Heimskr: How many ways have you killed or wanted to kill him

Post » Sat Jun 16, 2012 2:41 am

I always laugh when Heimskr says, "I love you!". As I'm usually running to Dragonsreach or Jorrvaskr when I hear him, he doesn't get on my nerves too much. To me, he adds humor to the game, and I like the crazy zealot. Just don't leave the kids alone with him...


A bit like Herbert from Family Guy.. What he is preaching is sort of wrong (all about hating elves and rising up etc.) but he should be free to say what he likes wether people agree with it or not.

I've never murdered him before. Once attempted to kill him by shooting an arrow straight up in the air after seeing it in a video, never succeeded, so I let him live.

After Dawnguard though, there is no telling what an angry, hungry vampire lord can do.

Still praising the Stormcloaks, who blew up his house.
A little suffering for the cause, that's all.

He's NOT wrong. He's 100% dead on (no pun intended for the thread, lol).

If I were to kill hime it would be the werewolf frenzy where the player rips his face off with their claws.

He's my new adorable fan in terms of irritating characters. Usually I kill him in his sleep, but sometimes I feel creative and use the poison pickpocket or a frenzy spell.

Heimskr should be a marriable NPC. Imagine being woken up at 2AM by him screaming about Talos in his sleep..

I see no reason to kill the man. He is preaching for what he believes. Should we just go and kill every protestor in the world?
He preaches by shouting at the top of his voice in the town square.

He's basically a non-racist/homophobic/anti-semitic/antiSwede version of the Westboro Baptist Church.

You mean non-racist, non-homophobic, non anti-semitic, non anti-Swede version of the Westboro Baptist Church ?

Third, I find the Christians who preach at military funerals annoying, should I just go up there and start swing swords?
No, of course not. I may not like people such as Westburrow Baptist, but I dont want violence. I want them in jail. With you're first point, I stand corrected. With your second point, Balgruuf is by far my favorite character. I have never picked the Stormcloaks during the Civil War questline, because as my friend said, Jarl Balgruuf is a boss :cool:

^Those are NOT Christians. End of point.

Please do not argue that or say otherwise here, because already mentioning that is breaking forum rules about religious discussion.

Also, OT: Heimskr is not stupid, especially since he preaches about a real-life figure, who did ascend to godhood....and furthermore, killing him just makes him a martyr. The only good justification for doing so would be based on his support of the Stormcloaks, though since he's a civilian (and a clergymen) he is not a military target, and his opinions should be respected, as long as he does not aid or abet the enemies of the Empire.

So you hate him for preaching about the Thalmor who really are dragging people out of their homes? What sort of messed up morality is that?

My thalmor sympathizer character is incredibly annoyed by Heimskr praising that heretic Hjalti, so I recently stabbed him to death in his sleep with a bound sword, to leave no trace at all....

I want to kill most Jarls, less than half are even tolerable to me, and I like only two, Balgruuf and Elisif.

I've left Heimskr alone. Why would I want to kill MK incarnate?
