Hogwarts Legacy players want the option to kill the game's most 'annoying' NPC

During this time, players have relentlessly searched Hogwarts, looking for secrets, easter eggs and references to popular wizarding world characters and lore. However, some players are having their exploration of Hogwarts ruined by what’s being called the game’s most “annoying” NPC, Peeves The Poltergeist.

Peeves is a spectre that can be found randomly floating around the school, whose behaviour is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way. Peeves is a very mischievous poltergeist, often found taunting other characters and the player, which can be funny at first, but it’s safe to say nobody is laughing anymore.

“Holy cow. I got stuck listening to one of his dialogues with an NPC while exploring a room and if it went on for 3 seconds more I was going to end it all.”

Other players shared their own experiences with Peeves, with many trying to kill him out of sheer desperation. This obviously can’t be done, as NPCs can’t be killed, and even if they could I’d imagine it’d be nigh impossible to kill something that’s already dead.

“I’ve tried to kill him or f**k with him on several occasions. The taunting was getting to me.”

“I have tried to zap him with a basic cast more than once. It never works, of course, but it makes me feel a smidge better.”

“I feel if I had gone to Hogwarts I probably would have devoted my entire career after graduating to finding a way to get rid of Poltergeists.”
