Me: I must adopt every child and give a coin to every beggar I come across
Also me: Stabby stabby time to join the brotherhood

[LordHayabusa]

Let me put it to you this way; Join the Dark Brotherhood, the Thieves Guild, the Mages’ College & the Companions. At the end of their quest lines you will be the leader of all four factions. Join the Stormcloaks, drive out the Empire, kill the Emperor & his cousin, in doing so you end the Mede Dynasty, ending the White-Gold Concordat. Use mods to become High King of Skyrim and marry Lady Miraak, in doing so you create the foundation of a new Empire and Dragonborn Lineage led Dynasty with control of the Major factions of Skyrim. With the Blades & Greybeards at your back and Dragons under your control via the Bend Will shout, Skyrim under your leadership becomes invincible.

Avarti: The dark brotherhood is very evil, and kill in brutal ways

Also avarti: There's a torture chamber in dawnstar sanctuary and it is fun to play around in

[velajuhel]

Me: I will be a good dragonborn
Also me: Joining almost every evil organization in the game

"was killed moments after marrying the love of her life"

me who plays hitman: *i should get a bonus for a creative kill*

I like how you get 20k for killing the emperor then the next quest is spending 19k the rebuild the dawnstar sanctuary. So basically you get paid 1k to kill an employer or leave the quest uncompleted in your journal

“The dark brotherhood kills in evil and sadistic ways... only adding to the misery of others”

“Yes, that’s why I’m here”

I always joined the brotherhood in every playthrough, but one time, I decided "Wait, I got all my gear, instead of killing these 3 innocent people, why don't I just turn around and kill astrid." So I did, and one shot her, and found out there's a whole questline for destroying the brotherhood. It was fun but sad that there's no shadowmere (Arvak best horse anyway).

Are you saying I shouldn’t join a group of sadistic assassins who kill by the orders of a rotting corpse, you’re crazy

[AsprinceRemix]

“There are many reasons why you shouldn’t join this group of sadist. Aside from the the fact that their leader is a complete idiot....”

Nice plug in for the Astrid video.

"You shouldn't join the dark brotherhood"
"The alternative to joining is extremely poor so you might as well join the dark brotherhood"

[gigaswardblade]

i cant help but notice how they always make you go after characters who you've likely made friends with (narfi, vittoria, nilsine, anoriath, etc) but leaves some of the most hated characters like nazeem and maven black briar alone. it wouldve been a lot better if there were more NPCs that players would actively hate who were contracts.

There isn't a single quest in all of Skyrim that is as fun as the Oblivion Dark Brotherhood quest "Whodunit, " where you are supposed to quietly kill all the attendees of a party in Skingrad.

[DarceyRecords]

That’s it. You’ve convinced me. I’m joining the dark brotherhood.

This guy talking about morals one minute, and the next he's showing some tortured victim getting shot in the crotch with an arrow and then prolongs their agony by healing them, just to do it all over again.

[Mr_NoBdy]

I like how at the very end, he pretty much boils it down to "yeah, killing people is not nice but you might as well do it because not doing it is a waste of time"

"The dark brotherhood tasks you with killing a poor insane beggar"
