Brenuin? He isn't so bad, and actually quite friendly once you get to know him. If you have Hearthfire he becomes a great friend of the orphan in Whiterun. Now, Degaine on the other hand, is probably the worst drunk. No such good attitude from him what so ever. Sadly, do I force myself not to kill him for the sake of keeping up the population.

I only kill NPC's who piss me off.

Unfortunately. some who really piss me off are essential !!

I can't seem to get satisfaction from killing vendors, innkeepers, or townsfolk. I'd have preferred no essential tags, or at least an option to remove them at the players' discretion.

This was my motive as well, I was just itching for an excuse to get rid of that annoyance, and some vampire gave me a good reason to have my first character kill Nazeem off.

A different character killed Illdi from the Bard's College for sending some thugs to try and kill him, being an Orc, he reacted a bit violently when he found her little note, decided to take his complaint with her up in person.

My third Xbox 360 character has no such tendencies (yet) And my PS3 character is only starting out and still thinking what she wants to do with her time in Skyrim, she is currently still trying to protect everyone.

Only one woman by accident, cant remember her name, at the start of the TG, and also every single farmer I encounter on the road who is "on his way to Solitude to join the legion", im obsessive about as im a stormcloak and figure its one less imperial ill have to face later on lol

Haven't done it, but I'm planning to murder the Nord just outside Belathor's shop in Whiterun. Every goddamned time I pass by him, he's always saying, "Know what's wrong with Skyrim these days? Everyone's obsessed with death!"

Every...god...damed...time! He wants death so badly, I'll send him straight to Sovengarde! I'll have my Dunmer companion kill him for me.

kill him with poison.

I know just the character to off him. My psycho Wood elf archer!

aim between his eyes.

Of course I've killed NPCs. A playthrough of Skyrim isn't complete without at least one random rampage through a city, killing people just for the sake of seeing how the game reacts to it (and how easy/hard it might be.)

But in all honesty, I find it unsettling that people kill Nazeem so frequently. Are we so insecure in ourselves that an inconsequential NPC questioning our social status is enough for us to want to kill him?

I've killed quite a few people on my Khajiit assassin, actually too many to remember to be honest lol. He's a pretty bad dude. I can think of Heimskr for sure off the top of my head, and also any guard that calls him 'cat'.

I killed nazeem...... then became him.

my only problem with killing NPCs is that you kill 1 then you have to kill the whole town or run away unless you kill them discreetly.

there should be an option to brawl with anyone so we can beat them up in peace

Everyone that wasn't essential and a kid, in Solitude. I killed off half of Elisif's court.
