168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Elder Scrolls 6 looms on the horizon like a frightened pigeon, circling the area but afraid to land for fear of being driven off. There are high expectations for Bethesda's next installment in arguably their most popular series. One thing players can be assured likely won't change in the future, though, are the factions the protagonist can join throughout Tamriel. Namely, the Dark Brotherhood.
This shadowy organization of assassins has always been a staple of these games and their popularity peaked for many players when The Elder Scrolls came to home consoles with Oblivion. With a whole new host of contracts and quests to take on, the Dark Brotherhood ingrained themselve⭕s in the minds of players for years to come. There are some quests in particular, though, that were more enjoyable than the rest.
10 The Renegade ꧒Shadowscale 𓂃
Teinaava gives the protagonist of Oblivio🐈n the opportunity to go after one of his fellow Argonians, a Shadowscale by the name of Scar-Tail. As explained by Teinaava and his sister Ocheeva, Shadowscales are Argonians born under the sign of the Shadow and sent to the Dark Brotherhood to train as assassins.
It is seen as a tradition and a rite of passage in Black Marsh, but Scar-Tail turned traitor and fled. The Hero of Kvatch can both learn a bit more about the customs of Tamriel's provinces and earn a nice bonus by completing this optional quest.
9 💞 Honor Thy Mother
Only available towards the end of the Brotherhood's questline, Honor Thy Mother picks up after Lucien Lachance has been strung up and mutilated by his fellow members of the Black Hand when they assume he was the traitor among them. After visiting the Night Mother's tomb beneath the Lucky Old Lady statue in Bravil, the matron of the Brotherhood chastises them for slaughtering Lachance, who was loyal to the end, proven by his return as a ghost in Skyrim. The real traitor then reveals himself.
When he has been dealt with, the Nigh🐎t Mother names the protagonist the new Listener and praises them for their loyalty and service to the Brotherhood.
8 A Watery🌌 Grave
Relatively early in the questline, Gaston Tussaud becomes the target of an assassination in the Imperial City and must be slain by the player to progress the Brotherhood's story.
A pirate captain surrounded by loyal followers, it is difficult to get to him without starting a fight, but the game provides the chance to hide inside a crate and emerge to kill Tussaud without alerting his people. It's quick and simple, and it introduces the Brotherhood's new assassin to the life of a killer.
7 T𓄧he Lonely Wa🥂nderer
Like most other quests, The Lonely Wanderer has a few different approaches the player can take. Tasked with eliminating a High Elf named Faelian, the Hero of Kvatch can learn that he iꦆs actually a skooma addict and spends most of his time at the house of another man.
If the bonus is to be earned for this quest, Faelian must be given a bottle of skooma and followed to Lorkmir's house where he can be murdered without any witnesses. Disturbingly, Lorkmir can be found in the basement, presumably having been murdered by Faelian over a bottle of skooma.
6 ✨ The♏ Assassinated Man
Francois Motierre contacts the Brotherhood with an unusual request, as he does not wish to have somebody killed. Rather, he wants the Hero to help him fake his own death due to the fact that there is somebody else on the way to his house to kill him. Hides-His-Heart, a nasty Argonian mercenary, has been sent to murder him over some debts he never𝓡 repaid.
To grant Motierre's request, the player has been provided with a blade coated in langourwine, a poison that will cause the body to give the appearance of being dead, as well as the antidote to bring him back the next day. It's an interesting change of pace after a few cut and dry assassinations, though Motierre's family reanimating in his crypt after he is given the langourwine antidote might come as an unwelcome surprise.
5 𝐆 Permanent Retirement
Ocheeva offers this contract to the player, where Adamus Phillida of the Imperial Legion has been marked for death by the Brotherhood themselves due to his history of trying to take them down. ꦏAfter retiring to Leyawiin, Phillida is a hard tﷺarget to eliminate due to the fact that he wears his armor almost constantly.
However, using the Rose of Sithis provided by Ocheeva, Phillida can be executed during his daily swim as the unique arrow instantly kills those it is used on who are unarmored. Otherwise, he can be killed in his sleep or simply fought mano-a-mano, though the latter is not advised as he is incredibly strong and the city's guards will intervene and assist him (unless you've got mods installed to help, of course).
4 Schedu💝led For Execution
You will no doubt remember Valen Dreth, the mouthy Dark Elf from the prison at the game's beginning who mocked you and insisted you were going to die behind bars.
If seeing him remain trapped and protesting while you escaped with the Emperor wasn't satisfying enough, this contract allows you, as a new assassin, to break back into the prison and kill Dreth. Be warned, though, that the route to the cells is peppered with guards who are not to be trifled with, and getting both in and out of the prison is no easy feat.
3 👍 Accidents Happen 🅘
In the🍌 northern city of Bruma, the Wood Elf Baenlin has become the target of a new contract for the Dark Brotherhood. Once again, he can be killed in pretty much any way, but the client has requested that the minotaur head above his chair be loosened so it will fall on him,💮 killing him instantly.
His manservant must also be left alive if the bonus is to be claimed, but it is worth going to extra mile for both the reward and the satisfaction of orchestrating Baenlin's death without actively taking part in it.
2 The Purification 🍸
About halfway through the Brotherhood's questline, Lucien Lachance contacts the Hero of Kvatch and instructs them to meet with him. After informing them that there is a traitor at the Cheydinhal Sanctuary, it is up to the player to perform the Purification, a sacred act carried out to preserve the sanctity of the Brotherhood by wiping out an entire sanctuary.
Lachance assures the player that those who are innocent will have their souls sent to the Void to join Sithis (a mysterio﷽us entity who is reminisc🔯ent of but distinct from the Daedric Princes) as they have always been loyal to him, while the traitor will be killed. With different spells, poison apples, and all kinds of tools to choose from, there is a myriad of ways to carry out this Purification. A shame the traitor wasn't even there.
1 Whodunit?
This quest plays like a twisted love letter to Agatha Christie's murder mysteries. After entering 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a house full of unusual NPCs and having the door locked behind them, the Hero must slaughter each and every one of the strangers, but they are spoiled for choice on how to go about it. It might be easier to simply go in guns blazing so to speak, but there are much more nefarious ways to complete the contract. After secretly killing a single guest, the others will all become paranoid and nervous as trust breaks down between th🅠em.
Using their personal stories and flaws to manipulate them, the player can turn them all against one another before picking almost all of them off one by one. When only two remain, if one of them has been befriended they can be urged to kill the third guest under the assumption that they are the killer. Then, with only one guest left thinking they are safe, the Hero can strike and see out the contract. It's way more fun than it should be and there hasn't quite been a Dark Brotherhood quest like it before or since.
