Question
In Morrowind, it was possible to permanently kill NPCs who were involved in the main story. This would result in a message basically informing you that you had broken the word and to reload a save if you want to make progress. In Oblivion, this was changed so that important NPCs were "knocked out" instead of killed.
In Skyrim, is there any (outside of console or game file editing) way to permanently kill an important NPC or can I go on a killing spree relatively care free?
Answer
I just confirmed it on the XBox 360.
I was walking along with an important NPC and we attacked a Giant. The Giant practically one-shotted him and kneeled down in agony while recovering.
So while they aren't blown unconscious into a ragdoll like in Oblivion, they are incapacitated while they recover.
The recovery takes around 10 to 15 seconds, so if you're relying on his power (like I was...) his demise into recovery mode really hurts you as the monsters stop aggroing him and focus on you instead.
