I was actually more concerned about the farmhouse. I hate Lucian Lachance, he's a try hard Imperial talking like a Breton.

I do that with most of my chars. until I realised I didn't want his body littering the beautiful scenery.
Although on my current character - who is an Imperial Guard - I plan to get acceptance, and stop at the Purification. Because, as far as Abel knows, thats all of the members.

I sort of agree with you. I don't really find Lucien to be any kind of sympathetic character, nor do I find him to be really nice in anyway. I mean he'd kill you if he was told to in an instant I'm sure.

And it's sort of hard to be sympathetic for him since the guy who wanted to kill him, wanted to do so for vengeance against Lucien.

Sure the traitor was completely nutso in some ways, but Lucien's a murderer, he got what he had coming to him.

Though I suppose if you're in the dark brotherhood to begin with your character tends to be evil and like evil people like Lucien, so whatever.

I've had Luchien Both dead and alive at the same time

Somehow i stumbled upon a dead-drop under a bridge.. and from there on i could do the quests up until the point to where you enter the cottage and see his "new" appearance.
I just murdered my first innocent npc,and decided to sleep in that very cottage. and.. you guessed it: before i know LL is standing next to my bed, standing right next to his alter ego!

Wish i found out about the INI setting to enable screenshots earlier! :brokencomputer:

How do you know that the mother didn't kill a whole family, therin leading to her assassination? Hmmmm? Is that Justice?

Judging by the crazed dog and corpses in the basemant, and the fact the traitor was high ranking in the DB, he was probably a bad person, too.

Every time i play that quest i make sure to drop the traitors mothers head and drop it on the ground right in front of him. One time i froze him in the night mother's chamber and killed him slowly. So devious.

I recently completed the DB quest, and I was very upset about not being able to save Lucien. I felt a little better when my sister informed me that it was impossible to save him, so I hadn't failed or anything, but I was still sad. I hated Lucien at first, when he ordered me to kill everyone in the Cheydinhal sanctuary, but I came to like him later on. When he ran up to me like 'Betrayer!' I was sat there like :blink: 'Oh, what have I done now...?'

Well this has been a fascinating first post for me lol

First post? Well, have a http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll97/aheatpie/Fishystick.jpg, Hunch. Munch, munch.

I'm with the folks who care little for the membership of the Cheydinhal DB, though. They seem like shallow, degenerate psychopaths to me. Perhaps the Night Mother agrees, if you subscribe to the notion that the Night Mother is actually Mephala, and perhaps concocted the entire scheme her (his? its?) self.

Thanks for the Fishy Stick! I see that is is indeed true that new forum members are greeted in this way!
