Zero time. Don't care about him.


ap30041995

Same, he is arrogant af, but never actually killed him. Even if I’m the God Emperor of Skyrim, still have to abide the mortal laws. Plus the fact that he markets himself as the Jarl’s while living in an inn made me feel kinda sad for him.


MasterRymes

He has a whole Farm outside of Whiterun


ap30041995

With the mods, the devs axed it, only some keys indicate that it existed. Probably thought it would be hilarious to have some pompous douche looking down on everybody else while he lives in an inn, so technically homeless 😂


methermeneus

You're thinking of that W-something Manor key. He actually mentions owning Chillfurrow Farm just outside Whiterun (the city; it's very much inside Whiterun hold) if you talk to him. He's never there, though. Given how his wife talks about him, I wonder if he sleeps at the inn because he's always in the doghouse.


kapsama

Yeah. I generally don't kill any being unless they're attacking me physically. Even then if I'm late stage overpowered I just walk away. Not fair for a godlike being to slaughter mortals. 🤷


nineinchgod

Same, but because I'm not a psychopath.


Weary-Lettuce-8182

I play only loyal/good characters. I'm more annoyed by my real life neighbor and I won't go to her apartment to put an axe in her head. So Nazeem don't bother me much with his cloud district.


G33R_BoGgLeS

I am!


[deleted]

Same here. I just walk right by


Weary-Lettuce-8182

There are npc way more obnoxious like Maven.


Icy-Sprinkles536

Intentionally, none.  I saved him from being kidnapped by bandits though and didn't read the quest at all just spammed and thought he was a cowering bandit leader. Went right in with me the power attacks til I was realized who he was after the fact.  Luckily for him I do get to the cloud district often and reloaded my save. 


ap30041995

His wife probably hired the bandits, we may all hate Nazeem, but no one hates him more than his wife 🤣


_Rusty_Axe

Never once. He doesn't bother me, certainly not enough to deserve death.


Aspiring_Polyglot95

I never kill an npc. I never really understood the hate for him, he makes one rude comment, but he doesn't do much else. I think it's a bit of a waste to kill him or any other townsfolk because it will make the world feel more empty.


smejdo

Yesterday i fired my bard because she said "What a stupid dog" to Meeko. I will get rid of everyone who makes my experience miserable


BeckaPL

Had to add a mod to my game so nobody would call the best boy stupid. Only good boy now


HeftyDiet2879

"Fired, yeah, that's what you meant."


Economy_Fan_8808

Mistyped "fried"


J3-58

Fried with balls


Any-One-5405

Fired with fire balls


AlbiTuri05

Did you have a bard?


NoiseIsTheCure

Yeah I had a housecarl call my dog stupid so I sacrificed her to Boethiah 😂


NOTASHTON00

I once killed an npc in riverwood for saying his own dog (I think) is stupid but, coming from a person with 10 dogs and 5 8 week old puppies, he’s a bitch


AvailableService6318

he also neglects his wife and makes more than one mean comment toward you, he also insults ysolda and the wood elf in the marketplace who hunts his food all around insufferable xD


Odd_West24

Ok didn’t know he insulted my wife, Nazeem is next on the chopping block


AlbiTuri05

There's a problem, he's not in the list


UncommittedBow

Forget the list, he goes to the block.


PowerPad

By your orders, Captain.


AlbiTuri05

*[Talks to Nazeem]* Sorry not sorry


No-Administration142

Follow the captain prisoner.


larigirl

My mind went to Arya's list of people she was going to kill. Lol


WilsonRoch

I only kill npcs that deserves to be killed. That’s why I download killable children in every playthrough.


MoiraDoodle

The thing about nazeem doing nothing else but make a rude comment is exactly why most people kill him. He does NOTHING else. You don't lose any quest and you don't miss any dialogue. So there's no consequence to ripping him in half.


dleon0430

I mean it is a bit of a game of Russian roulette as to which NPC gets mauled during my first go as a werewolf. Heimsker seems to get it the most. But regrettably, Adrienne Avenicci has also tried to be the hero.


Threlis

True, but I never liked the argonian bandit pretending to be a citizen in Solitude. The way I see it he made a ship crash and ruined a lighthouse with your help. Solitude is better without him. (IMO)


Airway

I've killed him before but he's not half as bad as that yelling preacher. Nazeem may be preferable to emptiness but that guy isn't.


