Skyrim Pacifist

[Ancient_One]

Read an interesting story recently on a guy playing through Skyrim as a Pacifist.

How To Be A Pacifist in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Now that would be a challenge.

I guess the use of companions and employing magic would be the only way to do it. You probably don't get the rewards for killing things either but not sure.

Me, I'm a sneaky destruction mage. Everything trembles before me but I have to admit it would be interesting and challenging to play a Pacifist.

Would you take up the challenge and play in this way?

I saw that a while ago and I believe he mentioned that using companions actually awarded him damage so he could not use them. He seemed to focus on healing and illusion magic to make creatures not attack him and recover quickly when they did.

I like killing too much in the game to take that route. There's also the fact that you can't play through the main storyline and are forced to spend your time on side quests.
