There are two videos despite my best efforts that I can't seem to find, and I don't think they were in this thread yet. One was a GTA4 (I think) video with Kim Jong Il or something in a car flying around saying 'hello' over and over. The other was a Skyrim video of an animal corpse that I think the guy Fus Ro Dahs and it flies up into the clouds with some chintzy music playing and flies back around a couple times. For the life of me I cannot find them on youtube or google please help. :shobon:

It's Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield (also known as The Exorcist Theme), but it's not the original. I don't know what version it is, but it's definitely Tubular Bells.

I think it is the original version, actually, from the original album Mike Oldfield made when he was 19. The version in The Exorcist is a re-recording.

This one is about a semitone higher, but it's the same song.

When you pull this guy out of the water it is supposed to trigger a cut scene where he walks up the beach and croaks. You can prolong his life, and your game, by picking him up just as it starts. The game waits for him to make it to the end of his walking path for the scene to end, so you are "soft locked." forced to either watch this happen forever or reset, losing your progress.

Louis Letrush is probably the single most bugged NPC in video game history, and I love him for it. Him and his shenanigans are just littered around various threads on this forum, messing with people's Skyrim playthroughs like some kind of hosed up glitch spectre.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I remember reading that it has to do with the fact that there are actually THREE different Louis Letrush NPCs, which they used as the various ways to resolve his questline. In my case, he tried to kill me when I returned his horse but he was flagged as essential so I couldn't just kill him and when I tried to calm him down via the console he just got all pissed off that I was trying to return his horse.

Generally speaking, they flagged way, WAY too many NPCs as essential. It seems they were deathly afraid you might fail a quest

I kind of miss the days of Morrowind, where even if you killed someone vital to the main quest, there was still had a different way to do it. I'd imagine they don't have it the same way because of all the voice acting and scripting making it harder to have that much alternate ways to do things.

Morrowind also gave you a message about breaking the prophecy if you killed someone that broke the main quest.

There's quest in Dawnguard where you have to go kill someone in a random city, in public. There's a bonus objective if they're a high profile target. Trying to find someone who was high profile and not essential proved to be quite difficult.

Also for bonus annoyance, it had to be outside so basically the entirety of the Jarl's court is off limits since they never leave the palace.

Bit it didn't necessarily ruin the main quest either, as long as you didn't kill the Fyr guy, you could still do a workaround quest to finish the game.

Sometimes Louis is killable, sometimes not. I guess it just depends on which version of him you get. The weird thing is a lot of quest-related NPCs aren't marked as essential, while some "background" NPCs that do basically nothing are. For example there's some guy in Windhelm whose only real purpose is to stand around saying racist poo poo about dark elves and brawl with you once for 200 gold. But you can't kill him. :psyduck:

This was also a problem when I got the Dawnguard DLC. Bethesda decided it was a good idea to make most merchants non-essential and place them merchants next to the front gates of cities. Which also just happens to be the spot where random vampire attacks spawn. The only way to avoid it is to side with the vampires, which is just annoying.

I dunno if this is that they're worried that the player might kill NPCs who are important to THEIR ARTISTIC VISION so much as it is, "we'd better make all the quest-relevant NPCs invincible because what if the player brushes a fruit stand in Whiterun and accidentally railguns an apple into a Jarl?"

I wouldn't mind that much even if that really was their intent. I'm all for increased player agency but while I remember being really annoyed that I couldn't kill the Thieves Guild members, I was eventually really glad of it after begrudgingly playing through their awesome questline. Either way, I guess it's entirely up to trust in their established record, for good or ill.

You can't win it if you kill Yagrum Bagarn either; you need him to either translate the books or to fix the Dwemer Artifact you get if you kill Vivec instead of talking to him to get Wraithguard. Also if you kill YB then Divayth Fyr will be too pissed off at you to cure your corprus, dead or alive.

Can you still beat it if you kill one of the Ashlander wise women/chiefs before you're named their leader?

You can beat the game without obtaining the Wraithguard at all, it's just pretty tricky without some most likely unintended exploits.


Edit: The fact that you could break Morrowind over your knee and become some sort of magic god was part of its charm, in my opinion.

This, a thousand times. I wish more games had the courage to give you the freedom to break it. Tricks like sniping The End while he's in his wheelchair so he's not a boss later, making the dangerous "reverse path" run to Darkroot basin via the Valley of the Drakes in :darksouls: or juicing your way to being a demigod for ten seconds in Morrowind... that's what I want more of in single-player games.

If you side with the vampires then the Dawnguard will show up and attack you, which will cause everyone to be hostile towards them, so it's basically the same thing on the other side.

Also random vampire attacks still happen even if you're a vampire.
