Alval Uvani has a rather low responsibility, and since he does a lot of traveling (see the Dark Brotherhood mission A Matter of Honor for details) it's rather easy to dispose of him on the road without witnesses. They both respawn in a few days, as well. If you attack one of them before he attacked you, killing him is counted as a murder, and will allow you to join the Dark Brotherhood. Camonna Tong Thug: Killing one of the two Camonna Tong thugs at Walker camp will give you no bounty, as they both have low responsibility. The Skooma Den in Bravil has 4 residents, 3 with 0 responsibility, so your crime will likely go unreported.
I've listed a few of the best targets below: If an NPC is involved in a quest you haven't completed, you won't be able to kill them.) If you are looking for a specific set of targets, the wiki has a list of them. (Note that unlike in Morrowind, Oblivion's predecessor, you cannot kill an essential NPC, so you don't have to worry about killing the 'wrong' person. Once the deed is done, regardless of who is there, the cryptic message 'Your killing has been observed by forces unknown.' will appear in the corner of your screen, indicating you will be visited the next time you sleep.īasically any non-essential NPC will do. In other words, you must murder an innocent without provocation (note that Bandits and the like do not count as the required murder).