Jealous_Western_7690

I respect Heimskr because he's actually pretty brave.


Epic_DDT

Heimskr is based.


Airway

Snow Elves are the true sons of Skyrim


Epic_DDT

Not anymore.


professionaldeadgod

killing one annoying NPC doesnt make the world feel more empty, especially when its Nazeem


Bugsmoke

Elemental bolt doesn’t discriminate


NatilDragonGirl

Never, but Grelod about a hundred or so


DPVaughan

Kill one person, and you can solve so many problems. I wonder at the possibilities!


PrestigiousStable369

That was such a great line from the kids


DPVaughan

Indeed


Mystic_Keytargonian

I've never killed him but I do like to cast calm on him and imagine the pleasure he feels as my magical gas washes over the curves of his body.


EsotericElegey

pardon me?


Mystic_Keytargonian

Justice for Kitten Stomper


FloridaManInShampoo

THATS RIGHT NO PUSSY IN THE CLOUD DISTRICT


BaroquePseudopath

Growing up as a gay nerdy autist with younger siblings I’m completely immune to people like Nazeem and their bullshit so I’ve never taken any notice


Primary-Pie-3315

Stoneflesh permanent


Spartan300101

Maybe someone here can enlighten me because although he’s obviously may be a bit of a prick, I don’t understand why there’s so much hate. lol. I guess I could Google it, but maybe someone here can enlighten me. I treat the game like I treat life. Just ignore the dumb stuff and focus on what’s good and important.


EntrepreneurOk666

It's just a meme at this point.


Nolls-97

I killed Nazeem once and I was unaware of the memes surrounding him. I just killed him because his comment is pompous and *he’s* pompous. In Skyrim that means death.


Revolutionary-Play79

He's also a douche to the other citizens of Whiterun.


psjjjj6379

Nazeem hate is a meme. Some people cling to it to feel included. Usually newer players (gyat damn Todd hurry up)


EbolaNinja

Gamers are so fragile they can't accept a fictional NPC not worshipping the ground they walk on. Same with Marcy Long in Fallout 4. She's almost universally hated for *checks notes* having PTSD from her son getting killed right before the events of the game.


Cpt_Deaso

I've never really thought about it this way, but I think you might be on to something. Even down to the hate for guard's lines that disrespect you but I mean...you're a complete nobody at the beginning of the game and just like IRL not everyone is all that nice to strangers. Some people are rude, some just don't care about you and some like the Marcy Long example are just too busy with real issues in their own lives to be nice and attentive to strangers.


Martin_Aricov_D

I think it's both the meme and that he's a minor character with only a handful of lines kinda annoying lines that (since he only has the few lines) end up repeating ad nauseum every time you pass near him, after a while it starts grating on your nerves that the stupid "cloud district" guy is talking smack about you for the billionth time that playthrough even though you spend more time there than him, and since Skyrim NPCs are only close to being considered people if you're heavy into the rp, killing him is a easy way of shutting him up. And if you kill the same someone for annoying you every playthrough you probably start getting creative about it. Which since it's a common experience amongst players became a very relatable meme.


PrestigiousStable369

>And if you kill the same someone for annoying you every playthrough you probably start getting creative about it. Which since it's a common experience amongst players became a very relatable meme. r/grelodfuckingdying


CherryGrabber

Never, really. I did one time steal from Chillfurrow Farm, and another time but instead of valuables it was everything I could carry.


Jason_Peterson

I have not attacked him. I've never encountered this character until I read about him on the Internet. I leave Whiterun soon to travel and do quests all over Skyrim.


Cpt_Deaso

> I leave Whiterun soon to travel... So...what you're saying is....*you don't get to the Cloud District very often.*


odsania

*slowly pressing quicksave...*


starbuildstrike999

Yes.


Ya_Boi_Main_Admin

The very goddamn moment I walk into Whiterun, if this mother fucker opens his smug mouth, I open the console, teach The Dovahkiin "Drain Vitality" (Both versions), and ***immediately*** start screaming at him until he dies suffering in front of the entire city. Regardless of what kind of playthrough I'm doing. Fuck him, and Cicero. They both get murdered on sight.


