I've been playin Skyrim for a couple years now. One thing I've never been able to figure out, even with the guidebook.( didn't buy it to cheat, it came with the copy bought) How do I join the Dark Brotherhood. Please don't tell me it's been right in front of my face the whole time

Go to an inn and see if the rumour regarding Aventus Aretino in Windhelm is triggered.

We know.


No, really, that's a hint.

Alternatively, Walk around Windhelm. Someone will mention it. Even the Guards have a talk about it.
