Does Heimskr do anything important?
I want to know if killing Heimskr would stop me from getting/finishing any quests or obtaining any items/active effects etc.
Best Answer
Nope, he's occasionally the target of radiant quests (specifically the Thieves' Guild may ask you to plant evidence at his house), but he himself is pretty worthless.
You may kill him at your leisure.
Alternatively, if his preaching just annoys you, you can mute him with a mod.

After the Battle for Whiterun (Imperial or Stormcloaks), Heimskr's house will be destroyed. If you sided with the Imperials, Heimskr will be sent to jail, where he will continue preaching his sermon. Otherwise, he will set up camp atop the retaining wall next to his shrine.What does Heimskr mean?
