✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives you total freedom to kill anyone, which is great for roleplaying or revenge runs
- Simple concept, no extra files or dependencies to mess with
- Community-tested with 123 endorsements, so it's proven to work for many players
⚠️ Cons
- Will definitely break quests and storylines if you kill the wrong NPC, so save often
- Last updated in 2008, so it may not be compatible with newer game versions or DLCs
- No documentation on which NPCs are safe to kill, so you're flying blind
For players who want a more lethal world where no one is safe, and who enjoy the chaos of unintended consequences. Skip if you're a completionist or prefer to keep questlines intact.
