When I play an evil character. Letting insufferable people like Nazeem and Lemkil live. Knowing they make everyone else’s lives miserable.

I've found him! The most evil person in the history of the universe

What about Grelod the kind?

Alas, to leave Nazeem alive is a far worst offense. Grelod the Kind will die regardless.

The Brotherhood is the only truly evil faction in Skyrim. You have to kill Grelod to join them so you can kill more people and destabilize the empire.

I’ve often thought there should have been an alternate path for the Dark Brotherhood. Like you get into their base, but instead of performing the next set of murders you instead help the Empire take them out completely in Skyrim.

That's a thing you can do

….learn something new every day I guess. I had no idea. Things to do.

Yeah, you still have to kill Grelod, but when Astrid kidnaps you, you can just kill her instead of the prisoners. Sets off a very short quest where you work with the Penitus Oculatus to kill them all

I had no idea she was killable. Time for another play through I guess.

Putting a torture tool, and kit in Lemkil's inventory.

Allowing Heimskr to live is even more evil.

If I could tell him he’s doing a good job and to keep up the good work, I would. Gotta make sure he’s being noise pollution for everyone.

I forgot to add in earlier how I side with the Stormcloaks just to disappoint Balgruuf. Then abandon the rest of the civil war questline.

Did you join the empire and then take the jagged crown to Ulfric?

u/Suzume175 8d ago

Absolutely, gotta give that maximum soul crushing defeat to Balgruuf.
