[WIP] Destroy the Dark Brotherhood Improved

[viper123]

hey, I also wanted to create a mod like this, but sadly my modding skills are bad to say the least.

 

Anay way I thought i might just share my ideas:

I thought of making a new faction that is part of the penitus that some what resemble rangers to keep that stealth feal. I thought of making the hide out look something like the eldergleam sactuary(since rangers are in one with nature).

As for the story I also thought of going with the same path as you but the main quest giver that is like astrit from the DB sould be astrit's son to add more depth to the story. '

I also thought that one of the penitus agents should be a traitor causing something bad to happen to the rangers. Lastly I thought it would be better to let some of the targets of the DB be killed since this will make them feel more powerfull and dangerous.

 

I played a lot with the idea's of the ranger and being a scout for the penitus to uncover the next target of the DB.

 

Any case those where some of my better idea's, feel free to use any of them and I can't wait for u to finish this project :thumbsup:

PS. Sorry for the late ideas.

Any updates on this mod situation? I'd really love if I could take out the DB without killing Grelod.

I sincerely hope you're still working on this mod, it's exactly what I've been looking for.

I've created custom follower NPCs for Skyrim before, so I might be able to help with that. Giving them custom dialogue is out of my league, though.

Yes. This is the kind of thing I need right now. I'm an Imperial legion Legate, why would I want to kill my own emperor (you know, the guy i'm sworn to protect)? Also I think you should do some of this working with the Penitus Oculatus or whatever they're called, being given missions by Commander Maro etc.

Finally a mod that allows noble knights and warriors to destroy the Dark Brotherhood without murdering a poor defenseless old women. I can't wait for this to be completed. Keep up the good work.

some of you may like this one. The only thing I'd really like to see is a mod that lets you track down the new hideout and finish them all off for good!

how is this mod going? it sound pretty nice.. is it abbandoned?? also the first letter could be an order to kill the emperor(you could not save his cousin and he still comes,the decoy is killed and you save the real emperor) you get his respect and his gratefulness etc.

I've just discovered this topic and I do hope that this mod is still going to happen, it looks like a way better and interesting way to approach the original Destroy the Dark Brotherhood quest which I think is too stupidly easy with no real immersive substance.

 

Like a lot of other players; I don't really believe in or respect the Dark Brotherhood or their cause, killing people who are innocent or who may have erred in judgement once in their lives and living in remorse since then. I try to only kill those who shows no remorse in what they do (like initiating armed combat against me). I take neither side of the Civil War conflict since both sides have good people whom i've earned their trust and respect ever since escaping from Helgen.

 

Skyrim to me is about Good vs Evil and this mod seems to perfectly fit in.

Yeah I need to second this - anyone thinking of doing it? I have rudimentary modding skills but if people are interested maybe we could collaborate.

I've just sketched out a rough quest tree for starters - There would need to be a different intro (so other options for talking to the boy that trigger the dark brotherhood)

*then you kill astrid

*you report the crime (not as killing the 'leader' because you don't know)

*you are offered a commission into the PO, and given a basic quest to look into an assassinated solder marked with the black hand (bait)

*Eitherway an assassin from the DB (probably ambajorn) tries to kill you.

*Reporting back you get 'initiated' and need to take an oath, depending on stealth/magic/combat options you get a reward of a dagger/mage hood/imperial shield

*Next up you are tasked to spy on Motttiere who sources have suggested is not happy with the emperor and the white gold concordat

*you need to track him stealthily and listen to him speak to someone - turns out it was nothing. But something else needs your attention

*the civil war - you need to get the crown (at least) and help to ambush a nord wagon carrying weapons for the civil war

*you are then told about a suspicous death involving Muiris victim,

*when you find her and interrogate Muiri, she tells you about a dark elf who did the deed + whom she gave her ring to.

*asking at a local shop you find the description of the dark elf (gabrielle) who is staying in an inn.

*killing her there is a note about 'helping the shadowscale at the wedding in solitude'

*heading there you need to stop the assassination plot at the wedding

*assuming THAT goes off ok, then a while later you are contacted about arresting the fake gourmet in a sting operation.

*Confronting Festus (the gourmet!) he resists but his dying words revel the assassination of the emperor!

*the boat is being attacked by Nazir, Cicero and Babette (who transforms into Vampire-warform) as well as a couple of dark brotherhood mooks.

*fight through nazir and mooks to the boatswain who tells you where the emperor is and gives you the key to the forecastle of the boat

*fight through a couple of mooks to the emperor to confront babette who goes full monster

*Assuming you and the emperor survive, you are declared a hero of the empire and given some nice rewards.

*radiant quests involve killing stormcloaks, assassins, etc. Would have to think about that a bit more.
