The Dark Brotherhood needs to be more cloak and dagger and less rubber and eyeliner. :ph34r:

A little tidbit, the color of the night, sanguine, is the medical color of blood.

Though they went a little overboard with making all of the Dark Brotherhood death worshippers, the quest where you assasinate the people in the manner while all the while turning them against each other makign them believe someone else is the murderer was probably my favorite in the game. Seeing as the Dunmer will have a strong prescence in Skyrim most likely I'd love to see Dark Brotherhood/Morag Tong as rival factions, only one being joinable by a single character.

We'll see the Dark Brotherhood, I think, but I doubt we'll see the Morag Tong (or what remains of it) again. Since Morrowind got nuked, I doubt they're still very much active, and if they are, it'll be on Solstheim.

Well, they could also be in Winterhold in Skyrim, according to the link in my sig, so why not bring back the Tonb/Brotherhood conflict, but this time you are on the DB's side instead. Or you could joint the MT and have to build it up in the face of fierce Dark Brotherhood opposition.

If the Morag Tong did survive as a group, they had to go somewhere. I wouldn't mind a nice bloody guild vs. guild war. :chaos:

There's has to be at least 1 evil faction, and The Dark Brotherhood is the main one.

Ugh. This is exactly what we don't need: annoyingly black and white factions that fit perfectly into opposite ends of the spectrum. Now my goody-two-shoes characters can be in their goody-two-shoes factions and my evil characters and be in their super evil factions! :facepalm:

And on the debate of which of the two organizations we'd like to see more: the Morag Tong is (was?) exclusive to and sanctioned only in Morrowind. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them to be in Skyrim. That said, we'll likely see the Dark Brotherhood again. I only hope Bethesda doesn't decide to again make them a bunch of annoying goth kids living in a cellar, giggling about their latest job and worshiping dark and evil things.

I'd love another "Whodunit?" quest like the one in Oblivion. :evil:

one of the best quests in the game rofl

Yes, my favorite faction of all TES games ever.
Nothing can describe the atmosphere the Dark Brotherhood had.

Lol we thirst for a new chapter too Swiftblade, when is DBC coming out?

» Tue May 17, 2011 11:28 am

The Dark Brotherhood had one of the better quest lines int Oblivion. They obviously enjoyed making it. I hope they expand on the scope a bit more though.

» Tue May 17, 2011 1:24 pm

I want:
- The Dark Brotherhood
- Morag Thong (HA!)
- Knights Who Say "Ni!"
- Order of the Stick
- League of Shaodws
- The Base
- The Mano Nera
- The Black Hand
- A M?o Negra
- Die Schwarze Hand

And a series of quests that allows you to put all of them in collision course. :chaos:

Um, The Black Hand is just the upper branch of The Dark Brotherhood. Basically, the executives.

*Hisses and claws*
When we say it's coming out. Let's not derail this topic. I'll post an update in the official DBC thread.

Well considering how the Brotherhood was left massivly crippled at the end, (The Dark Brotherhood Chronicles not included, of course.) you never know how things could have turned out. It could have gone either way. I don't know if Cyrodiil's Brotherhood would affect the status of other branches though.

The dark brotherhood, as I see it, is too decentralized to be affected by what happened in Cyrodiil, and probably for good reason.

Also, they need to be like the group in Daggerfall, an organization that has the monopoly of assassinations, and not a bunch of goth devil worshipers. Also, the Morag Tong wasn't that interesting as a group and questwise. I mean, wtf, they can kill people in plain sight! That takes no skill. Also, I'm tired of their so-called "honor." Nothing but a bunch of expensive assassins protected only because Vivec saved their asses after Reman III or whomever was assassinated.

And Skyrim is the birthplace of the Dark Brotherhood, so i doubt it wont be there. But yes Daggerfall was much better to the DB.

I'd LOVE to see the Morag Tong AND Dark Brotherhood in the game.

Choosing one or the other would be a requirement....or maybe you could choose both through some underhanded tactics??

» Tue May 17, 2011 5:39 am

I can only hope that this time they're more of a group of assassins than a comedy troupe.

They were a bit cliched with some of the members. But it still had a dark tone to it.

I don't want the Dark Brotherhood or the Morag Tong or anything with a goofy little gimmick to it.

I just want an Assassins Guild who people hire to kill other people. I don't need a cult or a Get Out Of Jail Free Card, just hire the guild to kill people.

That is the Dark Brotherhood (pre-Oblivion).

Go back to your hole and worship Mephala.

The Night Mother could be Melphala, there to screw around with both the Morag Tong and Dark Brotherhood, and the supposed Sithis is most likely an aspect of Lorkhan.

I know, I was providing that to rebuke his comment. I found it ironic that he was possibly worshiping Mephala, even as he made fun of us Morag Tong fans for our worship of Mephala. Then again that pretty much sums up modern religion, so whatever.

Did I really say that? I meant Vivec.

The whole reason the Dark Brotherhood was formed in the first place is because the Tong ditched Mephala for Vivec.
How I got the two mixed up is beyond me.

...no? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Dark Brotherhood a splinter group formed upon the craving for bloodshed? They did not want to abide by Dunmeri law, and therefor formed a group of their own, with more emphasis on killing and less on the rules the Morag Tong was strictly obliged.
