Do you kill the first person you get a chance to? : V

Another fun poll to see how much TES players are alike. (I can't help it; i'm a political scientist.)

For me, I'm going to be itching to test how the game will react to me attacking the first NPC I see, as soon as I hear "Quiet! Here comes the guard." :toughninja:

The citizens of Skyrim better be prepared for the apocalypse on 11.11.11

Only with my evil characters, and I don't kill someone right off the bat. I try to be more subtle, at least initially.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 8:08 am

No, as soon as I get the relevant spells, I will heal the first wounded npc I come across.

Naw I be on chill mode till someone pops off at the mouth ya digg? Unless I have to kill that guy before he does anything.

Not the first I get a chance to, that's for sure. Then again, that depends on what you consider to be a chance. I consider the person standing in front of me while my axe is out to be a chance, lol.

I'm just going to make a save, then go beat a woman and take off her clothes. It better not be like fallout where they were wearing full undergarments! It should be like Oblivion or I'll demand a refund.

I've never roleplayed a character who senselessly kills innocents. In Morrowind this was because the characters were all so likeable, in Oblivion it was because they were either essential for some obscure guild quest or because I didn't want to put up with the Dark Brotherhood.

No, I try my hardest now to kill anyone. *Casts Invisibilty*

Maybe, just to test the AI and system. But after that I'll just reload

Nah I don't have any violent tendencies to the first people I meet.

I remember playing Oblivion for the first time and walking up to a nice little campsite with some dudes chilling out by the fire roasting quaill or whatever. I walk up and say hello and they call me something mean and I asked if I was supposed to kill them. Two minutes later and my net worth jumped like crazy.

Wow. I guess im the crazy one here, lol.

In Morrowind, at least...yes, I did. Because the first person I had a chance to kill was Fargoth.

EDIT: And happily enough, there's an "only if it's a Bosmer" option! This must be my lucky day.

Is there a better way to begin an epic journey then to go on a bloodthirsty rampage?

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:31 pm

Depends on a few factors.

If I end up killing any innocents it'll be an Argonian, probably becuase I want to live in a lizard free neighboorhood.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:36 am

Nope. First NPC I see, i'll talk to and test the dialogue. I will hit and kill a civilian fairly early on though, just to see how the guards react compared to Oblivion.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:42 am

Maybe to test AI, but not just for the purpose of killing someone.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 3:22 pm

I will kill the first Wizard I come across.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:46 am

New Engine + New AI + Radiant Story + Beginning Weapon = A LOT OF PEOPLE DEAD

probably the first elf that gets within arms reach...hopefully a decendant of valen dreth

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:17 pm

unless its a bandit or someone who genuinely ticks me off no. heh i remember stumbling upon hackdirt by chance and getting quickly irritated with everyone in the town so i slaughtered the lot of them even there precious "brethren" then one week later when i was browsing UESP i found out that place was involved in a quest where Dar-ma gets kidnapped i facepalmed at first but then i realised i saved myself the trouble of slaughtering those curs later on.

Only in self defence.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 8:28 am

Murder? No, not at all. I'm sure it will be self defense and stuff.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:07 pm

Naw I be on chill mode till someone pops off at the mouth ya digg? Unless I have to kill that guy before he does anything.

thats so gangsta that im sigging it.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:53 pm

On my badass super evil Warrior dude I will. But that play through won't be till at least 3-4 play throughs into the game

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:39 pm

In all my plays of Oblivion, I've never set out to just kill non-hostile NPCs. Heck, I've only seen Lucien spawn for two of my characters (him, I kill on sight.

)

(Fallout 3's a little different for me, but then, that's less of a "heroic" game... I've killed off the Family or Republic of Dave a couple of times. And I just off Roy Phillips whenever I see him. Immediately.)
