A Skyrim player has tried to kill everyone in the game.
"It is finished," redditor jaeinskyrim declared (thanks, PCGamesN). "2201 people/NPCs, plus over 2400 more various creatures. All gone. I am alone in Skyrim."
It was a monumental task. Bethesda's open-world fantasy adventure is huge and packed with NPCs - people, animals, creatures, undead, daedra, automatons... they all fell by the wayside amid jaeinskyrim's murderous rampage. They enlisted the help of a long list of mods, including Kill 'em All and Death Awaits Us All, which let you circumvent what are called "essential" NPCs, but generic characters may respawn.
