The best thing about the Constant example in Hitman 2 is that if you do kill him via the switch, the game rewards you via a completed challenge called "Couldn't Resist"
I did kill the RD4 Merchant the first time I seen him but after that I never did again because he is awesome and the most iconic character in resident evil even more so than Leon Chris Jill Claire or Wesker
Why is this killswitch even in the game, if the Constant absolutely MUST survive?? Are there any in-universe reasons or did the devs just put it in to troll the players?
If Vader had completed his betrayal it would have been run by a guy named Annie and there was definitely a period where the First Order was run by a guy named Ben. I'm not even going to try spell Thrawn's many names but I think I'd take Emperor Kyle over that.
Either way things go, the huge amount of What Ifs/Elseworlds/Infinities on Star Wars as a whole begs the question: why haven't we got full fledged Multiversal crisis events for it as of late, even in Visions?
You have no idea how sweet and affectionate that chicken was. In an era with no internet it's antics endeared it to that town like you wouldn't believe.
You know how there are a bunch of towns across rural USA that don't really have anything interesting going on so they try and come up with some sort of attraction to put them on the map, like the world's biggest ball of twine or a chicken that can supposedly tell the future? Well, I think that's what the Riverwood chicken was. That was their prophetic chicken, the only thing that gave that village a sense of identity, and you just killed it to satisfy a passing violent urge. You deserve everything you got.
My Skyrim fuckup wasn't the chicken (I apparently resisted and figured I could get food at the inn like a normal person). No, mine was not noticing that I had contracted vampire spawn disease at Pinemoon Cave, attempting to seek out Fallion in Morthal, and then getting stuck in a death loop with the citizens of Morthal.
reminds me of one of a strange problem i once had: i had just arrived at the temple of Miraak, and i made the mistake of Sneaking up on Frea, and SHE turned aggressive and killed my character! and worse, i accidentally quick saved ONE second after she noticed me! so i was stuck in a death loop, and had to load an earlier save file, WAY back in Raven Rock!

The worst part about killing that chicken in Riverwood is that, at this point in the game there are NO guards stationed in Riverwood to actually arrest you, so you don't get the option to simply pay off your bounty and resolve the hostilities. You either die, kill a bunch of potentially important NPCs, or have to skip town for a bit (and maybe pay off your bounty in Whiterun proper).
And if you fight you will have a kill on sight bounty, once you hit Whiterun. With the surrender mechanic being iffy at best, you might not have a chance to talk yourself out of that one. Better flee to the next Hold and spend some time avoiding the center of the map. Woopsies

the fact that one action in that star wars game puts you straight to the bad/evil end reminds me of infamous 1. you can do all the good karma and not killing civilians and everything, but if you keep the power to yourself near the end of the game, you are locked to the evil end, where Cole has the dark red powers.
The ending of Fable 3 fills your good or bad karma one way or the other regardless of where it was, so my completely morally grey chracter who used their wealth to buy the majority of the 'nice' options when you take over as monarch (Except I replaced the orphanage with a brothel because orphans are expensive and Stephen Fry was very convincing) grew angel wings and became a bastion of all that is good despite all the murders and land grabbing. I was miffed.
@@jasonparker346 But destroying the loyal family droid friend who did nothing but be good and deliver messages and help you get your first lightsaber? Basically rewarding friendship and loyalty with bored betrayal? Better believe that's a dark side ending!
@@Joe90h Fable 3 is definitely the weakest game in the main series in my book, and the whole ending sequence is a big part of that. So much potential being squandered is kind of the story of Fable in general, but the way they handled all those decisions and the "consequences" (or lack thereof) for them and made the ending sequence so bland and underwhelming is the epitome of that. Then also saddling you with suddenly being either pure good or pure evil took away most of the point of what those choices would have meant.
Well personally I think the most relatable thing Jane has said is "Hey you, you're finally awake" after she removes us from the cloning pods in the secret basement laboratory but in fairness I think we were supposed to repress that memory until our eventual uprising and takeover of modern society.

