About the main quest : V

» Mon Mar 11, 2013 3:01 pm

While am interested in this DLC and have spoiled myself plenty because of it, I do have one concern that is holding me back from actually buying it.

My main (THE main) character is the morally upright sort, so is it possible to get through the main quest without having to pledge yourself to questionable daedric lords and forced to do equally questionable things? So as not to get into a debate on what is considered morally upright and so on think of 'good' and 'evil' as defined by DnD terms.

Sorta.

Technically, you MUST bargain with HM to defeat Miirak. In order to defeat Miirak, you need to bring a certain someone to HM. The good news is that the man understands the reason he needs to be brought to HM, and will willingly follow you (provided you've done a certain quest for him.) While he is killed by HM, there's no way you, or the guy, could know this in-game.

Also, I'd imagine your main is having a difficult time with Skyrim, as a lot of the content runs on Grey-and-Black morality. Wanna adopt some children? You need to kill the Rhymes-with-witch who runs the orphanage before you can, kickstarting the Dark Brotherhood questline. Which you can subsequently destroy. Blades Vs. Greybeards. Civil War. The Companions. Really, several of the sidequests, a good chunk of Skyrim's Mainquest, Dawnguard, and the College of Winterhold have clear-cut Good vs. Evil to it.
