Seriously, what is the point? So you become a cannibal, in a game where you're probably already a vampire or a werewolf. I'm not seeing it here.

It's creepy and I hate it.

Probably either to provoke a visceral reaction or as something to role play a change in a charatcer off of.

To me it just provokes disgust and contempt..

A lot of the Daedric quests make you pretty evil this time out. And Sheogorath's is weird even by his standards.

Yep. Some of the Daedra in Skyrim are nasty by any standards except for Azura, Nocturnal and Meridia. Sheo is strange and Sanguine and Malacath were actually entertaining. The rest were slimy and not to be trifled with.

I dunno, I was pretty excited when I found out I could be a cannibal without changing my form in any way.

Makes it more demented, as you're giving into your own depravity instead of your "nature" as a vampire or werewolf.

What's the point?

Almost all my characters grab that at the start of the game. An easy +50 Stamina at level 1 is awesome.

A Bosmer could get away with it, possibly, but for other races this seems like a quest only for those who RP someone who's seriously disturbed. Or don't RP at all and just stare at the bonus the ring gets.

Pretty much sums it up in my book.

I like the quest because it lets me wipe out a bunch of sick freaks in Markarth with zero penalty, plus the keys to their homes and businesses to take whatever shiny trinkets and doodads might appeal to me.

Plus, I make Markarth just slightly less of a cesspool.

I don't have a problem with the cannibal quest because I'm given options. It's the evil deity quests where I have to reload a prev save to get out of it that annoy me. I was stuck in some quest to do with cultists recently that made cannibals look like spring rainbows in comparison. I know this quest leads to some really neat poison armor but I'm not sacrificing anyone I don't want to kill. I'm the dragonborn. I decide who lives or dies not some puffed up ego god.

Ah, adding salt to the enemy's wound by eating their remains.

I'm going to bring Werewolves up.

What if that person was a werewolf? What's the difference between a werewolf doing this and the Dragonborn?

They both have bloodlust. They both have the need for meat(you can RP that for the Dragonborn, as you said)

I'm not really sure if I'm right about this one, but here goes:

Werewolves are just as consious as if it were a human/elf/beast. Or at least, towards fellow Werewolves. Aela not smashing you around the Underforge, just to feed herself.

In Fallout you can kind of justify it. There's no food around, you're weakened, and there happens to be a dead body around...

I know I already posted but I'm bringing Vampires up to make it even. The way some vampires in Volkihar castle behave they might as well be cannibals and that disgusts me. The reason vampires are more respectable is we don't kill our prey. Even chicken n gravy humans can't manage that. I'm tired of being considered beast-like and being lumped in with monsters and degradants.

I see no difference between werewolves, cannibals, and humans. You're all meat eaters.

Then stop being a monster and eat your meat. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

ha I've made a beastly Orc who's such a character: He eats fresh flesh of the fallen, eats still-beating hearts in beast form, eats the souls of dragons, his mace from Lord Bal drinks the souls of everything else and stores them in the Black Star...he's a destroyer and a devourer with an insatiable appetite for life, maybe he should be the new Gourmet

Drinking the blood of a human/humanoid species that you are or are related to is right in line with cannibals...you're no less a monster because you use a straw and don't drink it all

We got the ring in Oblivion too.

You could become a vampire in that game as well so . . .

Let's say I needed a heart transplant from kin to survive... would that be repulsive? Yet on a medical table the other person would die. It's death without a fight that's evil. The body fluids are just a source of regeneration. And vamps don't nibble on their kids since taking in blood is akin to six tho I assume you meant feeding from Dunmer since I'm Dunmer.

i agree, if you by any chance play a bosmer it fits pretty well

i had a Dunmer who was a pretty messed up character and eating persons was fun to him

It's one of the most disgusting and therefore memorable quests. It's interesting. Is it not enough of a point?

I only used it with a character who was a Bosmer and disturbed. Every other Bosmer I played had enough sense not to eat corpses outside Valenwood. When in Rome...

Vampires and werewolves are different, especially in their beast form. They have a bloodlust that's not altogether human.

This is how I see it too. When I played as a werewolf, I imagined that the animal instincts took the lead when in beast form. She knew the difference between friends and foes, but she acted like a wolf and didn't consider herself as the same species as human (not that she could form that thought in her werewolf mind, but she would never feed on another werewolf). And then she turned back to human with the taste of blood in her mouth, not sure what had happened...

Is it wrong for a Khajiit to eat a Nord?

Not in small amounts, to much can give health problems like all junk food
