I went through the quest line just to kill Cicero because he killed my neighbor Loreius. Then I took all the money from the emperor job and left them in ruins. Cicero ruined my save file and that was the only way you kill him.
I actually have a character that took the Destroy the Dark Brotherhood path. My reason for doing it is because DB assassins kept coming at me, and I wasn’t having it.
Funny enough, one of the reasons I destroyed the Dark Brotherhood in Skryim is because I didn't recognize them as the real brotherhood. Also, I was still salty about killing the Draconis family in Oblivion. I remember leaving the sanctuary saying I was the only Assassin in Skyrim.
"You want the Thalmor to conquer everything." I support the Empire all day, but I will never tolerate the Thalmor and will lead the Empire to destroy them whenever they can.
I honestly hated the dark brotherhood storyline. I kinda like my gameplay to fit my character, and I didn't know that I would have to kill the emperor in this storyline. I'm joined the empire, so it don't make sense to me. Also, I lost more money paying off my bounties than I gained doing jobs in the dark brotherhood. Thieves guild and Companions treated me better.
Well you get to choose if your loyalty is stronger towards Sithis or the empire The only bounty I ever got was for the wedding quest in Solitude because I stalked around, waited until they were alone or sleeping like a true assassin
Stormcloak supporter. Hated the quest line EXCEPT killing the Emperor. Death to monarchies! Yes I know Ulfric is a Jarl (and later high king) but at least he earned it in battle unlike Titus Mede who earned it because his daddy or mommy or brother or something was emperor.
I'm an empire supporting argonian. I'm ok with killing the emperor. He's a good man, but a bad leader. If he resigned it would give the elves even more leverage in calling the empire weak. But a legendary assassin spilling his guts? That's a fate not even the greatest men can escape forever. "I prove maro a fool yet again. You can't stop the dark brotherhood...never could". It's a morally gray decision but it makes sense if you look at the political situation under a microscope. It's like ulfric killing torygg. It wasn't great, but it was necessary. Torygg was a good man, but a poor king. I kill ulfric and the stormcloaks because they're making skyrim bleed when it needs to heal. Skyrim needs unity. Tamriel needs unity. The empire did skyrim well for hundreds of years until now. It's only with recent events that it's failed miserably. It needs reformed not vanquished. Anyone one who says they're a stormcloak has probably only played skyrim, or they don't care...which...fair, hats off to you casual gamers
I planned to join the empire, but decided to do Dark Brotherhood first and when a guy said that he wanted to kill someone important i was like "please, not Ulfric!", but his suggestion was even worse... After finishing Dark Brotherhood reloaded to a moment before joining and finished Empire side without joining Dark Brotherhood.
I destroyed it... in my second playthrough. In my first I accidentally joined (after a while I began roleplaying as an Argonian who tried getting a better life in Skyrim but then just everything came spiralling down) but luckily I was an orc in my second so killing Astrid was easy

On my very first playthrough, I didn't want to kill the people tied up.. because I'm a nice Khajit. So, I unrelenting forced her off that shelf and ended her miserable existence.
My Dragonborn is a master thief, would anyone think killing off the dark brotherhood would ultimately be more profitable? I mean, citizens wouldn’t have to worry about a hit put out on them so they’d be less on alert with mere thieves running around. Also, siding with the empire would keep trade coming more efficiently and there’d be more money to keep the potential profit from becoming stagnant, so why would killing the emperor help in any way? Sure it’d probably mean something for high ranking government officials but what about the honest thieves who need the empire running to keep their pockets full? Idk someone help me rationalize this
You're right about the Empire. Alvor actually tells you that Nord's still worshipped Talos privately until Ulfric drew attention to Skyrim and gave the Thalmor an excuse to send in their Justiciars and various other soldiers.
Hay btw fun fact, when you kill Ulfric Lehate Rikke seas something along the lines of "Talos Take you" proving that talos warship is still in the empire! So you are right :)
@@tritonlefebvre2294 she says "talos be with you". But Tullius says "What was that legate?" But pretended not to hear it, because he doesn't care who people worship.
Fun fact if you attack Cicero in front of Shadowmare the horse will aggro you... also Lucien LaChance has some special dialogue regarding Cicero, you are spot-on with your assessment.
POV: you’ve already completed the dark brotherhood quest line and are watching just cuz you’re bored and he sounds like a crazy Irish lad and enjoy him saying other as “utter”…. #HailSithis 🩸
Shadowmere was kinda useless in oblivion because you didn't have to worry about slow movement speed or items weighing you down much as an agile speedy assassin who moves faster than the horse
But the quest rewards is basically just at the very end the blade of woe, 20k septims, infinite night mother quests for some gold now and again but that's about it
@@taxevasion0336 I didn't know Shadowmere could respawn in skyrim! Based on my initial play! I was sad that I lost him.. but most of the dark brotherhood bonuses are about gold! Well once you master the art of alchemy and in chanting... it isn't about gold anymore! Definitely the best horse in the game! But unlike his oblivion counterpart, totally killable!
I disagree with any dark brotherhood to refuse killing the emperor no matter what the situation, a contract is a contract, they don't care about keeping the world safe from the thalmor or any sort of threat, even without astrid and a true dark brotherhood like the one in Oblivion they should take the contract. Their evil, if the thalmor do manage to rid the world of men that just means the next dark brotherhood will be full of elves. I get what you mean though the dark brotherhood should abide by Sithis and the tenants. For me it's super simple, want an evil character join the brotherhood, want to be a good character destroy the dark brotherhood, want to just play a game and get all the stuff you can join the brotherhood.
