Just got done with the entire questline; it was awesome. Although quests in the very beginning were bland, as soon as the initiation phase was over and events rolled into the main story, momentum quickly built up and it did not let go until the end. Dialogue with the NPCs is refreshing; it isn't the same bland rewash and so my interaction with each dark brotherhood member felt unique. Great characters, good action and a few twists make this line a worthy one. Everyone should try it, even if your character is 'good'. Iono, make up an excuse for your character when you finish if you must keep the role playing congruent, something like 'I was seduced by the dark side, now my character is on a journey to find redemption'.

What did you guys think.

I seriously thought I was playing a whole separate game when I did this questline. I usually will jump around different story lines to keep from completing them too soon (for me). This one I pretty much played through once I started. It was fantastic.

Love it as well

Far better than the other quest lines!

I cleared the Dark Brotherhood questline in Oblivion, and, well, by finding redemption; I turned on them and wiped them out
Looking forward to the DB quests in Skyrim, but for the time being they are sending bounty hunters after me.

Looking forward the clean skyrim of them ^^

bwuh? the dark brotherhood was a campy parody of an assassin's guild. it relied on the same basic "twist" of the DB in oblivion, as well as jumping to that tired drama point of assassinating the president. these "characters" of yours were only fun because they are as psychotically-minded as the average gamer when playing a sandbox game, not because they were actual good characters.

the whole plot revolves around circumstance and entirely unexplained events and motivations. i GUESS it was more fun than the companions... cant say much else in favor of it.

Yeah ive done every one of the questlines so far, and i must say the dark brotherhood was the most well written and just pure awesome questline.

Agreed, that was the only problem I had. Other then that the questline was amazing far better then the theives guild. Although is was disappointed I didn't get any super special armor for completeing it.

I consider it pretty [censored]e. One, you have absolutely no control over the questline and after deciding to join the Brotherhood you can't turn on them: they're essential (ie. immortal).



Two, it doesn't make a speck of sense.



Three, there's absolutely no context or reasonable rationale given for the questline.

I just killed in the Dawnstar sanctuary and so far I think that sending you to the imperial guy was a lame choice for the progression of their questline. Seems like an easy option for the Guilds storyline to be written easily.

glad you liked it. i havent played it yet, my character's a goody two shoes

Cicero : Best friends forever!!
Dragonborn: :cryvaultboy:

It was fun killing Cicero he last fool was classic

Didn't play oblivion, but at least there is emotional attachment. Yes, they were cool.

Best questline of all the guilds.

Oh, there will be blood.

like I said make up an excuse :whistling:

Same! It was awesome.

I did find the whole unexplained thing frustrating. But other parts of the questline makes up for this.

I primarily like that some darkbrother hood characters are much more developed compared to other npcs. Cicero had 5 books about him. All the characters had way more lines of dialogue and on the whole more unique, I particularly liked the werewolf and found what he said + his explaination quite funny.



This is just unfounded and more due to your own conception of how others react. By saying this, you are classifying me as the average gamer which is an unfounded assumption. Furthermore, it might not even be true that the average gamer think this way. Please be more responsible when staking claims.

I might have joined them but they pissed me off;

1). They sent assasains after me for unknown reasons when I was a lower level.

2)

3) I didn't like the ultimatum they give you when you meet the Brotherhood for the first time....so I killed them all.

In the game world I am kind to bunnies and kill everything else that annoys me.

It was fun, possibly the greatest of the guild questlines. (I haven't finished Thieves Guild and College of Winterhold, and I expect awesomeness from those too)
It was a bit short, and I'd prefer more casual assassination jobs. A remake of "Whodunit", "The Lone Wanderer" and "Accidents Happen" would make me fall in love.
Everything seemed to either be about the storyline, or just small jobs given by Nazir. (Why did I have to kill Narfi, he was way awesome)

It's awesomely short as well.
