I take off the full helm of anyone I kill. There is something about someone with a full helm. They become something else, less human.

I like to look them in the eye. I do not take the helm, I just take it off them and throw it on the ground. Full helms are dehumanizing. There is something much more proper about looking someone in the eye and killing them, versus staring at a piece of metal. I find it much easier to kill stormcloaks and guards because they have full helms. They do not seem human. I give them their humanity back by taking off their helm.
