LE Help the Penitus Oculatus

[Jacen67]

Hello one and all,

 

What i'm about to explain contain spoilers of the Dark Brotherhood Questlne so if you haven't played that part yet and don't want to know about it, move along :smile: .

Also i'm no modder so i'm just sharing my ideas, if real modder(s) would be so kind as to take this into consideration it'd be great ^^

 

 

Well then, i'm sure you guys know that, when you have to "repay your debts" to the Dark Brotherhood for stealing their contract with Aventus Aretino you have 2 choices :

 

1) kill 1 or more of the people held captive and join the Dark Brotherhood.

 

OR

 

2) Kill Astrid and go tell the Penitus Oculatus.

 

Well i was curious and choose the later....and was utterly disappointed.

 

As you go to the Penitus HQ and tell them what you did, they send you to the Dark Brotherhood hideout to kill them.

Once you're done Captain Maro is like "oh right you killed them all, good job kkthxbye."

 

They had the password to go to the HQ but didn't bother, because yeah who cares about an asssassin's guild that is known for killing nobles and emperors throughout history right?

 

Instead they send ONE person to whipe out one of the most dangerous assassin's guild of Tamriel, and give him a few bucks as a reward.

 

 

Well i think the Penitus Oculatus could be a much better experience, by making a questline where you could, for exemple :

 

Thwart off various assassination schemes (maybe the ones of the Dark brotherhood questline? ) find a way to obtain the password (instead of Maro saying "yeah i had it all along but hey, i have a bridge to watch and sh*t you know?") and finaly getting rid of the Dark Brotherhood for good.

getting actual rewards and, why not, one of their armor set?

 

Seriously i had more trouble emptying a bandits lair than destroying the Dark Brotherhood FFS.

 

Sorry for the long post and thanks for reading :smile:

I didn't even know that you could kill Astrid as an option. But that seems horrible, I think the dark brotherhood questline is bad already and though I'd love a mod like this I think there is a very slim chance that it can be made. The amount of time and knowledge + the fact that I'm not sure how good it is to interfere with vanilla quests or how easy it is.

 

Good suggestion, but probably hard to execute.

Thanks for the reply :)

 

Well i'm pretty sure that the fact of killing Astrid only bringing disapointment is the main reason of that alternative to be, well, unknown of many players. :)

 

And i gotta admit, what i'm asking will take quite some time and effort to do.

 

But i realy think it would blend in realy well, and offer a nice alternative to killing NPCs that i kinda appreciate for most ^^
