I sided with the Stormcloaks, and on my travels I often come across Imperial camps. Now realistically I want these camps to be destroyed. So I clear them out and kill everyone. Sounds great and immersive right?

Well, not exactly. Each camp has a Legate, sort of a mini-boss (if he can indeed be called that, they are a bit weaker). And these Legates cannot be killed, they just go on their knee and get back up, no matter how much damage or how many times it's done.

This is really immersion breaking for me. I thought for a game that included freakin sieges of cities I would be allowed to clear out and kill everyone in the enemy camps, but no. There's always that one little bastard that won't die.


Is there a reason for this? is there a work-around? it really bothers me.

Not only that, but you get a bounty as well..

same thing happens in stormcloack camps

But you can kill Thalmor emissaries in their camps. I guess the hidden message is: "Aldmeri agents are the true enemies"

I killed a stormcloak courier by mistake and i got a bounty, decided to load an old save... I understand what you mean

The worst part is that Ulfric Stormcloak asks that you "deal" with any remaining Imperial camps....which is impossible due to this design flaw.

This is revenge by the gods for killing one of the best characters in the game.

Kill who I want.
