Many in the massive player base of Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim seem to have love/hate relationships with the NPCs that can be found in the game. Some love Skyrim NPCs too much, enough to make them their in-game wife or husband, while other players seem to enjoy finding the hilarious ways they can end an NPC's existence. Now, another player of the action RPG shows off the trick shot they executed that ended up killing Nazeem, another infamous Skyrim non-playable character.
Given how massive Tamriel's map is, players likely expect to meet different characters in the towns and cities that they journey through in Skyrim. Being one of the first NPCs players will encounter in Whiterun, Nazeem seems popular in the Skyrim community, especially with how high-and-mighty he acts towards the player's character whenever they meet. With this kind of personality, it is not surprising for Skyrim players to hate Nazeem enough to keep looking for entertaining ways to end the character.
On Reddit, user Xxrasierklinge7 shared a short video clip from a YouTube content creator named anyhelpsteve, who has posted many funny Skyrim moments on their channel. In the footage, the YouTuber's Dragonborn is seen doing a trick shot using their equipped bow. They aim towards the sky just as the NPC walks by. After a few seconds of following Nazeem, the arrow lands right on the top of the NPC's head, proving to be a fatal shot in the end.
Comments on both the original YouTube post and the Reddit thread found the video quite hilarious, given the impeccable timing the player had. Others tried to break down the amazing Skyrim trick shot, with one stating that the player likely used a function that was programmed to spawn an arrow when Nazeem started to say his spiel about the Cloud District. Whether contrived or not, seeing the whole situation line up perfectly probably provided the Skyrim community a good few minutes of entertainment for the day.
This is likely not the last time that the Skyrim player base will pick on one of the NPCs in the action RPG. The game has many other characters that players will encounter in their journey, some of them more dislikable than others. Given how active the community is despite the age of the video game, fans will probably see more of these trick shots and entertaining video clips featuring popular NPCs in the future.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
