Leave Astrid to Die

I know relatively little about modding, but there's one aspect of the Dark Brotherhood questline that has irked me since i first played it:

Astrid doesn't deserve a quick, just death, nor deliverance into the hands of Sithis. She deserves to choke on the ashes of her burning lungs, immobile for hours surrounded by the unrecognizably charred corpses of her former family.

 

I figure it shouldn't be too difficult to add an option to simply walk away, right? no? maybe?

I just... Really find her final wishes disgustingly entitled and it conflicts with my moral compass to allow her to get away with the massacre of our goddamn family, especially since she betrayed both the Brotherhood as well as Sithis himself in doing so. Over something as petty as metathesiophobia.

 

Let me know if any of you are interested, or if this is an unreasonable request.

Of course, if you let your feelings interfere with your ability to uphold a contract, you will be violating the primary requirement of being a family member and therefore betraying both the Night Mother and Sithis in the process. So it seems like by doing so you should have to walk away from the Dark Brotherhood entirely.

 

Which, honestly, is a rather poetic conclusion and an ironic source of character growth for the PC.

But of course.

People are allowed to be hypocritical, particularly when it provides such an intriguing narrative stance.

 

Edit: Additionally, while I admit that I did supply my motive in ample amount, I don't think it really holds much weight towards the core topic of whether such a mod is possible, practical, or appealing. If nothing else, it would be nice to have the mere option of denying Astrid a good death.
