Is there someone in the Commonwealth you wish would just disappear? Have you come across someone in the game you can’t stand but can’t kill either? Does your favorite town have someone who just needs to be gone, and you’ve tried everything but come up short? Are the bodies of dead attackers marring the otherwise perfect aesthetic of your favorite settlement? Then this is the mod for you.
Found in a safe embedded directly into the street in Sanctuary, the NPC Eraser is a knife whose attack isn’t considered hostile by targets or witnesses, which does no damage, and which erases its target from existence after 1 second. You could use it to remove specific NPCs from the game, clean up the bodies of raiders and robots that have attempted attacks on your settlements, or depopulate entire towns for that eerie, “ghost town” feeling you’ve always wanted.
Notes:
If you erase an important character, you may end up unable to complete quests related to that character. If your current objective is “Talk to Preston”, and you erase Preston, you’ll just have a quest marker pointing to the ground where Preston last stood before you sent him to the Void. Erase at your own risk.
Some NPCs are apparently immune to being erased: certain enemies and some guards, very specific people such as Deacon while undercover, and a handful of modded NPCs. Unfortunately I haven’t figured out why this is the case, but if I come up with an answer, I’ll try to fix it and release an update for that.
The NPC Eraser is weightless, so it won’t take up valuable carry capacity.
After you acquire the NPC Eraser, you can scrap the safe if you don’t want it anymore.
Enjoy!