I can remember my dad and aunt's birthday because for my dad is it's exactly 7 months before one of my brothers and for my aunt 7 months exactly before mine. Me and that brother are three days apart like my dad and uncle. My sister and my mom have their birthday 3 months apart exactly.

Even I remember that line of dialogue from Skyrim. And I haven't even played the game, only seen it over and over and over and over again in all sorts of videos, the most memorable one being one of your own on inescapable openings.
Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past taught me long ago not to attack innocent chickens. I always just knocked the Constant out and stuffed him in a locker. It still counts. I didn't realize you were supposed to lead him to a boat lol also I totes killed him with the device. Because who wouldn't?
Honestly, when I played Shivering Isles, I had already had it beaten into me pretty hard by the lore that YOU CAN NOT BEAT A DAEDRIC PRINCE, so I never tried attacking Uncle Sheo. I saved all my aggression for Haskill, like a normal person.
It took Martin _becoming an avatar of Akatosh_ to take Mehrunes Dagon in a head-on fight and that turned him to stone by the time it was done. As far as I know, he’s still there, a colossus in what was the Temple of the One four hundred years later.
The Riverwood chicken bit was literally the only thing from this channel that has genuinely made me lose my shit like a 12 year old on Christmas. Shit had me crying.
One did not properly loot Helgen, while escaping if the first thing your trying to do is kill a chicken instead of find merchants to sell the stuff over encumbering you.

