9 Video Game NPCs Everyone Wished They Could Kill

Video games are a fantastic medium to allow us to sink into expansive digital worlds, roleplay characters in unique circumstances we could only imagine and meet memorable characters along the way. Of course, just because they’re memorable doesn’t mean we don’t want to stick a hot poker in them.

Probably best to head off at the pass that we do have women, children, and the elderly on this list but we will not be using Titanic rules here; everybody is fair game because they’re voice acted pixels and super annoying voice acted pixels at that so if they fit the list, they’re going on the list.

All that to say, if we do miss out on a totally kill-worthy NPC that you need to vent about, all you need to do is roll by that comment section.

There are so many characters in The Elder Scrolls games that we want to kill but luckily for us most of them are totally killable. You know who isn’t? Braith.

When I was thinking about NPCs for this list my eyes shot open before I fell asleep and I uttered a single word: “Braith”. True story. Because that little kid sucks.

Rolling around Whiterun hassling people, especially this other little kid called Lars Battle-Born, Braith is just a bully. I’m not getting into her parents being distracted or her secret crush on Lars being the cause of her abusing him because I will give no quarter to this little snot-nosed, antagonistic brat and her threatening ways. Lars literally begs her not to hit him when she sets off to shake him down which is her daily routine. She’s rude and obnoxious, even to you, but like all Skyrim children, she can’t be harmed.

Well, she can’t be physically harmed by you. You can kill her parents so she has to go to the orphanage. But you didn’t get that idea from me.
