Skyrim Player Uses Trick Shot to Kill Whiterun’s Priest Heimskr

gamerant.com:

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has been in the gaming sphere for well over a decade now, but it's still pulling in the players. In fact, there are many who look at Bethesda's 2011 epic RPG with nostalgic eyes, remembering the first time they saw that open cutscene or that first fight with a dragon. However, over the years, it seems that many are eagerly awaiting the next installment, so in the meantime, players are keeping themselves amused in a number of ways.

One of those ways is through murder. Take Reddit user ToTheSovngardeAndBac, who recently decided that they'd had enough of one particular Skyrim NPC, namely Heimskr of Whiterun. In a recent clip, the player can be seen standing some distance from the loud priest and then firing an arrow high into the air. Upon approaching the public speaker, the user stands still for a few seconds, and before Heimskr can finish their spiel, said arrow comes hurtling down to the ground, killing them instantly.

For those who are perhaps less familiar with the game, Heimskr is one of the most annoying characters within Skyrim. His loud ramblings in the street have caused some headaches over the years, it seems. However, not everyone would agree with this sentiment. A few people commenting in the Reddit thread do feel sorry for the priest, adding that they don't find him particularly irksome. In fact, one person even said that they actually quite like him, enjoying his preaching as they make their way through the city.

This is also not the first time ToTheSovngardeAndBac has pulled off a trick shot like this. Recently, they also showed a video of them killing Skyrim's Nazeem NPC with a high arrow, similarly to this current example.