Divinity Original Sin 2, Lord Linder Kemm. After you raid the Magister hideout in Act 4, you have a chance to confront Kemm about having sided with the Void. Doing so will spark probably the largest and most one-sided fight in the game with you and your party of four against Kemm and I believe it was Twelve of his Paladins.
A bit of an older one I just remembered: My first time playing through Oblivion, I accidentally killed a friendly NPC during the fight in Anvil and didn't realize it. I'm spamming the attack button as this guy in a robe runs up to me, so of course I kill him too. I found out later that the game had decided that because I'd killed an innocent, the middle of a huge, confusing fight was the perfect moment for the Dark Brotherhood to approach me. And that was the ONLY chance I had to join the Brotherhood. So a huge section of the game was unavailable to me because I was panic-fighting in a room full of NPCs. Thanks, Bethesda.
For some reason I absolutely hated Alkibiades in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Assassin's Creed games are ones with less chance to murder important NPCs unless it's via a specific quest. He was a complete perv and just generally unpleasant, I turned his romantic advances down at every opportunity and generally wished he would die 😅 I remember getting on with the Marquis de Sade in Unity more than him lol! I think he was meant to come across as a charming rogue so I don't know why I had such a hatred for him!
Another Hitman example from Hitman 2/WOA, "The pen and the Sword" sniper mission in Singapore. Han and Mina Ldong have been kidnapped and are being held hostage as the baddies get ready to load them on to a ship to be publicly executed for criticizing a dictatorship. Agent 47 must keep them alive while also killing the 3 main targets and their guards. The main targets will sometimes make a run for the hostages and try to kill them if they sense something is off.
I once saw somebody complaining that Elden Ring was bad because they attacked White Mask Varre immediately... and of course got straight into a deathloop because he's right next to the site of grace.
I like to think that the Riverwood Chicken is their mayor, or at least the town mascot. Imagine that at highland games “Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Riverwood Cocks!”
I mean if you had managed to dwindle Sheogorath's health down to zero, he is marked as essential. So, he is actually immortal upon having 10m hitpoints.
I love these videos but I miss when "Commenter Edition" would actually credit the commenter. It made the videos feel a bit more like a community project
I was wondering what NPC you were going to go with in Skyrim. Going with the chicken caught me off guard, but that's classic. Especially since i learned this lesson the hard way as I started Skyrim immediately after playing Fable 😅
@midgeot Figured I'd get food (which I'd need for hp), or crafting mats. You know, standard video game stuff. Oh boy, do Skyrim residents *really* like their chickens 😅😂
In Skyrim, if you cast Fury on the chicken, the town will absolutely flip out and *everyone* in town will converge on it to make sure it dies immediately and with extreme prejudice. It makes me wonder what sort of massacre was caused by a chicken that the reaction is faster and far more murderous than a dragon attacking.
I mean, you'd think that you'd just KNOW not to try attacking the Daedric prince of MADNESS in Oblivion, but I guess some players gotta fuck around and find out -- and hey, wait a minute. How do we know that chicken isn't Sheogorath in disguise in Skyrim? Making everyone love this one chicken that any adventurer might kill seems like his kind of fun.
Also, the infamous chicken killing is because there are no guards in Riverwood at the time so nobody to arrest you. It's another "bug" that became a "feature". They knew about it when the game was being shown off for the first time.
bug? you attacked an allied creature (of the townspeople) in sight of others and they turned hostile, whats broken about that? Skyrim has way too many other bugs to bother making new ones up to complain about!
The guards are sent there after Whiterun is informed about the dragon attack and it is one of the early full journey travels you probably get to follow.
I remember in Hitman Codename 47 there was the brother of the U’Wa tribe’s chief in the first Colombia level While blindly answering from the storm of bullets coming from the game’s fog from the soldiers keeping him hostage on the bridge, I remember accidentally getting him and having to restart the level way too many times
Every time I see the Adoring Fan in Oblivion, I always remember this video I saw (I think it was by Mans1ay3r, but not too sure), there was a mod on and like 100s of copies of the adoring fan start falling out of this tower. But it had the song "It's Raining Men" while the bodies are falling all around. It makes me laugh until I cry just about every time lol.
