Destroy Dark Brotherhood after Finishing their Quests?


MageBlade

Recommended Posts

Hey there, if anyone could help me out, I'm hoping for a way to get up to the quest to kill the Emperor and then kill Astrid and start the Destroy the Dark Brotherhood quests. I'm not sure if it would be as simple as removing Astrids Essential Flag or if I need a full mod to do it.

 

Besides the potential comments of why, I just want to. Remove the failing Emperor, take the Emperors clothes, and end the Dark Brotherhood. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Sounds like they are looking for an overhaul of the entire end questline. Pretty much have the first attempt on the Emperor succeed, you get away with it, then you betray the DB and start the Destroy the DB quest line. Dump the part on the boat entirely.

 

Might be possible, but would require some significant reworking.

Isn't that already handled by the questline?

What I have read is Destroy the Dark Brotherhood gets locked out if you complete the first quest, but reading the wiki it says the only thing that triggers Destroy the Brotherhood is Astrids death, automatically. So I feel like the lock out might just be due to the game making Astrid essential, which if I used console commands to remove her essential status, I think it might work, but I don't know. Was wondering if anyone had any experience on it.

 

Don't care how it might "break" lore or anything. Just functionally want the game to recognize both the Emperor was killed and the Dark Brotherhood was destroyed, aaand that I actually played it out not just bonking the console for flags.

The problem is that Astrid is already functionally "dead" as soon as the first emperor assassination is done. At that point her original character is removed and replaced with the burned version you find when returning to the Sanctuary.

 

Similarly, if you kill her earlier, the Emperor never spawns at all.

What about then spawning/resurrecting? Maybe it needs to register that the Player kills Astrid? Huh, not sure. Dang

You'd also have to restart the "With Friends Like These" quest, since all the scripting to start "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood" is probably in that quest.

 

It would probably requiring a lot of testing and fixing of conflicts, at least.

Guess I just gotta destroy the DB and spawn in the armor, oof
