I wish characters being marked as essential in Bethesda games were optional

[StaceyPowers]

Does anyone else get frustrated with characters marked as essential in Bethesda games? I get doing it temporarily until certain quests are finished, but some never lose that status, and I just want to kill them so badly (*cough*Delphine). Plus, sometimes I don’t care about the quest. I just want to kill so-and-so.

Well we do have mods for that in Skyrim and Oblivion but I get what you mean - Nazeem... I also hate how easily most of these npcs die in my modded Skyrim game especially during dragon attacks (to be fair, the dragons in my game are easily 20 times stronger than the default dragons so they're like mini bosses).