In Majora's Mask, it is possible to kill the thief Sakon. On the first night when he robs the old lady of her bomb bag, normally you stop him by hitting him with your sword, causing him to drop the goods and run away. But if you instead shoot the bag full of bombs with an arrow, it explodes, killing him. Which is the worst possible outcome because it not only fails Kafei's questline because he can't track Sakon back to his lair, but also the old lady won't give you the bomb mask for helping her and you won't get the bigger bomb bag available for sale at the bomb shop since. You know. You blew it up. Good job, hero.
Majoras mask. Did you know there's a 4th day? Unlock it by beating the game. If you use cheats to manipulate time and you stay in town on the same day too long, the music will stop, background chatter will stop, and it makes the town feel empty.
In all my years of playing Skyrim I can't believe I'd never killed the chicken. I've killed everyone in that town multiple times... but never the chicken.
Tbf in unpatched Skyrim everyone must worship every chicken. Although they are also big snitches because if they see you kill anyone they'll use their chicken telepathy to alert every guard instantly.
Here's a real classic for you: Izchak, the Candle Merchant in Nethack. He's named for Izchak Miller, one of the devs, who died of cancer in '94. While there are no in-game consequences for killing him (beyond the standard effects of killing any shopkeeper), it's considered *extremely* bad form to do so; even players doing self-imposed challenges to exterminate every monster in the game will generally leave him be, and those who kill him him by accident will often make public apologies and/or do various forms of self-imposed in-game penance.
Vari the white masked from elden ring, he cooks you at low levels and if he dies, you miss out on a few leveling spots until later on with a portal in the snowfields
Not sure if Oersted/Odio counts from Live A Live (as you play as him at one point) but if you kill him instead of sparing him, you lock yourself out of the best possible ending
When "Solid Snake" faces off "Snake Eater" ( Formally known as "Snake Beater" ) is another situation where it would be bad to put a bullet in the enemy's head.
There's also "Till Death Do Us Part" in Hitman: Blood Money. The game tells you right at the start of that level that the bride is off limits, probably because she ordered the hit in the first place.
The only person attacking the dragonborn without a weapon was the blacksmith. Ahhh Skyrim never change (or is it a Dark Souls reference...? feature not a bug)
Sheogorath is a cop-out answer. This is a video about NPCs you can choose to kill, but shouldn't. You cannot choose to kill Sheogorath. You cannot kill Sheogorath, therefore he does not belong in a list about characters you can kill, but shouldn't.
How about obvious plottwists that for some reason only the player knew about? Spoilers for Ni No Kuni: It's painfully obvious that Swaine is royalty but somehow no one catches on
SPOILER FOR TOTK: Or how Zelda is obviously fake, and if the player could only tell all the NPCs that, a lot of trouble could be averted. You can have the master sword and the NPCs will be like: "You should get the master sword. Oh you already have that? Well then go find Zelda who has been causing the problems for all these races across Hyrule. What do you mean Zelda is a dragon?" Except that last part never happens, and the NPCs don't figure that out, but you know, if you've got all the memories unlocked.
SPOILERS for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl: Your jobs to find and kill Strelok is actually all too easy... all you need to do is for YOU to simply not do anything against the dogs and men and not avoid the anomalies and just die... *for YOU are Strelok.*
Tbf a big part of getting some of the mythical weapons (Excalibur especially) and completing the Templar tree in AC Valhalla requires you finding the zealots so tbh it’s more useful to have them track you. Saves you having to travel far and wide around the map if you tryna complete these objectives
What a shame, no mention of the Emerald Herald from Dark Souls 2. But nice video! You guys can never do wrong. And great joke about the merchant, Jane.
YAY, you covered a game I know (and know well) for once! Jedi Knight! Wow, I usually try everything, it's what made me a great game tester (I was once complimented on being able to find the weirdest petty things), can't believe I never tried killing Weegee! I mean, I probably attacked him, but as you clearly shouldn't I probably figured after a few hits that he was immortal... I mostly don't like the dark side storyline because 1) Going dark means the end of Force Ghost Guidance and cutscenes, 2) You get a repeat boss fight, the first teen upstart, and 3) You miss a boss fight (that babe in the cutscene). I hate not killing ugnauts - those monkey guys you showed - because they're annoying, but I've found that how you allocate force powers makes the most impact. So, when I face the turning point guy (last boss on Disc 1 - or first on Disc 2? I forget. The no legs floating guy) I use cheats to give myself all powers, full upgrades, then before the end of the fight use the cheat for all darkside powers. So all light side powers are fully upgraded, but all dark side powers are at beginning level/1 star each. WAY more points on the light side, I end up on the light side. :)

