The Dark Brotherhood Initiates, unlike some other followers, are essential. RELATED: Skyrim: 5 Ways Its The Best RPG & 5 Better. They always carry the Dark Brotherhood Assassins Note. In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, players have the option to join just about any of the available factions they want, without any limitations.From being a brave Companion to studying magic at the College of Winterhold, theres a faction for any type of character build imaginable.Even for assassins, theres the infamous Dark Brotherhood. I'm playing a dude with the soul of a motha ferkin dragon I don't need to take orders from some bag of bones in a box (or flesh for that matter), but maybe you're the submissive type, I could see how Astrid could be appealing in that aspect.Īnyways, I was just curious how many other people chose the same route I did, as it seems the lot less frequent path, I'm just glad Bethesda didn't force me to join that crappy cult and let me destroy them instead. The Dark Brotherhood will send out Assassins after the Last Dragonborn in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim prior to the Dragonborn joining them. Why would I want to help restore that riff-raff excuse for a cult anyway? If I want to kill the emperor id do it for myself, I don't worship anyone especially a deity as repulsive as this 'Sithis'.ĭon't get me wrong, I dig the whole assassin thing, I just simply don't like the dark brotherhood or what they stand for. The only reason astrid wants the brotherhood restored to it's former 'glory' (whatever they think that means) is so they can be more feared/recognized and thus get more contracts. I haven't completed the DB questline but I disagree, I'm sure it's all about money.

I have no problem hacking dozens of imperial/thalmor/bandit's.etc's heads off if they provoke me. If you pull out Lucien when Shadowmere arises, or occasionally when theyre nearby, he mentions Shadowmere. the only dialogue option i have with him is the initial one and no matter what i do, the three dots to continue the conversation will not come up. except, i can’t get any further than that. Dragons also love to fight him instead, lol. so i’ve made it as far as the Cults of Darkness quest, i made it to the Fringe Sanctum, and I’ve spoken to Banus Alor. It is a horrible place filled with horrible people, so why should I contribute to it? The bride in solitude if you talk to her seems pretty neutral on imperials/stormcloaks, she isn't prejudice or why else would she be marrying into a stormcloak family? I think she was just born into an imperial family, I don't think that justifies her death. Hes immortal in Skyrim, and will fight for you just like in Oblivion.
