How do you say you’re finished with a game? Do you park your character somewhere nice before logging off for good? Or do you follow Skyrim player Jaeinskyrim’s lead by murdering every living thing in the fantasy realm until there’s nothing left but a chill breeze?
Almost every living thing, at least. We’ll get to that.
Som spottet af PCGamesN, redditor Jaeinskyrim i denne uge nåede deres drøm om fjernelse af Skyrim of life. Spilleren skærer systematisk ned NPC'er fra hver landsby, by, by og forpost, såvel som enhver vandrende hjorte- eller ulveflokk. Alt i alt slagtede de 2,201 humanoide NPC'er og 2,400 væsner, et samlet tal på 4,601 drab.
Of course, Skyrim doesn’t just let you empty a country off the jump. Mods (Jae cites Kill Em All & Death Awaits Us All) let you circumvent ‘essential’ NPCs, but generic characters like guards and bandits may respawn after a few in-game days.
There was, however, one named foe Jae couldn’t kill. Having cut down the Greybeards before learning clear skies, they couldn’t make it to Paarthurnax at the top of the world. While cheats would let them make the trip, Jae ultimately decided against it.
“Paarthurnax deserved better than that. He lives. However, He does leave me alone.”
Judging from their reddit history (which appear to be written in-character as the player’s, err, wife?), the process seems to have taken a month to complete.