the fact that one action in that star wars game puts you straight to the bad/evil end reminds me of infamous 1.
you can do all the good karma and not killing civilians and everything, but if you keep the power to yourself near the end of the game, you are locked to the evil end, where Cole has the dark red powers.
The ending of Fable 3 fills your good or bad karma one way or the other regardless of where it was, so my completely morally grey chracter who used their wealth to buy the majority of the 'nice' options when you take over as monarch (Except I replaced the orphanage with a brothel because orphans are expensive and Stephen Fry was very convincing) grew angel wings and became a bastion of all that is good despite all the murders and land grabbing.
I was miffed.
Yeah and destroying a machine is not exactly the epitome of evil…. Except in Star Wars where droids are more beloved than some people😂
@@jasonparker346
But destroying the loyal family droid friend who did nothing but be good and deliver messages and help you get your first lightsaber? Basically rewarding friendship and loyalty with bored betrayal?
Better believe that's a dark side ending!
The reverse is also true, making it even funnier
@@Joe90h Fable 3 is definitely the weakest game in the main series in my book, and the whole ending sequence is a big part of that. So much potential being squandered is kind of the story of Fable in general, but the way they handled all those decisions and the "consequences" (or lack thereof) for them and made the ending sequence so bland and underwhelming is the epitome of that. Then also saddling you with suddenly being either pure good or pure evil took away most of the point of what those choices would have meant.
"I can remember that, but not my Dad's birthday." is the most relatable thing Jane has ever said
Well personally I think the most relatable thing Jane has said is "Hey you, you're finally awake" after she removes us from the cloning pods in the secret basement laboratory but in fairness I think we were supposed to repress that memory until our eventual uprising and takeover of modern society. Or Mother's day I can't remember which.
Femtober is my third favorite month, after Auguary and Muly.
It is indeed very relatable. I, too, cannot remember Jane's dad's birthday.

