After you have informed a guard, he/she will tell you to find a general at Dragons bridge and pass the message on - still in disbelief that you were able to take down the leader of the Dark Brotherhood. Solitude may be the best destination to quick-travel to though, seeing as it is nearest the shack. The Dark Brotherhood, a shadowy group of cold-blooded assassins, is an old and feared organization within The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.By getting involved in their deadly questline, the Dragonborn can choose to join the Dark Brotherhood, restoring the group to its former glory and eliminating targets across Skyrim. You can literally walk up to any guard and tell them of Astrid's death.
You are now able to set the captives free and instructed to inform a guard of Astrid's death. Until a new quest pops up "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood". Kill Astrid and you will find the key to escape the shack on her body, the quest for the Dark Brotherhood will come up as failed. For one thing, they kill innocent people and Astrid wanted Cicero dead just because he had a change of mind, so I think that was utterly evil. Well, if you get to talking to the three captives that kneel before you (whether out of basic interest or earnestly trying to discover which one could have had a 'hit' placed on them) you will discover that one is a mother of six, the other a soldier and another a Khajiit who's already had a contract taken out on him before.Killing the Khajiit may ease the consciences of some, but for others there is always the option of killing Astrid. The Dark Brotherhood: To Destroy Or Not To Destroy I have mixed feelings about this group. A hooded woman known as Astrid tells you that she is from the Dark Brotherhood and that you owe a debt to them.To repay it, you must simply kill one of the three captives in the shack. I did include them in my Improved Housecarls And Hirelings mod, though, so they have teh Skillz.So. You don't get the two tag-a-longs in the Dawnstar Sanctuary. You don't get to see the Beautiful Barbarian. You won't have to kill the same 4 people over and over and over.
Solitude's just down the road, but I can only ever get him in Markarth, because it's the only city he will actually make it to somehow. You don't have to follow Maro's son around Skyrim waiting for him to actually WALK to a city. You don't get to kill an inconsequental Emperor's double. You don't get to kill an inconsequential Emperor. Overall, i enjoyed Oblivions DB a lot more and it had actual DB feel, meanwhile in Skyrim. You won't have to hear the same 3 lines over and over from werewolf dude.īut you can still get the Marked For Death Shout. or Destroy the Dark Brotherhood Required fields are marked. You won't have to put up with Cicero or the Night Skank's voice acting. This will initiate the quest Destroy the Dark Brotherhood (This is the only chance to destroy the dark brotherhood because after joining, the Brotherhood members are otherwise unkillable.) Killing a Dark Brotherhood Assassin (when attacked randomly, at a random location) holds no ramifications as the 5 Tenets have been abandoned. You won't have to hear Festus Krex run his mouth. You won't have to hear 3 Dog recite poorly written jokes. You have to endure Olava the Feeble saying "Come to chat with an old woman, eh? Do your good deed for the day?" even when you were just passing by and made no attempt to speak to her.īut then if you do the DB quest, you have to put up with her other comments about being too tired to give you another reading and blah blah blah. If it bothers you, you can always console him and SetOwnership and SetRelationshipRank 3 on him. You won't see Babette out on the road randomly feeding off a corpse.
You don't get to kill the vampire though, even though she's over 100 years old.
