Am I the only jerk who didn't like the Dark Brotherhood?

[Genghis_Caesar]

So, I did do the DB questline on two of my saves, but after my second one I realized I really didn't like them, and even started a new character because I simply couldn't find it in me to kill the emperor, and on every playthrough since I've eliminated them. Am I the only jerk that did that?

N.B. I never spared Cicero because his voice drove me insane, so I can't say I've done everything with the DB.

I agree, totally. They need to work on the stories for the guilds in TES VI, if they are as shallow as they are for Skyrim then it will be a major blow against the game.

Skyrim has decent quests, it's just not the guilds.

Agreed. I love Skyrim to death but it's definitely lacking in some things, particularly the guilds. I don't like the Companions, the Thieves Guild was O.K. but not fantastic, and I hate the DB. I'm hoping for the next game they add a little more complexity to the guilds and give you more options in them (among other things like more complex levels and maybe the ability to toggle map-markers on and off).

Map markers on/off is easy to toggle with mods. Guild faction upgrades would be kind of welcome to next TES. I also liked TG, but other questlines were quite short.

the quest to kill the emperor is one of the most well thought out and amazing side quests I've ever played! The ending is mind-blowing af! I don't like them too much but after you finish and it's just you and Rhazeed it's bearable... You also get your own torture chamber :D

Have been playing the game off and on for 6 years. Have always meant to play the dark bro questline, but just never have.

It's okay, and at times kind of fun, but ultimately you aren't missing out all too much. Most of their members aren't likeable characters besides the Argonian one, and you have almost no interaction with him during it.

If you've been playing for six years though it might be nice to do it if you never have before unless the whole thing has been spoiled for you :p

You'll be a jerk if you joined them.
I wish if i could destroy the thieves guild & Maven, but not everything work as you wish.

Best you can do about the Thieves Guild is to just leave them alone, since they're pretty much doing horribly (hiding in a sewer, no influence, no loot, they're a joke) unless the Dragonborn helps them out.


And yeah, while I've done the Dark Brotherhood stuff, I usually find it more satisfying to go in there and nuke the place with a mage or stab them all with my own assassin character.

Never did the Dark Brotherhood content. I don't care to. Thieves Guild I'm not a fan of either except for their base of operations. Making the Dragonborn start off shaking down coin from NPC's like a Mafia thug. The only Guild content I've completed is the College of Winterhold.

I kill them off early to, hate them.
Sadly there is no decent way to get rid of the pack in Riften.
There are some mod for it.

I could do this, but then again i would encounter this moment where i almost complete my journey with that one quest left.

Must..... do it

If the Thalmor have an Embassy here..why didnt they add a Morag Tong mision in that area?

[Maddin]

Like I so much take that mod. It even supports Requiem and being a petty thief doesn't really fit into my current playthrough of being a powerful mage (or becoming one)

[Hare+Guu!]

I did the quest the first time, but just destroyed them on other plays. They were pretty douchey, and then they just died. There's really no point in doing their crap over and over again.

Saaaame. I don't mind the thieves guild and they have their pros but if there was an alternative option to dismantle it I would have probably tried it, maybe even stuck with it.
