Skyrim-style Destroy the Dark Brotherhood for Oblivion

[zazusha]

First things first. I KNOW there have been various mods allready made that allow the player to attack and kill the dark brotherhood members.

 

I HAVEN'T seen it done the way I would like. The ones I've found Either: Had no quest or logical premise for it. OR had a ridiculous reward system.

 

I've attempted to make this quest mod myself (had dialogue planned out, and everything), but I'm inexperienced, and had difficulties with the scripting and quest progression. Thus I'm making a request.

 

Spoiler Warning Skyrim's Alternative DB quest line, and Oblivion's (if you can call it that :/).

 

In Skyrim: after killing the Matron of the orphanage, and you get kidnapped by Astrid in your sleep, wake up in a random shack, and she tells you to kill any 1 of her 3 hostages, and you'll become a DB member.

 

Alternatively, you can attack Astrid then and there. Kill her, and you'll get a quest to take her 'Blade of Woe' to a guard, who will then direct you to talk to Commander Maro (who has beef with the DB). He'll then give you a quest to storm the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary and kill all the remaining members (minus Cicero and Babette.) And you return to Maro and get rewarded.

 

In Oblivion: When Lucien Lachance first contacts you and gives you the "Knife in the Dark" mission to kill Rufio, you can attack and kill Lucien then and there. After killing him, u get a quest update that tells you your only possible way into the DB is gone. THE END.

 

I hate this lame ending.

 

 

The Mod I would be requesting, would give Oblivion a quest line similar to Skyrim's. One that has lore-Friendly means to attacking the Cheydinhal sanctuary after killing Lucien with worth-while, but not overpowered, rewards.

 

Quest Stage/Log Progression:

 

 

Stage 10:

After killing Lucien lachance, I found an 'Odd Well key' on his body. I should report what happened to a guard.

 

Stage 20:

After telling a guard what happened, They told me to report to Commander Adamus Phillida, as he's been investigating the Dark Brotherhood most of his career.

 

Stage 30:

Commander Phillida said now was the 'Time to Strike' and that i should take the key to Count Indarys in Cheydinhal. Phillida said he had reason to believe the Count knows where a Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.

 

Stage 40:

After questioning Count Indarys, he told me there was infact a Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary in Cheydinhal, and that the 'Odd Well Key' i had could be to a Well behind an 'Abandoned House' in the town's Chapel District. He said he would reward me if I went into the Sanctuary and killed any Dark Brotherhood members I found within.

 

Stage 50:

The Dark Brotherhood assassins within the Cheydinhal Sanctuary lay dead. I should return to Count Indarys for my reward.

 

Stage 60:

The Count thanked me for my service to his city and rewarded me with the money he was bribed with by the brotherhood to keep his silence. I should inform Commander Phillida of what happened.

 

Stage 70: (quest complete)

Commander Phillida told me I've done a great service for the Legion, and gave me an enchanted Ring.
