Actually Vivec is quite easy to kill, the easiest way is to use hand-to-hand, assuming it's high enough, he doesn't even manage to get a spell or blow in usually and even if he does the Nerevarine can usually shrug it off, and that's before destroying the heart!

As to why, he has a history of betrayal, starting with murdering the PC's first incarnation as Nerevar, who in their right mind would leave him around to likely do it again?

As to why I disparage lore, it's because I find the concept ludicrous when applied to a series of games which can have vastly different outcomes; this topic highlights just one.

Another in a similar vein that I alluded to is Helseth; I found it quite irksome to overhear people talking (in Oblivion) as if he were still alive. How many players are going to allow the evil [expletive deleted] to live after he set the Dark Brotherhood on her/him?
