Destroying dark brotherhood

Post » Fri Aug 16, 2013 10:13 pm

I want to destroy dark brotherhood but i have some questions

1) Does it worth it?

2)Do certain quests like the one where you go to Hags end to search for a dead assassin occur?

3)Does the Katariah ship appear?

4)What happens to Cicero?

Hang on there big boy... That is too much detail for this forum. Hit the report button and ask a moderator to move this to the Spoiler Forum.

Spoiler
1) ehh... can get you some quick cash in the early game... but you miss out on some great gear... so its arguable

2) Nope, they do not

3) Nope, without you doing the questline the Emperor never has to visit Skyrim, so his ship is never present

4) disappears..

1- It's worth it if you don't want to join them and despise them.

2- They only appear should you join the Brotherhood and advance tbe questline. Cicero would be with that horse if you still haven't done the deed.

2. No
3. He disappears. I think.

Not worth it. It's like 30 minutes of gameplay whereas you'd get much more out of actually doing the questline. And you can't access the master alchemy trainer. And no horse. And no other rewards. I destroyed it and now I regret it

It's not that hard. Shield bash and stamina potion spam.

I went through it once. And tried to do it again, but I can't take the torchure anymore.

Between Three Dog's voice and that idiot Astrid? It's just too much.

I liked Nazir...

The DB is just too chaotically evil. I don't like the ending either as an Empire supporter.

Oh... Hell no! I first heard his voice and the only thing I could see every time I looked at him was that "Good Fight" bastard from FO3.

I admit, I did make an Imperial Nazir that had absolutely no voice file. He just stands there and shrugs his arms as the dialog options pop up... lol

I destroyed it with most characters, I prefer heavy armour anyway. Easy 3000 gold from Maro. I can now never get either Shadowmere or the Spectral Assassin but that doesn't bother me. I have Arvak so I don't need Shadowmere and there are plenty summon spells and shouts in the game that are stronger than the Spectral Assassin. Cicero just never shows up again if you destroy them although the one member of the DB that I would like to introduce to my Pa's Axe the most doesn't show up either. Hopefully the Vigilantes of Stendarr will get that vampire.

Your reward for destroying the Dark Brotherhood is 3,000 gold from Commander Maro. In addition, you can loot the following from the Dark Brotherhood members:

  • A leveled sword and a leveled war axe of the best possible quality for your level from Veezara
  • An enchanted battle-axe of the best possible quality from Arnbjorn (plus his usual Iron Battleaxe of Chills)

The other assassins have some leveled equipment during this quest that they don't carry otherwise, but it's not particularly memorable. You can loot two complete sets and one almost-complete set of Shrouded Robes, and two complete sets and one near-complete set of Shrouded Armor. You can also obtain Nazir's unique red-and-black Redguard clothing.

The Blade of Woe that you loot off of Astrid cannot be disarmed.

You will miss out on:

  • Muiri's hand in marriage and her ring
  • The unique bow Firiniel's End, Vittoria Vici's wedding outfit, and the Summon Spectral Assassin power
  • Ancient Shrouded Armor
  • Shadowmere, Jester's Clothes, and Cicero's Clothes
  • Nightweaver's Band
  • Jarrin Root and the Emperor's Robes
  • The large quantity of gold that you can make by completing the Dark Brotherhood questline, side contracts, and repeating "The Dark Brotherhood Forever"
  • Cicero and the Dark Brotherhood initiates as followers
  • Access to master-level training in Alchemy and Light Armor

By and large, though, the rewards that you'd receive for following the Dark Brotherhood questline are only of interest to a stealth-based character.

To answer your questions more specifically:

2) No, this quest is unavailable.

3) The Emperor and his ship never arrive in Skyrim.

4) Cicero disappears from the game.

Absolutely worth it. Filthy cultists. Just be sure to beat down Cicero and use the console to markfordelete and disable to ensure the complete destruction of their pitiful little band.

Firstly, you can't delete persistent references like unique actors (i.e., CiceroRoad).

Secondly, disabling things is a bad idea because quests can fail to start if actors involved are disabled.

If you destroy the dark brotherhood, there's no reason to have Cicero around. He's only used in the one quest at the farmhouse in that situation, so it won't cause any problems.

I hadn't tried deleting him, but disable works fine, which accomplishes the same thing.

Cicero is automatically disabled by failing "With Friends Like These"; there's no need to disable him yourself.

There's the satisfaction of "killing" him, which should have been an option to begin with.