I can remember my dad and aunt's birthday because for my dad is it's exactly 7 months before one of my brothers and for my aunt 7 months exactly before mine.
Me and that brother are three days apart like my dad and uncle.
My sister and my mom have their birthday 3 months apart exactly.
And now I understand I've been trained by Legend of Zelda to not kill chickens... the first though seeing the townsfolk swarm the PC was, damn, Murder chickens with weapons.

It's a good idea as well, I didn't even know I picked the good option by sparing him until he mentioned the Zealots. I felt bad for him since his king abandoned him so I decided to spare him so he could get some vengeance
@@ShadowJCreed Well, you're probably going to kill the zealots anyway later on. The problem is that they are still too strong after completing Ledecestrescire as one of the first story quests.
@@vladdracul5072 true, and you do eventually need to hunt them all down since they're all members of the Order of Ancients. But in that situation you're hunting them down instead of them actively hunting you so sounds much better
@@ShadowJCreed That's what I meant. I tried one once who was maybe twice my level. It did not go too well.
But maybe some time I'll try not burning the scroll and see what happens.
Even I remember that line of dialogue from Skyrim. And I haven't even played the game, only seen it over and over and over and over again in all sorts of videos, the most memorable one being one of your own on inescapable openings.
Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past taught me long ago not to attack innocent chickens.
I always just knocked the Constant out and stuffed him in a locker. It still counts. I didn't realize you were supposed to lead him to a boat lol also I totes killed him with the device. Because who wouldn't?
Honestly, when I played Shivering Isles, I had already had it beaten into me pretty hard by the lore that YOU CAN NOT BEAT A DAEDRIC PRINCE, so I never tried attacking Uncle Sheo. I saved all my aggression for Haskill, like a normal person.
It took Martin _becoming an avatar of Akatosh_ to take Mehrunes Dagon in a head-on fight and that turned him to stone by the time it was done. As far as I know, he’s still there, a colossus in what was the Temple of the One four hundred years later.
The Riverwood chicken bit was literally the only thing from this channel that has genuinely made me lose my shit like a 12 year old on Christmas. Shit had me crying.
One did not properly loot Helgen, while escaping if the first thing your trying to do is kill a chicken instead of find merchants to sell the stuff over encumbering you.
Meh, unless you decided to carry all the twohanded iron weapons with you. You are probably fine still, unless you also passed through the mine on your way.
Uh oh, Jane's cardigan looks dangerously festive. Is she in Mike and Luke's secret society of November Christmas enjoyers!? Don't let Ellen know.
Just found out that the voice actor for Leon is the same voice actor as the merchant. My mind is blown
Here's a fun one: Paul Mercier also did the English voice for Jaques from Onimusha 3, a character who is modeled after (and briefly voiced by) Jean Reno. What is one of Reno's most well known movies? Léon, also known as The Professional
@@Chernobog2 I’m confused. So does that mean that Ashley is Natalie Portman?
Divinity Original Sin 2, Lord Linder Kemm. After you raid the Magister hideout in Act 4, you have a chance to confront Kemm about having sided with the Void. Doing so will spark probably the largest and most one-sided fight in the game with you and your party of four against Kemm and I believe it was Twelve of his Paladins.
A bit of an older one I just remembered: My first time playing through Oblivion, I accidentally killed a friendly NPC during the fight in Anvil and didn't realize it. I'm spamming the attack button as this guy in a robe runs up to me, so of course I kill him too. I found out later that the game had decided that because I'd killed an innocent, the middle of a huge, confusing fight was the perfect moment for the Dark Brotherhood to approach me. And that was the ONLY chance I had to join the Brotherhood. So a huge section of the game was unavailable to me because I was panic-fighting in a room full of NPCs. Thanks, Bethesda.
How about a list of NPCs who you wanted to kill, but couldn't.
Maven Blackbriar for example.
And the board of directors on Paradiso in Starfield.
@@SimuLord yeah, you have a point
For some reason I absolutely hated Alkibiades in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Assassin's Creed games are ones with less chance to murder important NPCs unless it's via a specific quest. He was a complete perv and just generally unpleasant, I turned his romantic advances down at every opportunity and generally wished he would die 😅 I remember getting on with the Marquis de Sade in Unity more than him lol! I think he was meant to come across as a charming rogue so I don't know why I had such a hatred for him!
Ugh, hate her! I tried over and over… that’s when I learned about essential NPCs. Ooooh, I was steamed! I hate to stop playing for a while.
@@Mulbert glad I’m not the only one who hates him! I always feel violated after talking to him.
I remember killing the chicken in my first ever skyrim playthrough and not knowing what the hell was going
I managed to avoid killing the chickens, but I did accidentally shoot a guard instead of a dragon

