Skyrim player amasses 267,000 gold lifetime bounty after killing 'everything that was killable,' and all you can really do is tearfully salute it

A figure clad in black stands atop a rock in the centre of a lake, with not a single other living thing in sight.

"When all the world is overcharged with inhabitants," said the greatest philosopher who ever lived: Mass Effect 2's Thane Krios, "then the last remedy of all is war, which provideth for every man, by victory or death."

And friends, I'm excited to announce that war has officially provideth-ed for every man, goat, chicken and guard in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Mostly by death. As reported by GamesRadar, a player named Amelix34 has accrued a lifetime bounty of 267,000 gold after killing "everything that was killable" in the game's world. That is, says Amelix34's own stats page, 3310 people, 693 animals, 401 "creatures," 947 undead, 55 Daedra, and 98 automatons. No backstabs, though, so at least it was honourable.
