Every time time I go into the abandoned shack,I always,ALWAYS kill astrid.I get very good gear off of her,and get the blade of woe very quickly.When I destroy the dark brotherhood though,it's barely even a struggle.I had a giant armored battle-tank and a sneaky khajiit sneak past them easily,and with them being the "feared dark brotherhood" I expected, more.And when you beat them,that's it.No repercussions,no dark brotherhood assassins sent after you,nothing. Anyone else feel this way?

Spoilers friend.

And yes, I was a little disappointed when you with the second route.

The Night Mother would probably thank you for weeding out the craven pretenders.

Its very very boring. I have only done that once because I wanted to see how it went.

Disappointing in the very least.

I do it so often... I just get so offended that she captures me against my will and tries to make me do things

Dark brotherhood assassins sent after you..... From where exactly? Should they pop out from thin air? The chapter in Skyrim is the last remaining chapter and oonce you kill them, that's it. Well, unless Cicero and Babette repopulate...

What did you expect though? sure its boring. but at least you have the option to do it.