Another Hitman example from Hitman 2/WOA, "The pen and the Sword" sniper mission in Singapore. Han and Mina Ldong have been kidnapped and are being held hostage as the baddies get ready to load them on to a ship to be publicly executed for criticizing a dictatorship. Agent 47 must keep them alive while also killing the 3 main targets and their guards. The main targets will sometimes make a run for the hostages and try to kill them if they sense something is off.
I once saw somebody complaining that Elden Ring was bad because they attacked White Mask Varre immediately... and of course got straight into a deathloop because he's right next to the site of grace.
5:42 fun fact. If you're on pc, not even God Mode can save you from that fall.
I like to think that the Riverwood Chicken is their mayor, or at least the town mascot. Imagine that at highland games “Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Riverwood Cocks!”
University of South Carolina...the Game Cocks, wanna play with em?
I mean if you had managed to dwindle Sheogorath's health down to zero, he is marked as essential. So, he is actually immortal upon having 10m hitpoints.
Also, if you do hit him, you're scripted to die when you hit the ground. Even console commands can't save you.

Shooting the annoying ghost kid in Mass Effect 3 immediately gets you the bad ending.
Aren't all endings trash?
They patched that in later, as I recall, thanks to, ah, player behavior.
Bad ending? The next cycle beat the reapers and end the cycle. All 3 endings are technically ‘good’. All 4 endings end the Reaper cycle.
Every strategy sim like Stelaris I play has to have an Emperor Kyle now. Thanks Mike. Genuinely.
I was wondering what NPC you were going to go with in Skyrim. Going with the chicken caught me off guard, but that's classic.
Especially since i learned this lesson the hard way as I started Skyrim immediately after playing Fable 😅
Shouldn't have been chicken chasing
@midgeot Figured I'd get food (which I'd need for hp), or crafting mats. You know, standard video game stuff.
Oh boy, do Skyrim residents *really* like their chickens 😅😂
I spared Leofrith and still didn’t burn the scroll on purpose I desired a challenge, it made my hunt faster at least not much challenge >:3
I didn't kill the riverwood chicken.
But I did steal a cabbage ._.
My cabbages!
Jane quoting Pretty Woman wasn't something I was anticipating, but I'm all for it lol
How many people haven’t “accidentally” killed Nazeem?
I never even tried to kill a chicken. Ocarina of Time scared me straight on that. 😃
You do get a sweet trophy if you kill Ocelot tho. Worth the game over. (Course I also replay often)
Loved the shivering isles DLC, and yeah, spent a good deal of time seeing if there was a way to kill Sheogorath without pulling the kill scene.
This just made me want more Hitman videos from the team
I never knew that Mario's brother was a droid in a Star wars game - and even there he's a whipping boy if I believe this video
Accidentally killed the merchant on Resident Evil 4 for the Wii way back in the day right before you fight the kid boss. miserable.
That chicken was clearly the lookout/guard for the town.
In Skyrim, if you cast Fury on the chicken, the town will absolutely flip out and *everyone* in town will converge on it to make sure it dies immediately and with extreme prejudice. It makes me wonder what sort of massacre was caused by a chicken that the reaction is faster and far more murderous than a dragon attacking.
You included the chicken this time 😂. That's totally epic, thanks guys
i love that kyle has no reaction to the lightsaber. he just turns it on with a dead expression
So now that you told me where the hit scroll is I can kill Leofrith and still burn the scroll, thanks Jane!
I mean, you'd think that you'd just KNOW not to try attacking the Daedric prince of MADNESS in Oblivion, but I guess some players gotta fuck around and find out -- and hey, wait a minute. How do we know that chicken isn't Sheogorath in disguise in Skyrim? Making everyone love this one chicken that any adventurer might kill seems like his kind of fun.
It's technically just barely possible to get back to the light side after killing Weegee. I've done it before. I can't remember why.
I figured the Oblivion one would've been Lucien Lachance for the *brief* period in which he's killable right after you meet him.
Also, the infamous chicken killing is because there are no guards in Riverwood at the time so nobody to arrest you. It's another "bug" that became a "feature". They knew about it when the game was being shown off for the first time.
bug? you attacked an allied creature (of the townspeople) in sight of others and they turned hostile, whats broken about that? Skyrim has way too many other bugs to bother making new ones up to complain about!
The guards are sent there after Whiterun is informed about the dragon attack and it is one of the early full journey travels you probably get to follow.
3:10 Its even funnier if you’ve already killed all those who would have been your bounty hunters. Meaning burning the scroll was pointless.
I remember in Hitman Codename 47 there was the brother of the U’Wa tribe’s chief in the first Colombia level
While blindly answering from the storm of bullets coming from the game’s fog from the soldiers keeping him hostage on the bridge, I remember accidentally getting him and having to restart the level way too many times
Every time I see the Adoring Fan in Oblivion, I always remember this video I saw (I think it was by Mans1ay3r, but not too sure), there was a mod on and like 100s of copies of the adoring fan start falling out of this tower. But it had the song "It's Raining Men" while the bodies are falling all around. It makes me laugh until I cry just about every time lol.
In Majora's Mask, it is possible to kill the thief Sakon. On the first night when he robs the old lady of her bomb bag, normally you stop him by hitting him with your sword, causing him to drop the goods and run away. But if you instead shoot the bag full of bombs with an arrow, it explodes, killing him. Which is the worst possible outcome because it not only fails Kafei's questline because he can't track Sakon back to his lair, but also the old lady won't give you the bomb mask for helping her and you won't get the bigger bomb bag available for sale at the bomb shop since. You know. You blew it up. Good job, hero.
Majoras mask. Did you know there's a 4th day? Unlock it by beating the game. If you use cheats to manipulate time and you stay in town on the same day too long, the music will stop, background chatter will stop, and it makes the town feel empty.
In all my years of playing Skyrim I can't believe I'd never killed the chicken. I've killed everyone in that town multiple times... but never the chicken.
Tbf in unpatched Skyrim everyone must worship every chicken. Although they are also big snitches because if they see you kill anyone they'll use their chicken telepathy to alert every guard instantly.
I'm doing the fish stick. It's very delicate state of mind
Every single boss that you have the chance to show mercy to in Unicorn Overlord.
Here's a real classic for you: Izchak, the Candle Merchant in Nethack. He's named for Izchak Miller, one of the devs, who died of cancer in '94. While there are no in-game consequences for killing him (beyond the standard effects of killing any shopkeeper), it's considered *extremely* bad form to do so; even players doing self-imposed challenges to exterminate every monster in the game will generally leave him be, and those who kill him him by accident will often make public apologies and/or do various forms of self-imposed in-game penance.
Vari the white masked from elden ring, he cooks you at low levels and if he dies, you miss out on a few leveling spots until later on with a portal in the snowfields
16:17 We all did it. Every last one of us.
I did it because in Kingdom of Alimar: Reckoning, there was a kill count for how many chickens you killed.
The Merchant is a traveling vendor from Barovia in my D&D game.
Not sure if Oersted/Odio counts from Live A Live (as you play as him at one point) but if you kill him instead of sparing him, you lock yourself out of the best possible ending
7-8 hours on the MGS wiki? That's entirely too optimistic. Maybe with a crack team of MGS academics that might work, but otherwise that's impossible
When "Solid Snake" faces off "Snake Eater" ( Formally known as "Snake Beater" ) is another situation where it would be bad to put a bullet in the enemy's head.
That Jedi scene reminds me of a heartbreaking moment in SOMA. IYKYK
With star wars dark forces 2 on this list we need a list of star wars games that need a remake
I'd probably die laughing at Major Ocelot, with that posing.
That star wars game looks like it needs to be played by Andy and luke
There's also "Till Death Do Us Part" in Hitman: Blood Money.
The game tells you right at the start of that level that the bride is off limits, probably because she ordered the hit in the first place.
Ocelot can do whatever he wants... he trained DD so all will always be forgiven
Absolutely loved the Amazon Joke
The only person attacking the dragonborn without a weapon was the blacksmith. Ahhh Skyrim never change (or is it a Dark Souls reference...? feature not a bug)
Honorable mention to Lord British from Ultima 7: The Black Gate

