It's been nearly eleven years since The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim was released. Since then, the game has added DLC, some technical fixes, and has been re-released over and over again. One thing that has remained clear about Skyrim, however, is that the fandom for the Bethesda game remains strong.
It isn't entirely clear how long gamers will have to wait before Bethesda releases the franchise's next installment, The Elder Scrolls 6. Currently, the developer seems to be putting all of its efforts into Starfield, but Elder Scrolls fans have been keeping themselves entertained with Skyrim's various quirks. While some fans have kept themselves occupied by cataloging the game's various glitches, others are keeping themselves entertained by killing NPCs. One player, for example, is killing Nazeem in Skyrim every day until the next installment is released. Other players, on the other hand are finding new and creative ways to kill other NPCs.
In one example, a player killed an NPC in Skyrim by dropping a bunch of weapons on her head. In a more recent post, a Reddit user by the name of Proxifur shared a rather creative and unexpected kill in the game. Their clip shows the player character in what appears to be a fortress at night zeroing in on two NPCs. Proxifur then grabs a nearby sweet roll with telekinesis and throws it at one of the NPCs, hitting her head and, surprisingly enough, killing her instantly.
Bizarre kills like these are very common throughout the online community and players will often share these in various forums. In one instance a player was able to kill a Skyrim NPC with a wheelbarrow of all things thanks to the game's wacky physics. In other instances players have been able to get NPCs to kill other NPCs thanks to some quick footwork, the game's physics, possibly a few bugs, and a some spells. Other players, however, have managed to find more practical yet creative ways to kill enemies throughout the game.
Skyrim is a game that is loaded with an endless number of dungeons that all contain deadly traps that usually involve spikes. During one player's journey through one of these dungeons, they got into a fight with a Draugr Scourge and ultimately took the Skyrim enemy down by tricking them into triggering their own traps. None of these, however, quite matches the originality and downright baffling novelty that comes with a player killing someone with a sweet roll.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
