In-depth description

What kill does

kill ends the life of the actor you currently have selected. Open the console, click the NPC or creature (its reference ID appears at the top of the screen), type kill, and press Enter.

Notes

  • Story-essential characters cannot truly die — they collapse unconscious and get back up. Use resurrect to revive an NPC you killed.
  • To wipe out everyone in the area at once, use killall instead.
  • If you cannot click the target, select it by reference ID first with prid <refid>.
