I Killed Every NPC in Skyrim
Ойындар
The title says it all. Over the span of about 4 months, I managed to kill every NPC in Skyrim. With the 10 year anniversary of one of my favorite games coming quickly, I wanted to make a video where I could show my love for the game. Instead, I ended up showing something a little different than love...I really love Skyrim, but this God forsaken challenge really took its toll. Just be glad that I did it, so you don't have to.

Lol. I think the DB have rules who to kill and the limit. If it's a whole organization, then it still has to be done by name of a person, by person, and a clear motivation.
My sister did this at 12 years old on her main save. I asked her why and she said that she wanted to get legendary archery. Still scared of her to this day

When a man kills people the news media mentions it for weeks almost a month , , ,however when a woman commits a homicide , it gets maybe mentioned 3 times in one week and virtually never again , , government wants constant births and orphans to later fill military ranks , , so killer women stories are suppressed , so men will feel comfortable approaching females , if they got same level of press , nation birthrate would drop to one-3rd , , , it's the bonafide truth even if it sounds wonky , ,🤔🎃🤔🤔

Most of the population is made out of bandits and guards. If none of those guys respawned, Skyrim would be a noticeably underpopulated nation by the time you've killed Alduin. It would also be a noticeably popular tourist destination due to the fact you can see some one third-vampire one third-werewolf one-third-dragon god bend the will of reality to their every whim with a random platter they picked up off of the nearest coffee table, most likely spawning a "Children of Atom" esque cult.

Imagine being a random citizen in a neighboring nation in Tamriel, like in raven rock, hearing scattered reports of a great dragonborn legend who helps everyone and became the leader of several guilds due to their greatness, and then a few months later, hearing reports that the very same dragonborn has gone mad and is murdering everyone, only for those reports to slowly become more and more infrequent before stopping completely. And then hoping and praying that he doesn't leave Skyrim.

5:53 That actually fascinates me, because I came across her in my first playthrough, and ever since then, I make sure to kill her in every playthrough for a free bed to sleep in prior to buying a house. She always attacks me first, so it's not murder. Granted, she attacks me because I broke into her cellar, but the game says it's not murder, so it's fine. :)
*Video starts* *Immediately sees Far Cry 5 reference* Oh yeah, this one is gonna be a good one
Imagine the scene... The empire hears about random massacres that are happening around the hold of Skyrim, along with the assassination of the emperor in said hold. alongside that, the aldmeri dominion receives the news that their embassador in Skyrim and all of their agents have been systematically murdered. They send a scouting legion to check out the region along with some thalmore legions... Only to be met with a dead providence, every hold, town, village, outpost, guild and political figure, dead... All murdered without a second though... They search the land... No one besides animals and the ocasional bandits that escaped the slaughter, telling tales of a dark knight, followed by a black miasma of death. The empire tries to repopulate Skyrim... But no one wants to be there anymore, seeing the place as a cursed land. The aldmeri dominion starts numerous missions to try and locate this "Dark knight" as to eliminate him, afraid that he might try and spread this massacre across the land of tamriel, or worst... To them! Throughout all of that... On top of the throat of the world stands the corpse of this so called dark night... His armor poisoning the land around him. In the end, the only creature capable of killing him... Was himself.

Even though this was just a silly video made for fun, I feel like the fact that you felt empathy for simply the IDEA of a human being (and dog) sort of lends to the idea that humans are more inherently good than evil.
Rarely do I watch or read something that makes me need to stop, step back and take a moment to internalise my emotions. This was one of them. The ending has me laying in bed staring straight into my dark screen with unseeing eyes. It was horrible. It was beautiful. You did an amazing job with the tone of the video, the cinematics, the music choice... All I can say is wow, kudos man. Didnt think I'd be this profoundly affected by a Skyrim KZread video but you succeeded in doing so. You have a new fan!
If you used the Ebony Blade for the entire challenge, you would have learned what it does. The Ebony Blade grows in power every time you specifically kill an npc with a relation value of 3 (friend) or higher (so, lover). It actually grows to be the strongest weapon in the game in terms of base damage, and you even get dialogue from the daedric prince it belongs to every time it gets stronger

For joining the dark brotherhood, clairvoyance points to Vasha only because he’s at the top of the objective list in the quest, which is what clairvoyance will guide you to. So realistically speaking, Vasha isn’t necessarily the target. That said, in-universe, I don’t think the clairvoyance spell would mislead you.

