Lachdonin Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Not completely, without a listener and the night mother they go where the money is, but if the night mother tells the listener to go or do something he cant do anything about it, if he refuses he better be ready to face sithis himself. As i said, the whole Night Mother thing, the spooky religious aspects and the overt 'evil' tones that were brought in with Oblivion ruined the Dark Brotherhood. It was directly opposed to their depiction in Daggerfall and Morrowind, and still contradicts the information about them in-universe. The Night Mother MAY hear the occasional prayer, and assign a specific target, but the overwhelming majority of the Dark Brotherhoods contracts would come from wealthy patrons such as Queen Arlimehera or King Helseth (or Maven Blackbriar) and not some ritual.

Lachdonin Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 well that ruins a lot :\ As someone who believes that Oblivion hurt TES, with it's destruction of Cyrodiilic culture, it's overly feel-good tones and it's cartoonish art. The Dark Brotherhood as more of a business adds more of a sinister atmosphere, instead of just relying on evil gods. It's like the KGB. I'd be more afraid of them, because 'its just business', than i would of Aztec priests sacrificing me to their bloodthirsty gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchan05 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Because no one who would perform the BS for Maven would be stupid enough to advertise it. And since there is no Listener, the DB doesn't hear the BS being performed anymore, unless a rumor spreads like the Aretino kid. So basically, anybody could be doing it but the DB doesn't know.
