LE Alternate Destroy Dark Brotherhood

[rjthebarbarian]

If something like this already exists please let me know.

 

I would like an alternate way to initiate the quest to destroy the DB. It never made any sense to me, from a role-play perspective and a "good guy" character, that you kill Grelod and turn around and kill Astrid, but Grelod was "mean" so it was ok. So if you could come up some sort of "quest" or way around doing the Innocence Lost and With Friends Like These quests I would appreciate it.

I was thinking along the same lines. I want to try the mod "Disband the Thieve's Guild" but it seems a bit odd to play the Champion of Justice" in Riften....except for that one little incident in the Orphanage.

 

I was thinking it would start like this:

The player arrives at Aventus' home but he's not there. He's already been collected by the authorities and will be shipped back to the Orphanage. However, Because he's already performed the Black Sacrament, Another assassin has already killed Grelod at the Orphanage (Assume Aventus is in Transit during this, so he's neither at his home, nor is he at the orphanage yet.) The assassin has gone back to Aventus' house to report she's dead. But that's where the player finds the assassin and is attacked. After defeating the assassin, player finds a note saying The kids' been sent back to the orphanage, and once outside, the rumors can be heard that Grelod has been murdered, it's just that the player didn't do it. Now this is where the regular story would pick up. The player gets' the note that says "We know"..etc...etc I am sure that within Astrid's vioce files, a bit of reasonable editing could be done where the player is locked in the shack with Astrid and the 3 victims, her dialog could reflect that she's not so upset over the loss of an incompetent assassin, but does want "compensation" for the loss. A kill for a kill. And thus it starts.

pgir, i think that sort of defeats the purpose of the choice of killing them. It might be better to go in, talk to the little boy, but have the option to refuse it and leave. If you do, you'll hear rumors of grettle still being killed, but you won't get the "we know" until you return to boys house, find it empty and then find the assassin return for his pay, and kill him