Your approach is waaay more organized than mine was. I tried this same thing back in 2012. I would also loot all of the bodies so that they were ‘naked’ and drag them to a central location in whatever town/area I was in. This also resulted in me accumulating so much crap that my house in Whiterun became a hoarder house that was so cluttered, it would crash the game when I tried enter it. I ended up giving up the ghost after a couple months and had probably accomplished only about 2/3 of what you did, lol. Thanks for the motivation (and guidance!) for getting me interested in trying it out again.

To be the World Eater?" -My soul will never be free of it's sins "As it should be. For this is the torment I endure each time I consume the world. Why I didn't want to end it. You can see why I rebelled against my duty. Now it can end. For you have ended it" -Just kill me and be done with it "No. Father has plans for you" Alduin then shouts, and the screen goes white....

Hard to spend so much time with these npcs and not get attached or feel like they were real people who affected your life. I think addressing that the challenge didn't make you feel good is honeslty the healhtiest way to address it. This video reminds me of the premise of DDLC which is definitley a more meme centered version since it starts as a spoof of the anime dating sim, but it also talks about the level to which npcs exist and the impact of in game actions on coded characters. It was really hard to play and was super dark, but its a solid game in terms of AI Philosophy. But again, you can acheive the same questions this way.
Plot twist - this was the only way to create huge army in Sovngarde to fight Alduin. The most moral thing a man could ever do.

That opening scene where you showed a bunch of dead people was actually so cool
Interesting that you had never seen Anise before as, for me, she was the one characters that opened my eyes to how much detail Skyrim had. I remember that, when I first started playing, I walked by her house, saw her and thought "she is probably a witch" (Typical old medieval witch living in the woods by herself cliché), but, as I noticed she wasn't hostile, I entered her house and noticed the door to her cellar. I sneaked in and read her letter to Moira talking about wanting to create a witch coven, confirming my suspicion. I didn't notice, however, that I was stealing the note, as all the books I had seen so far could just be taken. I kept doing my quests, went to Riverwood and one of the kids there asked me to play hide and seek. She counted to three and, no joke, as soon as the countdown ends, I hear "should've never come here!" as I'm being attacked by hired thugs. At first, I thought it was a programmed event where a kid would bait you into looking away as some dudes tried to kill you (Would be cool if it was), but, then, I found out by looting their bodies that she was the one that hired them. So I went back there and found her to be hostile (I left there sneaking the first time, so I could fast travel near her) and killed her. Later, when doing the Sanguine Rose questline, I immediately remembered that Moira was the name of her sister that she was sending letters to. With the simple act of getting in the house of this old witch, I learned about the NPC relations, the hired thug/bounty system, the hargravens and how much cool lore and details there was in this game. So, even though she's really irrelevant, she's a very important NPC to me.

I just met her for the first time the other day in my new playthrough and because I'm a nosey little bitch I broke into her basement. However, when I left her cellar, she yelled "None may know my secret!" And immediately became hostile to me. I felt really bad killing her, for one because I myself was doing a mage run, fellow witch essentially, but two, she was just an old woman. I don't see "witch coven" as this terrible crime, so I felt bad that I had essentially ended it before it started. I took all her shit after tho. What can I say, I'm a nosey bitch and those ingredients were gunna go to waste!

I like to believe, from a narrative stand point, that this is the result of actually consuming Alduins soul. He is too strong, even in ethereal form, and he corrupts the Dragonborns mind, body and soul, and slowly the Dragonborn deteriorates mentally until all that's left is to eat the world. So they start slaughtering anyone and everyone, not sleeping or eating, wearing dark armors that feel at home as Alduins scales once did, and at the very end kills themselves in a final bout of lucidity before Alduins spirit consumes them completely.

But that was only the start of it. Soon enough, you learn that you two were the only ones that were left after a man had gone around all of Skyrim, killed everybody, and then himself, leaving the world a desolate domain.

