After 5,400 dead NPCs and a 267,000-gold bounty, Skyrim player claims that they've "killed everything that was killable"

But is everything actually dead?

OneSkyrimplayer has allegedly killed everything that was killable in Bethesda’s grand RPG, more than a decade and multiple re-releases after it first launched.

Commenters were split between being thoroughly impressed (“Congratulations! You are the true world-eater”) and making jokes. “All that’s left now is your character,” quipped one player. Others noticed that the player’s favorite weapon was Dawnbreaker, a weapon given to players to strike down evil, making the bloodshed somewhat ironic.

There’s also one big logistical problem: how does a player even move around Skyrim with an impossibly large bounty? The answer, apparently, is that guards “can’t arrest you if they’re dead.”

Skyrim also doesn’t have a total enemy counter, so it’s impossible to verify whether more killables are running about the open word. But when compared to a similar Reddit post from three years ago, Amelix34’s claim stacks up.

More than a decade after its debut, the landmark game is still spawning fun community-driven challenges. One other playerspent 20,000 gold buying up every food item in the game, only to binge it all in one sitting and explosively die. (Sounds like a Christmas dinner.) Another broke various Bethesda RPGs byspawning in countless cheese barrels just for the pure giggles. I, personally, can’t wait for many more years of silly shenanigans in Skyrim.
