I recently did the civil war and chose to join the legion. As expected Heimskr was imprisoned for his Talos worship. So I looked for him and decided to open his cell door. Then I opened that escape grate and pushed him into the tunnels. Then he started to run through the tunnels all by himself and eventually disappeared at the ladder to the barracks, to be never seen again. I have no mods installed that could cause him to escape. So may he continue his prayers elsewhere...
How do I get rid of Heimskr short of killing him? I sided with the Empire, and now, after the Battle for Whiterun, he's still standing there rambling on and on and on about Talos. I'm really getting to hate Talos. The page mentions something about him being arrested. How do I bring that about? No console commands, please, I'm on PS3.
I read that Heimskr will go to jail after completing the battle for whiterun in the imperial quests. This has never happened to me. Does this only work on pc, or is my 360 just entirely bugged?
Basically title, but yeah, doing into other languages have all his background information and quotes and quips and whatnot (including console related data like his NPC ID and the like), but the "English" version of the page just cuts directly to the discussions section of the page. Nothing's there. No little picture of Hemiskir, no long ass quote of his whole speech in Whiterun. None of that's there.
I just had what I think is a great idea, go to the wayshrine in the first city you spawn in and stand by it (for those who didn't know this is in elder scrolls online). Next set up a microphone or something that allows you th use voice chat. Lastly, go into the area channel and start playing Heimskr's preaching on loop.
(Side note: ESO take place before the birth of tiber septim aka: talos.)
Ok - this has probably been covered several times before, but I'm fairly new to this so I'd like to hear from the people currently active.
Who is the most annoying NPC and why?
Nazeem, Aerin and Heimskr seem to pop up quite often...
I'll go in a different direction though - how condescending is Farengar? Seeing him flee from the dragon later in the game (hopefully not a spoiler!) was very satisfying. If you see him without his hood, you'll see the hideous sideburns he sports.
Everyone hates him. Everybody wants to stab a sword through his face. The question is: what inventive method of assassination did you use to kill him? Myself, I cast frenzy on him. It was hilarious seeing him in a dagger-fight against Ysolda.
Ok, so, Heimskr in Old Norse means "Fool" or "Foolish".Just a tid bit of knowledge.
The Stormcloaks support the worship of Talos, yet during their siege the only house they destroyed was the house owned by none other than Whiterun's only preacher of Talos, forcing him to live in a tent (or in jail, if the imperials won).
Not so much of a topic as a frustration that I am not given access to add some "Trivia" to his [Heimskr's] page.
Source: I studied Old Norse and Norse traditions, English-Old Norse Dictionary-- compiled by Ross G. Arthur.
My observation of the book has found that of the few words we have documented for the Norse word for "foolish," "heimskr" is one of these. I was initially searching for the word "fool" but I came across "foolish" the adjective, reading over I noted that a Norse adjective for foolish is heimskr.
In conclusion:
Modern English: Foolish
Old Norse: Heimskr
Old Norse: "heimskr" = foolish
I think many people sometimes find that Heimskr is in jail but don't know why. I discover this a moment ago and I search the internet and found a possible reason. That may be due to the Civil War quest line. Because player sided with the Empire so Whiterun belongs to the Empire after the battle and worshiping Talos is strictly forbidden so Heimskr maybe (not always) sent to jail. But he still preaches in jail. I think this should be mention in the page of Heimskr but it is locked.
He puts a contract out on your head, does anyone else have this happen to them? I have had it happen in almost all my games where some thugs have come for me and I killed them allowing me to obtain a contract signed by Heimskr himself...
I was playing skyrim than heimskr was missing so I used a placeatme cheat to spawn him, but is not spawn it's say the Id is wrong I looked everywhere for heimskr so help???
Seriously, every time someone mentions Heimskr, someone has to say I hate him, he's annoying so I killed him.
I like the old guy, he's just filled with so much passion.
so the Thieves guild quest for this house, is it a burglary job like it says in the description or a shill job like it describes in the bugs section?