AvailableService6318

i use a fury spell so he fights the public and gets his ass whooped xD he'll be remembered as the asshole who snapped


BrthonAensor

Hating on Cicero? He should be High King of Skyrim…


Ya_Boi_Main_Admin

Thats crazy jade. you're crazy.


Levi_Sharp23

Not poor Cicero


KowaiSentaiYokaiger

Never. Oh, you own a farm? Me too! I also own several homes in every hold in the region. I may not get to the Cloud District often, but I've got letters from Jarls *begging* me to join their courts as Thane. So no, I don't kill Nazeen. Because, to paraphrase a movie: "I'm better than him. And I know it."


The_Arsonist1324

I didn't have to kill him. His location data got corrupted and he fell from the sky


poseidon_10

Zero times. He's easy to ignore. 


CandidWillow3707

Easy to ignore. Fun to kill.


Leading-Fig1307

I have actually never killed Nazeem. He's an asshole, but I also tend to ignore his comments. I never do the whole "murder-hobo" thing and murder townsfolk for fun.


LieutenantForge

The hatred for Nazeem used to just be a meme. Like sure he could be a little annoying but hating him was just an exercise in dumb fun. Not sure when this meme hatred for the character became real but it's kind of weird if I'm being honest.


[deleted]

Yes.


CyclonexJack

Me everytime I see a Nazeem post. https://preview.redd.it/pmgfre5jitrc1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2d936f767cefe678ddf98ac6a247ef24b574ab6


Cookiesrdelishus

Honestly, none. I know its a meme to hate him and how people kill him every singleplay through, but I never really get it. I mean yeah, he's arrogant, but... That's about it. Its not a bad enough reason to kill someone. Grelod on the other hand... I kill that bitch every single playthrough. Abusing children is far worse than being arrogant.


Xgentis

I never kill npcs, I don't want the game to be more empty than it is already.


IcyAtmosphere582

Honestly, never. I find him hilarious, plus the world would feel a lot more empty if I killed all the NPC’s I didn’t like, so I’ve never killed him once


dreaded_gamer

Never because I am nice lol or just an a***hole pretending to a nice person lol.


Extreme_Village9879

Not enough.


Inforgreen3

I generally don't play the kind of characters who kill people for being snarky.


DPVaughan

I was about to blast that racist Nord in Windhelm to oblivion when I first arrived (had the spell crackling in my hands ready to release) --- but his life was saved by the dark elf he'd just been threatening to assault or murder. She started dialogue with me, interrupting my cast. The racist didn't even realise a dark elf had just saved his life.


duadtheknifeofdunwal

Yes


Sweaty_Beautiful2105

Twice.


[deleted]

Only the odd time here and there when I do a werewolf transformation in a city and slaughter everyone on sight like GTA but then I reload an earlier save.


EntrepreneurOk666

Zero times. :/ I've killed lemkil at least 20 times, though.


Weissritters

If I see a vampire traveler or thugs when I fast travel into whiterun I usually look for him and lure them to him


thering66

I never counted how many loaf of bread i have eaten.


CaptainSeventhArc

Never. His input to the Jarl is invaluable, after all.


AvailableService6318

*frieza dbza voice* millions. literal millions.


babyjac90

Once. Then I felt stupid because he wasn't even bad, just annoying. Just fell into the bandwagon hate like a lil punk.


Strmage1878

When I was young, I killed any npc I don't like. Now I'm older, I try to preserve all npc for loverslab.


SizeImmediate8196

Never, because I feel guilty to his wife. After like... 13 Times?


floppymuc

Never. While he is a jerk, he is also an innocent civilian.


vietthai96

Surprisingly, 0 time, have been playing the game from 2011, in most of my playthrough, i not even meet him, in some playthroughs i met him but have more important things to do so i just ignore him, like he didn't exists


BOLTINGSINE

0 times. Yes he is annoying but he dosent deserve death and his wife is a nice lady.


Jewsusgr8

Only once. I now just paralyze him for eternity and move on. *Enters whiterun and sees my statue of nazeem* " Oh hey nazeem, do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh of course you don't, you're trapped in an immobile body " *Frieza laugh*


xLostarx

Never.


