Poll Result #5 : NPCs

  • We had a lot of fun with this final poll in our week long recap of poll results. We asked 'Which NPCs do you most want to punch in the face?'. Here are the results:

    What we talked about on this thread were the NPCs that were just soooo annoying that you just wanted to smack them hard! And, as we can, see the pride of place in the rogues gallery went to Heimskr, the Talos Priest who spends his days wailing away in the Wind District of Whiterun.

    In fact it seems that Whiterun is a repository of annoying people - as we also find annoying children running around in the street, and the arrogant and supercilious Nazeem can be found wandering around making everyone trying to feel inferior.

    Personally, I voted for another Whiterun resident, Belethor, and was a tad surprsied he didn't get a higher vote. Who isn't annoyed by his by his parting shot of 'Doooo come agaaaain'?

    Anyway, what do you make of this poll? Surprised? Or pretty much what you would have expected?

    My first two playthroughs had me peppering Heimskr from a hidden locale. My 3rd playthrough which I am currently on I've reached the threshold of tolerance with poor Heimy and he better shut up or he's 3rd time unlucky.

    Well, I can't say I'm surprised that nobody likes Heimskr. I'm personally rather fond of the guy, though that could be because I never stay in his area for very long at a time. I've only killed him once... My Empire-siding Nord didn't much like him shouti...  more

    Seems like a Werewolf came into Whiterun the other day and murdered Nazeem and Hemskir. What a shame

    I kill him. Every time. I always make sure to use Histskin while I do it, it feels like a little Insult.

    I despise Cicero. Maybe he wouldn't be so bad if he didn't try to murder The Shadowscale...

    Cicero is awesome, he isn't annoying at all, I think he has the best follower text lines af them all, he makes me laugh, and his text is better than 'I'm sworn to carry your burdens' etc.
    I voted for the Talos Priest. I have killed him on every play...  more

    I don't understand why people want to punch the talos priest. I can't hear him when I'm walking by, and if I can hear him I just ignore him. Nazeem on the other hand... (Loads shotgun)
