Poll: How Many of you killed the Talos Preacher in Skyrim?

[Lonewolfm16]

Kill a brother Nord, spreading the worship of the true 9th divine? Why would I do such a foolish thing? Talos guide you friend.

To be more exact, my playthroughs so far (Skyrim got pretty buried under other games so I only did one and then came back much later) have been a honorable Nord who would never hurt a preacher of the 9th Divine and a Khajiit thief who wouldn't kill unless there is profit in it... jail sucks too much.

 

[IrateDonnie]

I do occasionally maul him as a werewolf. I'm not sure whether that's sneaky or in broad daylight, though.
I also tried it with brynjolf, but it seems his genuine falmer blood elixir does make one immortal ...

I never killed him but I wish I could kill Brynjolf. Somehow my game got glitched doing the last Thieves Guild mission & for some reason I can't finish it so I've been stuck with Brynjolf for a while now.

 

[Jfswift]

He never bothered me much. I always liked that he opposed those douchey thalmor elves. The only character I take out consistently in any game is that annoying crestfallen warrior in dark souls.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

It's just background noise to me. No more tedious or annoying than the conversations when two npcs bump into each other.

 

[karma9308]

Accidentally killed him when I first turned into a werewolf. He ran up to me with a dagger when some guards were fighting me. It wasn't my fault I swear!

 

[Ashadowpie]

killed him right when i saw him preaching about a god. went to jail, said sorry and off questing again 3 minutes later. i basically attack all Assassins Creed preachers too. if they say " praise god" in any way, beware of the stabbity stabbity slasheroo shing!


yah im evil...and i LOVE IT

 

[WouldYouKindly]

Granted, I've definitely killed NPCs for less, but I let him be. I care absolutely nothing for the religious debate in Skyrim and neither do my characters. In fact, I'm fairly certain all of them would worship daedra. Some of them might be pure evil, but at least they do shit. Besides, Nocturnal favors thieves and most of my characters have a habit of taking anything that isn't nailed down. I've gotten more alchemy ingredients that way.

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

I only kill him in my games where I'm roleplaying someone that hates Talos/the Nine or a genuine psychopath prone to bouts of mass murder.
I usually keep him alive because he just gives away so much free ham. I mean if he were allowed to actually chew the entirety of whiterun would soggy bits and pieces of scenery.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

As soon as i got my Thane status it was my first order of business whack that spammer.He was acting like a telemarketer :Wonna buy some Talos, get your Talos right here with a complimentary set of knives.
He should thank Talos for the audio bug on my first playthrough cause he didnt die that quickly

Same here. Not only that, but then I went into his house, and found he had a bloody alter (or something like that) and a humanoid skull! Anyone with a bloody alter is not good in my books, the skull doesn't help.

I also took his clothes and set him on the chair next to his precious Talos Statue. That's what he gets for being a creep!

 

[Loop Stricken]

I killed him on my first character, but I learnt to tune him out after that.

Also, I'm surprised nobody posted this yet;

 

[Radoh]

He died of an arrow to the face while he slept.
I would gladly have done it in broad daylight, but something about a Dunmer murdering a Nord preaching about the outlawed Talos seems....
unhelpful to the cause.

 

[Saviordd1]

Why would I kill someone for trying to spread the glory that is Talos to the poor unfortunate people of Whiterun?

Because he never shuts up about TALOOOSSSSSSSSSS and the future of SKYYYRIMMMM.

I mean he's basically this

OT: Sorta, when you

Spoiler

Get transformed into a werewolf and have free rein to slaughter

I got straight for him and then for Nazeem.

If I'm rolling an evil character I just assassinate them.

 

[PrimitiveJudge]

I totaly ate his heart as a werewolf. then proceeded to kill everyone else before running off to markarth for the cycle and repeat

 

[CpT_x_Killsteal]

Surprisingly no. Just thinking about it makes me angry. I think I shall go kill him now.

 

[Goro]

Hang on - that chicks eyes moved.....
wait, did they?
Ah this is freakin' me out....
Wait! they moved again!
Stop it!
O/T, I run past him pretty quick so usually all I get is the doppler effect.

 

[Dimitriov]

OF COURSE NOT! D:

He spreads the word of Talos! Talos the Mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable!

To Him we give Praise! We are but maggots writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While He has ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walks among the stars!

But He was once man!

Aye! And as man He said, "Let me show you the power of Talos, Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now in royalty and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you."
Aye, love! Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For He saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel!

And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit! The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth!

Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives? And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people!

So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine! For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit the heavens and earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever!"


Captcha: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Eh, I probably killed him. Don't really remember among the thousands of other dead victims I have left around though. Come to think of it, I killed most of the killable people in town as a werewolf a few times.

 

[Cazza]

Why didn't you get a mod that just removes him. Your character doesn't have a murder in the stats and he's gone.

He alive for me he doesn't bother me enough.

 

[Mr Fixit]

I never have before, never even thought about it really, but I think I will just for shits & giggles now.
