If these two were to fight each other to the death, who would win? They both seem really powerful in the quests.

mercer was a pushover and having to do that entire idiotic questline to become a [spoiler] just to fight him was absurd. We have no chance against him! we need to power up. oh look he died like some random restless draugr.

as for who would win my moneys on the clown.

I'd say the jester too

Mercer was an [censored] with lifestealing swords and the ability to become invisible... he will win.

I think getting the batman armor was the main point. I can try to set up a fight between them and see who wins later.

Get your bets in!

But he is so bad at detecting someone hiding with high sneak....... cicero will stab him without problem..

Cicero of course, 'cause Cicero is your bestfriend.

Hmmm...I foresee an NPC wars video popping up soon. I hope they both use their ingame skills and not just charge at each other like common guards. If it comes down to brute strength I think poor Cicero will die although it does take a lot to kill him. If they use their abilities it will be funny if Mecer goes invisible and Cicero goes into sneak mode and then they just walk around yelling "Where are you?!" Lol.

Mercer Frey (50) vs Cicero (50) : Mercer Frey's dual-wield sword-dagger combo is much too strong for Cicero's tiny dagger. Winner: Mercer Frey

Mercer Frey (50) vs Demora Lord (46) : Mercer Frey wins with 20% health remaining. Winner : Mercer Frey

Mercer Frey (50) vs Master Borri (100) : The fight was really boring and long. Borri was abusing his no cooldown iceform and when Mercer Frey gets his chance to attack, he absorbs health back. I was about to end the fight as a draw when Borri blew Mercer Frey down High Hrothgar. Winner : Master Borri

Lol. Since you dragged Master Borri into it why not match him to Ulfric to see who is more powerful in the force...erm...voice?

Mercer Frey (50) vs Draugr Death Overlord (45) : the overlord proved to be too strong beat him with 50% health remaining. Winner: Draugr Death Overlord

Mercer Frey (50) vs Ulfric Stormcloak (50) : The power of the a lesser thum'um user is no match for a Dwarven Sword of Devouring. Mercer Frey wins with 95% health. Winner : Mercer Frey

Mercer Frey (50) vs Dragon Priest (50) : The dragon priest kited Mercer Frey all the way until he somehow got trapped. Winner: Mercer Frey.

Mercer Frey (50) vs Alduin (97) : the world eater was kept on ground to make the fight fair. except it is not. Winner: Alduin with 80% health remaining.

Cicero wasn't strong. He was portrayed strong, but actually fighting him he was rather weak. Mercer was built to be strong though, so Mercer would win.

Mercer is nothing.

Cicero.

He's easily the better combatant. Yes Mercer has the life-stealing sword and a touch of invisibility, but Cicero is the far better fighter with his daggers. I ran a play-through where I actually killed Cicero rather than my usual (where I let him live so he can lighten up the Dawnstar Sanctuary upon his return), and I have to say that the fight against Cicero is easily three times as difficult as the fight against Mercer Frey.

I think Cicero would turn Mercer into a new suit...



Hail Sithis!

And you should also mention that Cicero was WOUNDED when killed him in the DB quest..

Cicero FTW!!

True that. Even while severely wounded, Cicero is a much tougher fight than Mercer Frey.

Cicero would easily send Mercer into the Void to face his agony at the feet of Sithis.

All hail the Dread Father!
