Morag Tong or Dark Brotherhood?

Who so you like more lore wise and game wise (cannon counts too)? I prefer the Morag Tong something about them just really appeal to me, I also think their honor code and outfits look cooler than Dark brotherhood ones.

I would like to see more of the morag tong in the games before really deciding if I like them. Their armor is much cooler than DB.

The most information we have on the Morag Tong is from TES3: Morrowind. Which isn't a ton other than that they really like Mephala.

I don't really like one more than the other. Though, from my experience with Oblivion (haven't played Skyrim DB yet), the DB has a tendency to lean towards the typical evil assassin's guild while the MT seems more scrupulous, which intrigues me. But I think it's great that we get them both in the same universe.

The dark brotherhood are yawn, especially with the Sithis and Night Mother worship. Without those two they would be something surprising! They would be competent yet with Sithis they turn into psychopathic death cult of idiots.

The Morag Tong is more structured and have a concept of honor and code, unlike the DB.

The DB isnt all that bad, if they could just tune down all that gothic/leather/dominatrix cr*p.

I know way to little about the Morag Tong to have an opinion in that matter...

Psychotic death cults are fun. The Dark Brotherhood quests are some of the most entertaining I've played through. Not everything has to be structured and nuanced. Not everything needs to be gray and ambiguous. Being wild and crazy and unapologetically evil can be a lot of fun too.

I agree. And that's why I'm glad we get both.

Just to clear something up. I was refering to the Dark Brotherhoods outfits, just like Zetman I enjoy psycho death cults in games... Sometimes you need crazy killers that worship crazy gods.
