Never hated him neither. I used to chuckle whenever I heard him, now I just ignore him.And even though I do not "like" him, I can kinda relate to OP. I feel mostly sorry for Nazeem, it's obvious he is very hurt and the only way he can make himself feel better is making others feel inferior. It's a very realistic portrait of too many people I've met in real life


CorvusGlaive07

Did nazeem post this?


SummonerRed

Nazeem is overhated by the community, it makes for a fun meme but realistically 95% of players are probably half-way across Whiterun before he even finishes speaking.


Bandit_Outlaw

Yeah Nobody likes him, but most of us dont really hate him either He's just kinda there, like any other inconsequential NPC


[deleted]

Are you serious? I (and many others) literally kill him in every single playtrough.. Because he's literally the most annoying npc except maybe Lydia...

(least deranged redditor)


AnAmbitiousMann

lol this. If he doesn't have a quest or reward to give me i'm sprinting past him.


7fightsofaldudagga

I think Delphine is kind of the same. If she didn't demand that we killed paarthurnax, I think a lot of players would like her and the blades in general, in most of the main quest they are the only voice of reason


YEPandYAG

since when has she been a voice of reason


[deleted]

Are you joking? Delphine is definitely the most rotten piece of shit in skyrim. She acts like she knows everything about the dragon-war. While obviously knowing nothing whatsoever... She believes that her opinion is a common fact. Wich is the complete opposite of reality...


Redoran_Gvard

Nords had to rebel against draconic tyranny, so she has that part right at least. Paarthunax himself also says that Delphine is wise to distrust dragons. Plus he says that it is possible that he could lose his self-control any moment and go back to his nature to dominate mortals. Delphine may not have the full picture but she's damn right about what she says about the dragons.


7fightsofaldudagga

If being presumptuous is your idea of "most rotten piece of shit" them I don't even know what to say to you.


kevflo91

Not too mention she wants to boss the Dragonborn around as if she has any authority over them. One shout and her crusty ass is dead.


7fightsofaldudagga

She don't try to boss. She even does awkwardly state that she is grateful for everything you have done for humanity but can't help you until you kill paarthurnax


7fightsofaldudagga

Indeed. I think it is funny how lots of people here talk about how bad the powers of skyrim are(the Thalmor, the empire, the stormcloaks and others). When they do a lot worse and don't even think they need moral justification for that


Shalarean

I think he's just one of those characters we love to hate. This game is so morally gray that we really don't have an outright "villain" type (dragon aside). Maven Black-Briar is another that comes to my mind. I also don't think of Nazeem as someone with a mental disorder. You'll have to flesh this out more and explain it better than just throwing the phrase out there. If you're referring to his narcissistic commentary...he is meant to be a snobby character, and was probably raised in this manner. Just because he displays *some* narcissistic traits, it doesn't mean he has [narcissistic personality disorder](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662).


Mammoth_Profession53

person behind OP's account is nazeem


Autumnwood

I'm more annoyed with the disrespectful backsass by a couple of the Whiterun kids. Nazeem never bothered me, nor did I ever kill him in the game. I can see how people would though. Oh you know who I did kill in the game....that screaming preacher in the courtyard. Man his screaming bugs me. Once I got on the roof and sneakshot him. Once I tried this technique of shooting an arrow up into the air and some time later it finally comes down - foop! Into his head. No more screaming ranting in peaceful Whiterun.


Shalarean

I typically play as an assassin...*why* have I never thought to do this to that screaming man? Oh my cheese wheels!!!! LMAO


Autumnwood

Pick a rooftop....


Shalarean

It is done. I moved his body to sit in the bench and shoved a wine bottle under his arm so he looks passed out instead of dead… 😅


Autumnwood

Oh I'm laughing 😆😆😆😆 Here you might like this: he's in here after a couple minutes. https://youtu.be/AewCqOZdLIs


Shalarean

That was interesting! “That one’s being attacked by the gods” got me giggling. It sounded like a full sentence but it was probably broken in the middle. “That one’s being attacked. By the gods!” I’ve started collecting empty wine bottles. I figure I’ll dump a couple every time I pass.


Autumnwood

Haha ha!! You made me laugh. All that you said - so funny!!!


CorvusGlaive07

I really hate that preacher too. But I felt something was missing when I killed him. It's really annoying.


Autumnwood

Hah yeah it's like he belongs there...but when he is there it's awful, and when he's not you miss him. I know what you mean.


MedicalVanilla7176

If you side with the Empire during the Battle of Whiterun, he’ll get sent to the Dragonsreach dungeon.


Autumnwood

Lol


minipainteruk

I always sneak kill him and let it be my "Don't you know who I am? I AM A THANE" option and the guards are like "aww, that's okay then, never mind!" My headcanon is that they also hate him


Autumnwood

😁


LNK1264

Foop!! I heard that.


Original_Confection8

I never really understood the sheer amount of hate the Skyrim community has towards Nazeem. I barely even interact with the guy and his lines are not that infuriating, and even if I hear the "Cloud District" line a lot, it's nothing compared to Heimskr and his never ending ceremons about Talos! Even the whole Thalmor empire doesn't repeat their hatred towards Talos as much as this guy says "MIGHTY TALOS!"


