Something totally unexpected happened last night. I was in Winhelm, and I was preparing to catch "the butcher" before he kills again; never did I expect him to target that ophan girl who sells flowers.
I was suprises because the game is coded so children can't die; he walked up to her, knife drawn, and (if it's nighttime) he'll stab her, but she wont die, instead she puts her fists up. the first time this happened, it was daylight, and I rushed at the man and killed him as he bore down on her. Then I was curious to see what would happen if he reached her, so I restored the game and watched as he walked up to her with his knife drawn, yet he didn't do anything until night time, where he performs the backstab animation on her, and she gets off the floor. I don't know if she'd try and fight or run, as I ran in and bashed his face in with Molag-Bal's mace.
What a really bizzare encounter. The Butcher targeted a child!!! Man, what an #^$^#^@ @%^#!!!
