Bandit camps must be fun to clear (for the missions)

To me a pacifist isn't just someone who doesn't kill an enemy. To bad Skyrim doesn't have this feature. But a pacifist is also someone who has a silver tongue who could persuade himself out of impossible situations.

edit-

It also would be nice if enemies who begged for mercy would actually run away instead of picking up their sword to bash you in.

I have had Bandits exit the zone after running away. they do indeed run. its rare because they are idiots, and think they can take you.

also I play as a pacifist in the game all the time...the problem is the enemy keeps on accidentally falling on my sword.

Kudos to that dude for a interesting play through idea.

I've got a Khajiit who also does not kill (or attack), but I went in another direction with it and only use archery to cause distractions and use that to bypass my enemies. I thought about getting into Illusion for Calm, but I had so much fun getting through Bleak Falls Barrows without it that I decided to not use any magic.

It is a very fun way to play, but I do wish that there were more quests other than MDK.

No way I could do it myself, but that's completely awesome that he does it.

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 5:47 pm

That is very cool...makes me rethink my game (not as a pacifist, but alternate ways of doing things...)

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 8:35 pm

Made me laugh. :happy:

I do kind of wish there were more "Kojima" options in Beth games...
I remember an epic OB thread here of someone playing clean - don't remember if he ever succeeded at the end, but it was crazy how difficult it was for him. Like days to figure out strategies.

a lot is possible, if you stay away from the mainquest.

Yep. You just need to pick and choose your quests, and it helps to have already played a character that knows which quests are combat-centric.

For example, radiant quests from Inns are all kill-based, as are some of the Guild quest lines. However, Bard's College, and follow-up quests, are all doable without killing/aggroing anything. I wish there were more radiant quests that involved bringing an item back to someone, as those can usually be done without aggroing/killing.

felix is such a great guy

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 1:57 am

Nice, but I couldn't play to that extreme.

I try to play peacefully in general, but the game mechanics are such that you'll miss out on a load of content. So I have to adapt it with a bit of logic - if some crazy monster is out for your guts and you're barely managing to scraqe through, you've got to do what is necessary.

And of course, no mercy for undead and evil people.

Edit: one thing that would really help is if there was the ability to knock people out with unarmed (or blunt) combat, rather than killing.

Great video! This guy even never grabbed any insect or fish for alchemy, according to one of his comments. :goodjob:

<3 1/3 characters I make is a pacifist (I didnt know its been called that way!) I never thought others do the same

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 11:23 pm

A pacifist.

In SKYRIM?!

I admire you

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 8:35 pm

Funny that a typically carnivorous creature (cat) is playing like that.

Quite a good idea, worth a try, but you can't play the full game...
