Karliah loves to gush about how she saved you.

But no, even though Karliah obviously has more than one arrow in her quiver (she has many, many arrows), she didn't kill Mercer. I mean like how hard is it to tranquilize a guy, than shoot the other guy behind him in the chest with a BASE arrow. It seems like Karliah is actually a noob. If I was threatened, it would have been 2 arrows, one to each neck (and I am a crappy archer)

Plus, Mercer's dwarven weapons are hardly going to go through a set of daedric armor. Couldn't persuade Mercer to take the lead, which suckked. Anyway, surprising why Karliah's poison worked on a vampire. All this game coding limitations are quite sad, actually. I would have liked a chance to beat Mercer in Snow Veil, then slowly retrace my steps out.

Only a nightingale would be able to kill Mercer? He's only supported by Nocturnal, whose Sepulcher he desecrated (which means Nocturnal is probably like "F*** U Mercer). You, on the other hand, is supported by the Dragon god of Time and a pantheon of 15 daedric princes (some of whom probably have way more power than Nocturnal herself). Even if Nocturnal protected Mercer, you think she can win the others together in terms of power? (She even loses the hotness contest in totality.)