Sheogorath is a cop-out answer.
This is a video about NPCs you can choose to kill, but shouldn't.
You cannot choose to kill Sheogorath. You cannot kill Sheogorath, therefore he does not belong in a list about characters you can kill, but shouldn't.
How about obvious plottwists that for some reason only the player knew about?

It's painfully obvious that Swaine is royalty but somehow no one catches on

Or how Zelda is obviously fake, and if the player could only tell all the NPCs that, a lot of trouble could be averted. You can have the master sword and the NPCs will be like: "You should get the master sword. Oh you already have that? Well then go find Zelda who has been causing the problems for all these races across Hyrule. What do you mean Zelda is a dragon?" Except that last part never happens, and the NPCs don't figure that out, but you know, if you've got all the memories unlocked.

huh i guess my swing at the Skyrim chicken must have missed. I totally took a swing at is at soon as i saw it. figured he was just unkillable.
So you're telling me I SHOULDN'T go on a rampage as a vampire lord killing everything that as much as breaths in my vicinity in skyrim?
No that would be ridiculous,
Install a mod where you can be a werebear and then you can punch everyone in Skyrim. 🐻
Yes, but only do it in Markarth and do it before the Cidna Mine quest. Then all will be forgiven by the Jarl.
Emperor Kyle. King Kyle of Elden Ring.
You pick attacking Sheogorath, which only forces you to reload, over killing Yagrum Bagarn, which means you can't finish the main quest?

Divayth Fyr. Even though that armour is extremely tempting.
YAY, you covered a game I know (and know well) for once! Jedi Knight! Wow, I usually try everything, it's what made me a great game tester (I was once complimented on being able to find the weirdest petty things), can't believe I never tried killing Weegee! I mean, I probably attacked him, but as you clearly shouldn't I probably figured after a few hits that he was immortal... I mostly don't like the dark side storyline because 1) Going dark means the end of Force Ghost Guidance and cutscenes, 2) You get a repeat boss fight, the first teen upstart, and 3) You miss a boss fight (that babe in the cutscene). I hate not killing ugnauts - those monkey guys you showed - because they're annoying, but I've found that how you allocate force powers makes the most impact. So, when I face the turning point guy (last boss on Disc 1 - or first on Disc 2? I forget. The no legs floating guy) I use cheats to give myself all powers, full upgrades, then before the end of the fight use the cheat for all darkside powers. So all light side powers are fully upgraded, but all dark side powers are at beginning level/1 star each. WAY more points on the light side, I end up on the light side. :)
