Arrogant Bandits. ;)

Black Weasel here, back with more hilarity. So basically I was wondering how you all feel about bandits being arrogant and saying... stuff.. So I made a poll.

I love to revive them and kill them again. Sometimes if they really give me attitude and I'm in a bad mood I use dead thrall and kill them over and over and over and over again until they learn their lessons. It's funny to hear them say "thank you" or "free at last" when I kill them and then do an evil laugh and say "not yet you fool"

When I find an annoying individual I always, after their death, place their corpse into a shameful position or throw the body at a place that no one will be able to find. Sometimes I put their corpses into fireplaces or throw them in lakes/rivers.

If I have a powerful Necromancer spell then I use it on them, too. But that's not a popular option.

Sorry. I was not aware that there were any pacifistic skyrim players.. I guess that option would be calm them and walk away? :mrgreen:

I don't bother to talk to them. I like to find them, sneak up and slice their throats. I never tire of that cut scene. I will re-visit know bandit areas that I have previously cleaned, just so I can trigger the cut scene.

I like to toy with bandits. A little bit of fear spell goes a long way, then you hunt them down like the lowly cowards they are. So much fun slicing them or burning them while they scream in agony.

Offer them amnesty, forty acres, and a mule, in return for a promise to take up a peaceful life of farming, while paying a larger-than-average crop tax of 15% for five years to pay their debt to society.

Show up in the middle of the night with hold troops a few months later, clap them in irons and cart them off to the Markarth silver mines.

That only invites the possibilty that they'll spit nine from the LeMat before they bleed out from an half-dozen .30 caliber lung shots.

I like the cast calm and fus ro dah, haha. However, the Killing them after you reanimating them sounds very tempting.

I like to either;
• Walk up to them so they turn hostile, then start walking away while my permanent atronachs (flame- & frost thrall) deals with them.
• Same as above, but replace the atronachs with two dremora lords.

Like the pacifist way, the fun part is to do all of it while walking calmly. :mrgreen:

Well, bandits and Thalmor don't differ much in arrogancy so I deal with them anyway I want. My favourite: Burn them, finish them off with a smack to the skull (with a mace or warhammer), raise them, Stabby McStab, and right before they are dead, Fus Ro Dah them somewhere (preferably off a cliff).

There's no "Boil 'em. Mash 'em. Stick 'em in a stew..." option in the poll.
Many a Bosmer is disappointed.
