The Dark Brotherhood : V - Skyrim

» Tue May 17, 2011 8:41 am

...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.

One of many theories. The one I go by seems more logical than the others.

Did not the Black Hand of our Tamrielic lord Sithis not tell us that there are Dark Brotherhood sanctuaries in all major cities (Even though it was said it was never implemented)? Furthermore if you did listener quests you'd see that at least one of the slips was for a Nord and was to be delivered to a sanctuary in Skyrim.

Since it has been officially confirmed by Todd Howard that they actually do read these forums, I have a message for the fine folks at Bethesda Softworks.

I swear on the hanging corpse of Lucien Lachance, if The Dark Brotherhood is not in Skyrim, you will all suffer terrible consequences. The specifics of said consequences, however, are unknown at this time.

Never leave out The Dark Brotherhood. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis.

I agree with you so much.The brotherhood was such an epic story line that it deserves an encore BIG time.Hopeflly it dont start over and you can leave off.Thats wahat i hope to see in skyrim is pretty much oblivions son.Takeing after him in many ways(if that makes sense) lol.

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

"medical colour"?

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

I did not finish any questline so, I forgot that htere was sth like this.

Black Hand is simply "Mano Nera" traduzido do Italiano.

Maybe they are called the NORDIC BROTHERHOOD in Skyrim.

Thank you for enlightening me. I am less familiar with the Dark Brotherhood than I am with the Morag Tong (I'm a Morrowind fanatic :wink_smile: ). This does seem fairly logical, but both theories have the same roots: Being fed up with a guild because of anti-murder policies, and forming another to satisfy that same craving for bloodshed.

Bump for the developers. :lol:

the oblivion dark brotherhood was to stupid though, they didnt mention sithis- they banged on about it. not to mention how over the top the voice acting was.all lines in lucien's voice was "i am DEEPLY serious and mysterious, behold how my voice doesnt make me sound like a creep"

Happy fun time story....time:
I accidentally killed someone and went to bed. When Lucien first spoke to me, I heard that voice and immediately began to skip everything he had to say and killed him right where he stood. His voice made me think he was going to r*** me. And they all lived happily ever after. THE END

Don't worry, the DB will be in Skyrim. An assassin's guild has been in 3/4 of the TES main games and two of those had the dark brotherhood.

Isn't it a good thing when the creepy character's voice acting legitimately creeps you out? Because, its supposed to be creepy?
Personally felt the DB questline in Oblivion was fun, if not a little hammy(how could people that crazy not get caught, let alone run a proper organization?), but the hammy-ness grows on ya, in the endearing sort of way.

The Dark Brotherhood + Radiant Story = Win?

» Tue May 17, 2011 2:00 pm

The Dark Brotherhood will be there, but i wonder if the morag tong will still be around.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Morag Tong were sanctioned by the empire, and operated almost exclusively in Morrowind which has changed a lot in the centuries leading up to SKyrim.

You do realize Sithis is a padomaic force, right?

The Morag tong mostly operate in Morrowind, i doubt we will see much of them in skyrim unless they have creeped across the border in the last 200 years.

» Tue May 17, 2011 1:58 am

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

yeah..........the DB questline was the best in oblivion but the DB members with the exception of vicente and lucien were all psychotic nutjobs.......and we all know that psychotic nutjobs are the most reliable employees. :bonk:

i hope they make the next chapter of the DB more like the morag tong from morrowind. those were professional assassins who treated their jobs like.......jobs. not a part time hobby. some of them didnt even make sense ingame. the orc supposedly killed everyone at a birthday party. im not a lore freak but last time i checked the best DB murders were the ones that they had suspicions about but couldnt prove. why would you have someone that unreliable and unprofessional on your team to begin with. i was really disappointed cause the DB was the guild that i wanted to like the most since i play those types of characters.

it would be nice if they had a morag tong vs DB questline since dumner are supposedly moving into skyrim in droves. i would gladly help the morag tong wipe out the amateurish DB.

I think he specifically means the wraith called "The Wrath of Sithis"

Naw, it was too creepy for my tastes. Plus I wanted to just flat out kill Lucien

It's a possibility. I mean they are right there to the east and its been 200 years. Maybe they'll operate in a small portion in the east side of skyrim and the dark brotherhood will dominate the west.

I want:
- The Dark Brotherhood
- Morag Thong
- 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:

ANY Monty Python reference would be most excellent.

HELL YEAH! Nice to see a brother for once!

» Tue May 17, 2011 8:46 am

The Dark Brotherhood is empire wide and doesn't need the empire to operate. They definitely will be in the next game.

"remove Spell scrolls from game"? You sir can lick the underside of what is now my sports cup.

» Tue May 17, 2011 7:41 am

Please, a time of civil war, great political upheaval, and cutthroat diplomacy and you think the DB will not have a hand in it? I expect their sideplot to be very strong in this game. The events unfolding in Skyrim would certainly make them very busy.

» Tue May 17, 2011 2:07 am

Of course the DB will we in this game...they might dump 3 skills, but they will never dump the DB...WILL THEY?
