Can I murder everyone?

I hate essential NPCs.

Going by Fallout 4, some important quest NPCs might be "protected" and set as "essential" meaning unkillable.

Mods can fix that, but you might end up with a bugged game after you've killed them.

Sometimes after doing their segment of the quest they become unprotected and killable.

So if you want a burn everything playthrough, just do a separate savegame where it doesn't matter how broken the game gets, and this might only be properly doable after we get mods. Though I -think- console commands might also be able to bypass this.

setessential <baseID> 0 – Allows the NPC to be permanently killed.
setessential <baseID> 1 – Sets them to be unkillable.

If that's same as Fallout 4.

There are mods for Skyrim that remove essential status certain npcs.... even children. I expect the same here.

You won't be wasting your money. Im sure you'll enjoy the game. Why let anyone 'live'? Sounds like f u n

Fingers crossed for a space Nazeem. The man that sent my orc character in my first Skyrim game on a bloody wanted man trail spanning near my whole game. Then I got tired of it and paid everyone off.

I'm looking forward to hearing the stories, I'm sure many players will try this.

From what we know so far you'll be hunted by Bounty Hunters for sure, probably local police and who knows what else. But I'm sure it'll be fun!

If the console might be the same, then so might the codes. setessential [npc id] [essential status] If you set the status to 0 you can kill them. To get the npc id, you open up the console with tilde key and with the npc in question infront of you, you should see it.

i encounter them to when doing the Crimson fleet quest line basically went in guns blazing, had npc that where basically refusing to give me info i needed or wanted to con me first and had no way to kill them to take the info or dialog option to force it out of them.

Also that Hole Only way to leave the Crimson fleet is though Death is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Delgato the Leader Basically spared 2 guys 1 being a Rookie of all things and the other being an Older time that was exiled.
