Playing Skyrim as a pacifist : V

I saw this on Kotaku and it's pretty amazing. Dude has got to level 9 without killing anything, he just uses illusion spells, it's hilarious.

I have to say that a pure pacifist would be a hard way to play this game. It would be a fun challenge, but very difficult in some quests to pull off.

Pacifism isn't so hard. Especially since a pacifist wouldn't really engage in any quest that he knew would result in combat in the first place. He wouldn't bother with the MQ, or civil war. He would at the most, just defend himself. And since this is an ES RPG, who's medium is the epitome of role playing, you can just make your own quests, story's, plot twists, etc.

Members of the Companions are immortal i.e. no baby sitting unlike that one chick who claims to be my thane who dies when I strike her

Gonna be hard to finish the main quest as a Pacifist, if not outright impossible. I'm pretty sure that there's at least one situation where you have to kill something to advance the plot.

Well judging from the damage he took from all that in cloth armor id say the difficulty level is below adept...guess its good for roleplaying though

"I don't do any quests that require me to kill". That's what I tell my grandma.

Edit: That is kinda' cool tho- Having seen the vid.
I always clear~out every area before I start looting or moving forward. The idea that you can just sneak or just run past baddies and move forward in game, is a good thing. Gives me some ideas...

I wouldn't say he's a complete pacifist because he said he uses his mace of fear

I'd say getting hit with that is nasty and maybe leaving future wounds and the thing that got hit may want to be put out of it's misery haha

He's secretly being more sadistic

No, no...
"I use dagger/bow to kill everyting, accidentally"...That's a Vegan.
You're a Vegan, not a Pacifist.

There is a link in the first post of this thread and when you click on it there is a video clip. I'm sorry your fingers are too frail to click the mouse button once. You should get that looked at!

Anyway, back to the point of this thread. I have to admire the pacifist guy, because let's face it, 90% of games require you to kill something or someone in order to progress.