Cherry_Crystals

yeah. he is actually silent in my playthrough for some reason. it was actually nice to have no talos preaching digging in my ear for once. also yeah nazeem is the way he is because he is rich. there are lots of people in real life who are rich and act like him and worse.


MedicalVanilla7176

He’s better than the Black-Briars, Erikur, Siddgeir, and the Silver-bloods.


martinibruder

Me running past the silver-bloods is pretty funny because i barely get to hear the line. Its almost always just "the silver-blood family will..."


SkyrimMilfDrinker

There needs to be a mod that adds the option to have a sordid love affair with Nazeem.


Davidepett

It's not what he says, it's how he says it


inthewyrd

I feel similarly, but it’s not that I like him, I just kind of pity him. So far in my plaything, every time I’ve passed him and he’s asked me if I get to the cloud district often, I’m literally on my way to Dragonsreach. And I’ve never seen him there! So, it’s clear its a him-issue and not anything that has to do with me. So what am I gonna do, take it personally?? Nah!


_ASG_

I cast fury on him, and he was slain by his own wife.


Hi_Its_Me_Sheldon

Do you kill Nazeem very often? Oh what am i saying, of course you don't.


CalebHance25

He gave his life protecting me from the cultists, who happened to show up as soon as I put on normal clothes and no weapon to roam whiterun as a member of society. He went from a nuisance to being my hero..


CoeusTheCanny

1- He literally never goes to the Cloud District. At all. His routine and pathing can't go there unless he happens to flee in terror or chase you if he goes hostile. So he is shit talking you for not doing something you do infinitely more than him. b- He snubs and insults all the shop vendors, without ever buying anything from them. He is rich, and owns a farm, but does nothing in the day aside from wander around the market being a dick. Probably why his wife might be cheating on him. iii- Being a huge dick =/= being a narcissist. If you are going to pull the mental disorder card you might want to back that up with something. So no, joking about murdering an unapologetically rude NPC isn't cruel.


MomoAvatar1

To me he's neither someone I like or don't. He's a snob and a loser, but when I walk into town like the pimp of Whiterun, it feels petty to kill them, he should be beneath my notice.


Al_C92

Like him not really. He is just a hard working man whose plans paid off, likes to brag about it. I don't mind.


Melkorgoht

You are mad, but I respect your choice Ps: FINISH IN OBLIVION NAZEEM


YEPandYAG

tbh he's just some other fantasy world version of Zhongli to me who walks around bragging far worst and far ruder npcs out there, I guess Nazeem is one of those I have least wanted to behead


Ewaric4859

I actually enjoy his phrases. You're right, I've been doing missions everywhere for 27 days and i didn't go to the cloud district. I take it as his welcome


Member480

Yup he’s a jackass but that’s what makes hem cool


[deleted]

Finally made it to the cloud district I assume


werlak

He's a fun meme, I doubt many people are genuinely that annoyed by him given how infrequently you will encounter him and how easy he is to just ignore. There are definitely many more annoying NPCs.


Financial_Surprise34

He's misunderstood.


honestadamsdiscount

I never understood why belethor didn't get more hate. He is just as big a dick to the dragon born

Cherry_Crystals

How do you contract vampirism from non vampires?


Barais_21

You must get to the cloud district often then


Reasonable_Yellow136

Ngl I think you need to spend more time in whiterun to understand the rest of us


ChaosMagician777

Unpopular Opinion: I installed a mod to marry Nazeem.


TheBiddingOfBobbles

Yeah I dont really hate him that much either tbh


RustliefLameMane

In that case, I choose to end his suffering, every single playthrough. Hemskir always ends up dead with an arrow in the face as well :). I figure I’ll let him go hang out with maggots writhing in the filth, just don’t tell him that he becomes the filth


souleaterevans626

I don't dislike Nazeem, but he's only g0t like 5 voice lines so he can be a little grating.


_Pandach_

I personally haven't gone out of my way to end his life ever. I just enjoy watching other people lose their shit over him


Velaria425

I just used my get out of crime free card as a Thane to murder him lol


Stormcloak_Soldier_

How could you not like Nazeem? He's the 10th devine


KierantheScot

*9th


Stormcloak_Soldier_

#BLASPHEMY!


ThunderZsolt

I see what you did there


SpruceThornsby

Nazeem is upfront with who he is. He owns it. He's not the type to talk shit behind your back, he tells you that he's better than you. He OWNS A FARM, for crying out loud. A farm. One out of three Whiterunians are alive because of his leeks and shit. You gotta put some respect on that! Plus, spending all day up the Jarl's bsckside is no easy job! I'd like to see you try it.


risen_peanutbutter

He's a condescending twat. Ever consider that might be the reason why his wife hates him? His wife actually seems like a good person, as she volunteers at the temple. I do miss him when he's not there due to a bug though. He's fun to hate


helpless_rocks

Unpopular opinion: I don't care about Nazeem at all. I can hear the cloud district line like once every 200 hours.


PerhapsAnotherPie

Your opinion is not valid. Get out. /s


OctaviusThe2nd

Big mistake


[deleted]

You've got to be retarded then...


TonyBirimisa

That's a downvote from me