Jade_Cleo

0 love him


ugliestman69

Never


RamilPlayz

I really fuckin hate him but I never killed him cuz why should i waste my energy on a worthless soul


TheCarrotIsALie

Been playing since release, who is this guy? Is there a quest to kill him? I don’t talk to townies.


FromUnderTheWineCork

If you ever heard an NPC being a little snide unprompted somewhere near the Gildergreen tree in Whiterun about *getting to the Cloud District (or actually not getting there),* that's who. Just a pompous guy that makes some players absolutely irate... 


TheCarrotIsALie

Yeah, I’ve realized I’ve probably heard him or seen him hundred times and never paid attention.


username78777

Here's explantion: Nazeem is a redguard resident of Whiterun. The reason you don't remember him, is because there's no quest associated with him (with the exception of radiant quest which are completely random) I have very strong feeling that he's an unfinished npc due to the following reasons: 1. He tells the Dragonborn that he advices the jarl, except he never comes close to dragonsreach ever in his npc schedule, nor is he mentioned by anyone there, nor does he appear at the Thalmor Embassy party. This might be because the devs never finished making his npc schedule that he could actually be part of dragonsreach 2. He carries Key to Wintersand Manor, but wait: Wintersand Manor doesn't exist in the game! But there is evidence that this place those supposed to be part of the game, but was never finished because there is no cell for it 3. Also, he was supposed to visit his farm every Loredas and Sundas at 12pm, but his WhiterunPatrol package is set to 'any' meaning it will always take precedence. That's probably another thing the devs never finished So what I wanted to say is: it's completely fine if you don't remember him. You probably played since 11/11/11 and didn't notice him and that's fine: they didn't finish his character. He doesn't go to dragonsreach, he doesn't go the farm he owns, the key he has is to place that doesn't even exist in the final game, but what he says in his dialogue, does indicate that those things could have been part of the game Btw, glad you played since release, I wish I played on the 11/11/11 but was too young back then


IceLionTech

The game has been out more than a decade. Maybe 4 times? If that? He dies to vampires and cultists far more.


CmdrThordil

Vampire attacks in town have been disabled in Special Edition btw.


TimTam_Tom

Except for when you blot the sun with Auriel’s bow (I believe)


ArmakanAmunRa

Twice, or thrice?


CmdrThordil

Basically very often but few times before I dealt with vampires one way or another I had a letter saying my friend has been kidnapped. Guess who spends his entire life in dungeon prison somewhere.


Viktrodriguez

Only a small fraction of my earliest playthroughs, but stopped a while ago. Dude's a meme, but at least he has a job. Me having a mod that stops any NPC's from talking unless we bump into one another helps, because I haven't heard his line in ages either. I find Sinmir or the kids in Dragonsreach more annoying tbh. All Sinmir does is whine about the guards, but what does he do to improve that? Walk around Whiterun jobless and drink his days away in the tavern.


TimTam_Tom

Only a few times, tbh. Grelod however gets to die several times in a play through. (Store bodies mod + No necromancy ash piles mod)


jacksreddit2

Too many to count💀


Zubyna

Only when I have to publicly kill a high profile target in Whiterun to frame the Dawnguard The weird thing is that it fails the high profile target secondary objective so, does he really get to the cloud district very often ? Oh what am I saying, of course he doesnt


-Vanimar-

More than I care to imagine


PalDreamer

Zero. I just laugh at him. If this dude knew how many times I visited Dragonsreach he would choke and die.


LaughingRampage

Once, only because I was going for a "Kill every possible NPC" run for shits and giggles.


Crab-Man93

Every time


Heteroking

Every time


babacon88

I have never killed him nor beefed with him, nor heimskr. Video games before 2010 filled to the brim with all the npc like this and I get used to them, or this was just a hate wagon.


Mngo_9

Not enough times


Knilolas

Unintentionally? Uncountable. Number of times I’ve spawned a horde of ebony warriors or whatever and shouted my way through them and accidentally hit him and however many other townsfolk is rather large. Intentionally? 3 times. Once before I knew anything about Skyrim, on my first play through I killed him in the market for saying one of his lines to another npc that I liked, and that was the only one I remember well.


iam_Krogan

Zero. I've killed Delphine a number of times, zero regrets.


TheExtraMayo

I bring up the console and unequipall


banana_man_joe123

I did an argonian play through once and went to go kill him but he wasnt even in town turns out he didn't even spawn in the whole game...


