Does anyone else get overly involved with protecting NPCs?

My friend recently was telling me how he ended up spending most of his time in Skyrim at one point protecting orcs from dragons as well as looking after Vigilance.

I also tend to be obsessive about looking after NPCs, often to the point of ludicrous inconvenience. The worst for me is returning to my house and re-doing it repeatedly in Skyrim so that I can manage to prevent the giants or bandits or wolves from killing any of my chickens (I will never buy chickens for my future houses again).

Does anybody else do this?

Screw NPC's. If I can't kill them myself, then I tend to ignore them. Or if I'm bored, I push them into a situation that is going to get them killed. The only time I bother to offer even the slightest bit of protection to an NPC is if it's a required part of a mission. If it doesn't matter after that, then I go back and kill them for being a pain in the ass.

I can relate to that. Nothing more annoying than an escort mission with a useless NPC that does nothing but drive a person crazy until they are delivered to their destination. What really sucks is when the game doesn’t allow you to kill them later.
