The whiterun general trader...

will someone else take over the shop?

I ask cos I really dont like his grating voice.

When he speaks I think my volume is up too high.... Nope he just talks way to loud.

I have not killed him to find out.

I think Sigurd takes over if you kill Belethor.

Kill him and find out. Post what happens here as I'm contemplating killing him myself.

Ysolda will, if you have not married her.

Sadly, I don't think he starts saying "I work for myself over at the general goods store." <_<

I killed him.
His shop never opened after that.
That was a few in-game weeks ago... *Shrugs*

Really? He's my favorite merchant in the game and generally provides my character (and player!) with a smile. :ermm:

Nope, sorry. No one takes over shops after the owner dies :/

So more Bethesda lies. Only if there were a song to sum up my feelings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyVVcQPJLgU

Not true.After you kill a certain merchant in Markarth,another one takes over the shop.

Or she's already running The Bannered Mare if you've killed Hulda.

So who's right? the guy saying Bethesda lied or the guy saying Ysolda will take over the shop?

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 1:24 am

Yes his assistant will take over.

I'm confused too. I'm not at my game now so if you are kill him and let us know what happens.

I'm pretty confused too and I'm right at my PC, so hold on a second while I try it...

EDIT: Ok, I made myself a nice dagger, snuck into the back of Belethor's shop during the day and murdered him while he was still on duty. 72 in-game hours later, nobody has taken over the shop and nobody in the game has taken notice.

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Ysolda says nothing about taking over the shop, but she is in the 'Belethor's General Goods' faction.

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 8:51 pm

I'll go try it out. Brb.

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 5:13 am

when belethor dies then belethors general goods is locked forever...such an essential shop is run by a non essential npc yet the nobody war captains at the camps are "essential"? wtf beth, at least have a replacement for belethor

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 8:21 pm

Yes his assistant will take over.

not in my game...i ate belethor in werewolf form months ago (real time) and no one has replaced him.
His annoying assistant still chops wood and talks about working at belethors shop but the shop is closed

Just tried it. Nobody took it over.

Sigurd was inside though, just doing his normal routine, telling me to "come by the shop".

I killed Belethor on my first run through and no one EVER took the shop back over. I was probably around level 10 or so and played that character to +50. The store would respawn food and that's about it.

Don't kill him. It's a major PITA without him there because he's the only one in Whiterun who buys everything.