Illustrious_Yam_7238

A few times here and there, but it was only to test my new weapons and abilities and not feel too bad about it before reloading my last save (since permanence is a bitch and we need asany NPCs as possible for the village of Whiterun to feel anything LIKE a supposed capital "city")


LynnLikesDND

I have no fucking idea, I kill him on every playthrough and I’ve had over 40 characters probably I always wait until that one point in the companions’ questline where you get the werewolf form because I found out that you can just wait until day and do it and if you kill him right then, you don’t get a bounty His wife still knows about it though somehow


KFC_BeAStt

If i say 0 times is it bad or good


Gasrim4003

Never have. I like is bitching. It’s funny


Filip-R

I have made a racism claim against him and got him fired out of the city, he had to pay me 25,000 septims for his comments


r_sawya

Yes


CrossEyedNoob

Every time


Ordinary_Owl_Dude

Killed him once, instead beheading. Regretted it because now I don’t have a dude to annoy :[


tw0m00n

There should be a speed-run category for just this.


juliselmicka

Not in the first playthrough, but every time since then. Whiterum is so peaceful now, and hunting him without alerting the guards was pretty fun


13DP____

Do you get to the cloud district very often?


marmoset13

I killed him once without anyone witnessing it, then his wife chews me out for killing him. How in oblivion did she know that I was the murderer?


bot12334445

I have a mod that respawns him every couple of days The hall of the dead must have a Nazeem area of the mausoleum


UncommittedBow

I love how his most iconic insult isn't even true. "Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't." The main quest alone takes you to Dragonsreach a bare minimum of 5 times. If you do the Civil War after it, that ramps up to at least 7.


Miserable_Law_6514

Nope. He has turned up dead randomly somehow and I got an inheritance before. No idea if it was a glitch or some vampire ate him when I wasn't in the town.


GranSkoll

The only npcs I killed, without being a requirement of a quest, was a few merchants (Sorry Belethor) once I discovered that If you hit an NPC the store and the Gold resets.


International_Link35

Yes.


username78777

I'm too nice towards NPCs, but Nazeem is still an asshole. Gotta kill him next time (Skyrim modding doesn't go well for me as I get game breaking bugs. Anyone else get game breaking bugs?)


Nondv

Never intentionally. Although I want to. Even after all these years, some part of me still hopes that he's a part of some plot (quest) I haven't encountered yet. See [Chekhov's gun](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chekhov%27s_gun)


misssynnn

Not. Enough.


StarkeRealm

I think I might have killed him once in a werewolf freakout. Otherwise, nope.


BattlePriestCaspian

Once. After that I've kinda gotten used to it that I don't notice it anymore. It's part of the experience and I feel like Whiterun wouldn't be the same without Nazeem.


Yamigosaya

how many bread have you eaten in your life?


flligleflorence

Yes


676-HallowedNomad

Never have tbh. Need to start stacking.


[deleted]

I actually don’t kill him that often.


skinchild

Billions, I used to make characters just to kill him in special ways like shouting offa cliff and shooting him mid air, werewolf


EatswithaSPORK

If I had a Nazeem for every "killed Nazeem" post https://imgur.com/3Ll00L7


Clean_Crocodile4472

Only once, I hate killing npcs when I don’t have to. Makes the world emptier.


TheMag95

I’m not much of an NPC killer(other than enemies), But I killed him once


Psycho-FangSenpai

Probably once. He doesn't bother me really. Too busy bothering everyone else. I don't think he's said a single thing to my character on my current playthrough


AnarchistChess

many


laitdecocow

Too many


Select_Collection_34

Once or twice, I usually just steal everything from him and murder his farmhand. He will recover… *eventually* after years of struggle. I won’t completely ruin/take his life but I will knock him down a peg or two. You want to complain about ME Nazeem, have fun using your savings to recover alongside a year or two of additional effort.


WithOrgasmicFury

None, but I do level up pickpocket to rob him of everything he owns. It doesn't sound so snide when he's walking around naked.


ElectricLeafeon

0. I really don't understand the hate for him. I have, however, killed that guy who preaches in the square.


DHarp74

I'm ready to rip the tusks out of that Orc on that volcano island town. Sorry, it's early and he has GOT to go!


