Because they're all involved in some way with some quest and Bethesda just can't have anyone rendering a quest unfinishable because they killed a related character. Heaven forbid.

I think there would be quite some backlash if you couldn't finish the game because you killed someone so shut up.

no but i would like it if u could kill people who arent involved in the main story line...if i dont feel like doing the quest where i have to find the redguard (i got it right after the first dragon kill) i should be able to kill her

the game has set you up to be a hero...

So sorry you cannot do this. Tried Saints Row 3 yet. Kill thousands of people just for cocking you off.

If you play on PC you can easily disable invincible NPC's.

Just edit your skyrim.ini file (make sure you back it up first in case you [censored] something up).

Very much this. They took the consequence out of killing NPCs. First NPC I tried to kill was essential. Shut down the game immediately to cool myself off. Not happy.

And then there is New Vegas where you could kill everyone and it wasn't really a problem.

Am not a fan of killing spree.. However i do think we need to be able to kill any NPC... For the "freedom" of it and the "Roleplay". If i screw up a quest, i have myself to blame no?

I'm not a killing spree sort of person, either. In all the hours I've put into Skyrim, only once have I killed someone on purpose that was not quest related or hostile to me. That was the priest of Talos in Whiterun. He was getting on my nerves, so my assassin shot him.

What bethesda SHOULD do is let you kill essential characters, and then add a consequence, in that consequence you have to work your way around it to complete that quest

There are also essentials characters who aren't related to anything. Gisli is Solitude, for one. This is something I can't even begin to comprehend.
