How to Kill NPCs That Go Unconscious in Oblivion

Oblivion is a single-player role-playing game where players create a character and explore and fight through a virtual fantasy world. In Oblivion, the land of Cyrodill is under attack from demons, and the player must find a way to defeat the demons and save the land. NPCs or non-player characters that go unconscious in Oblivion are characters that are essential to the storyline. These characters cannot be killed, rather, when their health is zero, they become unconscious for a few minutes. To kill these characters, a player needs to change the game settings.
