Yeah, but I was referring back to the days of Morrowind when essential npcs could die like everyone else and didn't have plotanium armor to protect them. It always irked me how you can't kill certain characters just to find out what would have happened if they'd died.

tl;dr if there's less consequences for the player's actions then we can't really influence the world that much.
