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

Post » Tue Jun 21, 2011 2:13 pm

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.

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

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. :P

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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. :D)



(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.)