As Dump looks over Skyrim, he felt Paarthrunax’s soul enter his own, becoming just another of the countless dragons he had slain. As Whiterun, and all the other major cities in the land burned, creating orange dots on the map like world, Dump began to come to terms at what he had done. He had killed everyone, his friends, the closet thing he had ever had to family, and his wife, Lydia, sacrificed to Boethia. Then something dawned on Dump, as he removed the mask of Nakhiriin, for what felt like the first time in years, he looked out over the world and knew there was still one person left, him. Dump began to take steps toward the ledge, and closed his eyes as he felt the ground leave his feet. He awaited what fate would befall him. He felt a pain in his spine and neck, and then it all stopped. Dump opened his eyes, and got to his feet. He saw that he was now in Sovengarde. And ready to face his consequences, he raised Wuuthrad and made the trek to his judgement.
Dang, that got darker and darker. In the beginning I was like thinking hey I kinda want to try this too. Now I am thinking that maybe it is better not to even try. Also the editing and the story itself is all well done. I love the choices of music and the way things are presented. Then to finally kill the last person in Skyrim (not spoiling) was both poetic and depressing. After everything was dead it made living itself empty. (I shared it with my discord 👌)

Why have you done these things?" Dump: "I...I have to." Paarthurnax takes a deep breath in, and says "I do not know what drives you, or clouds your mind, Dovahkiin. But...After you finish it. Leave. Do not return" Dump takes a step forward, as the specter of Lydia appears behind him, and Paarthurnax accepts his fate, knowing he cannot stop him.

I saw this video and several other comments and i wanted to try and make my own little story detailing the aftermath of this run: "As you finally pass through the Jerall Mountains on a routine merchant run from Cyrodil to Helgen you notice that the sky continues to grow darker, as if the sun refuses to shine in this part of Tamriel. Your first thought was that the encroaching winter was making days shorter and nights colder, but that was quickly debunked from checking your calendar: Its the middle of Suns Height. The seventh month of the year in which it is the warmest and brightest, where farmers reap their fields and villagers cool themselves off in cold rivers. Something has happened during your time through the Jerall Mountains. Something that was confirmed uppn finally reaching the borders of Skyrim, empty of any guard presence and the walls blackened with sickly rot You discover a sign nearby, your merchant convoy woodworker notes that the wood is only a month old at most and yet is blackening and rotting at an almost impossible rate Your scribes present you with a copy of the writing on the sign, what little writing they can salvage that hasnt rotted to illegibility was delivered to you just now The sign reads as follows: * ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶P̶r̶o̶v̶i̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶O̶f̶ ̶S̶k̶y̶r̶i̶m̶* **This place is not the Skyrim you once remembered, you will find no farmers working the fields, children playing in the streets or young men and women to fall in love with. You will not find great riches or a higher calling here. This province is dead. In every sense of the word that meaning can ascribe to it, past this border-warning there is only mounds of bodies, wild animals, starving bandits and desperate vampires. There is not a single living soul in the entirety of this dead province. Our records are spotty on account of a lack of eyewitnesses, but the world eater, Alduin, the harbinger of the end times had returned to swallow the world, the prophecy of the Dragonborn was fufilled, a man rose to defy the return of the dragons and destroyed the black wyrm. Saving Nirn from the apocalypse We could not have been more wrong. Whether due to his dragon blood, daedric corruption or the insidious possession by Alduin, the dragonborn went on a slaughter. Butchering every man, woman and child in every hold and village. As the butchery continued, infrastructure began to break down due to a lack of manpower. Crops rotted in the fields with nobody left to tend to them. Buildings caught fire, roads and public works fell into disrepair and the survivors starved. Then came the blight, a daedric poison wind that spread only decay and sickness wherever it went. Theorized to have emenated from an artifact of the Daedric Prince Boethiah that the Dragonborn had discovered or earned in service to the Prince. The Blight poisoned the land and darkened the skies. Only the hardiest survivors and animals survived the poisoned wind. As food supplies dwindled and the dead continued to grow, many desperste survivors turned to cannibalism, subsisting off of the carrion left behind by a maddened butcher, and eachother Not even the vampires, insidious creatures that they are, were safe. The collapsing population of skyrim led to fewer and fewer thralls. The starving vampires became desperate for fresh blood. Hunting for survivors and even attempting to escape the province altogether. We dont know if they succeeded. We urge any travellers who pass through the Jerall Mountains to consider this: There is nothing of value left in this part of Tamriel, you will only find death, starving cannibals, desperate vampires, and the Blight. Turn back. Before its too late**