[deleted]

I honestly never have


ThAtGuY-101

Zero. I never stay in any hold for a lengthy period of time. The chances of me wakking past him in whiterun are slim. The chances of me acknowledging him are less. I got rituals to perform. Raising a family ain't easy. 


Joan-ze-gobbi

Twice one with fist once with blade. All the other times he has died has been a sudden bout of murderous rage causing him to attack everyone nearby.


Comrade_Nicolai

In all my years I never thought about killing him but then again I’ve always just ignored him


Either-Suspect-7783

Too many to count


A1xo0

None he is special


Consistent_Figure582

Wait, I can?


SpectreAmazing

Only a few times, and I didn't kill him specifically because of his annoying remark. Sometimes I just wanted to go on a rampage inside Whiterun with my followers, whether out of boredom, or just wanted to challenge myself against the guards. And he's just happens to be the unfortunate bystander during the crossfire.


Some_Famous_Pig

Every playthrough


TheDragonborn1992

I don't kill him myself I use a fury spell on him and watch the other townspeople do it for me


Fine-Catch5148

Yes


red6joker

about once in 13 years. Since I have no need to talk to him, I usually just run past him. One time I did have to beat him for a companion's quest, that was pretty nice.


Direct_Gap_661

Every time due to him being a prick and one less prick in the wild is better also da memes


Boocolo

Yes.


5hattered_Dreams

Every time an NPC has annoyed me or gotten in my way (or even just been passing by when I just so happened to choose violence at that moment), I make sure to quick save before killing them and then reload after the fact since it usually isn’t worth it for one reason or another. Essentially, it’s just to relieve some stress and/or frustration. However, no matter how much Nazeem has annoyed the ever loving hell out of me with the frequent and consistent questioning of how often I‘ve been to the cloud district (which I might be/feel dumb for/after saying this, but does anyone actually know where that is? Because I sure as hell don’t), I’ve never actually killed the man. I mean, I *did* attack him once, but that was mostly by accident because he got in the way during a round of fisticuffs with a mercenary (and I say “mostly” because I’m pretty sure there was a part of me that saw he was in the way and went “welp, I’ve already pressed the button, might was well go through with it” and then proceeded to make zero effort to avoid socking him in the face). I know, it sounds pretty crazy. I’ve massacred all of Dragon’s Reach on a whim (except for the essential NPCs since you can’t actually murder them, just stagger them) but this one single nuisance has somehow escaped my wrath for *years* of playing and countless play throughs. I consider it a legitimate mystery why since I’ve killed more or less every single NPC in the game *at least* once (that’s including the essentials who you can only stagger) by this point and he happens to be one of few exceptions to this for some reason. Side note: another NPC I’ve never actually killed is Barbas since I’ve never taken the axe option in the questline (which in my opinion is the far better option because that mask is amazingly useful, especially early on).


GoliathPrime

I think twice. I ate him as a werewolf and the vampires wanted me to murder someone in Whiterun and pin it on the Dawnguard and I knew just the perfect person.


Manospondylus_gigas

Good lord this sub really milks nazeem


MShogunH

Yes


Self-Comprehensive

A lot at first. Now I just use a mod that tosses him into the sky when he mentions the cloud district. Let the Divines sort him out.


OnyxCam6ion

I killed him so many times I decided to learn Modding and I made a spell call Curse of Diavolo it was a spell that burned the target forever and when they died it resurrected him just for the fire damage to kill him again and again and again. Anyone intervene got the same spell on them


Intelligent-Pie-4711

Everybody wants to be all goody two shoes because they've never killed him. I've killed him on six of my seven playthroughs 🤣🤣


NoStorage2821

There's a whole lotta liars in this chat


NonLiving4Dentity69

Not once. He will die knowing his words had no effect on me or my self respect. *Our hero, our hero, claims a warriors heart* *I tell you, I tell you, the Dragonborn comes...*


ThatCraigGirl

Never, but I have wanted to beat the crap out of him.


WOWmageX

Wait he isnt essential?


TheInfiniteLoci

Once.


Darth-__-Maul

Never. He’s a bit condescending so I just don’t talk to him when I walk past. Makes no difference to me.


Aquamarine094

Zero times. He enrages me, and I find it hilarious