I destroyed them first. But then I hated being a good guy. My original khajiit character joins them just so he could return it back to its glory days. The days of his kahjiit grandfather gav'ar the hero of kvatch.
Oh I'm glad I searched up a video on it. I had no idea you could destroy The Dark Brotherhood. Glad I didn't get too far and can go back and kill Astrid instead of staying in the guild
What would make this questline more interesting would be if the one who wished to assassinate the emperor had ties to the stormcloaks, or ties to the original Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion. Another thing that would make this experience better is should you decide to kill the dark brotherhood, you are given a series of quests to prevent assassinations before they happen, tracking down each member before they can complete their task. And at the end of it, you ultimately fail to save the emperor, because the vampire child in the dark brotherhood tricked you into thinking she was a captive and kills the emperor.
Wait a second......doesn't Astrid die and you become the leader of the dark brotherhood, and you go bact to the old ways (BASICALLY GIVING THE DARK BROTHERHOOD A LITARAL RESTART) Btw I think Festus Krex is also one of the more REAL dark brotherhood people...and Veezara doesn't even beleave in sithis! But anyway we can all agree that Astrid sucks :) (thanks for reading all dis Lol)
I wonder what elder scroll 6 will do for the dark brotherhood? If you destroy them they are basically wiped out completely, are they just gonna make one ending cannon and forget about the other?
@@taxevasion0336 if only they do what cdpr did with the witcher 3 at the start of the game, basically answering questions to make whatever you choose to be canon, canon
actually the emperor ordered his own execution. when you finally get to him he's calm and knew you were coming. fudgemuppet or camelworks(can't remember which) did a pretty good job explaining the idea.
As the Dragonborn it is your duty to kill anyone you can who is condescending towards you and Astrid is condescending towards you Also I join the Stormcloaks because I want to destroy the realms of man then there would be no more guards and I can steal all the sweetrolls in peace
When you think about it, the nords of Skyrim (if not leaded by ulfric) won the civil war, they could forge an alliance with hammerfell, high rock, and morrowind and beat back the thalmor
Morrowind isn't in a state to fight, High Rock is loyal to the Empire and Skyrim sucks in both manpower and the capability to sustain armies. A lot of the food of Skyrim comes from Cyrodiil
I never liked the entire dark brotherhood team, questline and felt gross doing the whole thing. Even once you complete it all they never go away. I feel much better doing away with them all and continuing the game
The Empire isn't falling apart. The Southern border is secured and fortified, a Legion is gathering at Pale Pass to clean the Stormcloaks and the Emperor wants to die because HE ordered the Black Sacrament to be done in the first place, to have someone (probably Rexus) be named Emperor after him with a clean reputation and a young, strong and capable Emperor
@@kindaedgy3548 They signed the treaty because they needed to recover. The Empire was exhausted, but you have to remember that humans recover way faster than elves. 20 years have passed, and in those years a new generation of Legionaries, mages and generals has risen to take the place of the previous one, while the Thalmor can't hope to recover their mages, who take hundreds of years to master their art. General Tullius tells the Dragonborn after the Siege of Windhelm that the true war is about to start... this time against the true enemy. If Hammerfell joins the Empire in the war and having in count that the Thalmor lost the Orb of Vaermina... the Thalmor should be fucked
@@kenobi6257 yeah I kinda got the first point before, it's just that my logic was that the empire retreating meant they lost too many men, and could no longer fight back. But after what you explained, I'm pretty convinced they'd be able to eliminate the thalmor
@@kindaedgy3548 Well, thank you ^^. TESlore's videos about the Great War help a lot with this, a lot of people forget that the Empire signed the peace after a massive victory at the Battle of the Red Ring
The corrupted empire needs darkbrotherhood to make it pure again, Titus knows it and arranged his own assassination or at least He knows its necessary for the empire,join the brotherhood that is how history works.
@@shadowstrider5033 your not wrong, the thieves guild and most of the guild questlines in skyrim don't make a whole lot of since. The most concrete to me was The Companions.
I really like the Oblivion dark brotherhood, it has some of my favorite quests the contract that you get to kill faelian, Valen dreth. Skyrim really didn't have any good contracts. Nothing that felt as satisfying as killing Valen dreth or as good as whodoneit.
I destroyed the dark brotherhood for multiple times until one of my Nord character was assaulted by a dark brotherhood assassin who got sent by that Astrid b**ch, so I started the quest, "innocence lost" and after being dragged to that shack, I immediately killed her and freed the captives.
@[ . ] it will eventually pay for itself, due to those torture victims you get. With between 4000 and 8000 Septims every few weeks, you'll get the money back.
So question here, can the dark brotherhood even deny a contract? Even if it's the emperor and it's bad for the future of the political scape of the entire world?
Funny enough- it’s Ironically Astrid that is pro-imperial by wisening up and stopping the initial Emperor’s execution by alerting Commander Maro (yes I’m aware he’s imperial too, but not of the legion, just of the Emperor’s guard) to also prolong the Dark Brotherhood’s existence… even if she doomed it by killing the guy’s son. Still, she kept the leader intact.
In the end the listener (the player) starts rebuilding the brotherhood with Babette and Nazir who confessed their sins and vile choices against sithis and the night mother. So by the time of the brotherhood in the dawnstar sanctuary they r rebuilding back up to the dark brotherhood we all know and love. Plus both festus and vezeera admit to the player that Astrid needs to change her ways of leadership. So whatever you do don't destroy the brotherhood.
Actually that's something that's like loop. You still get encounter on them. Ceciro ok the other hand got no clue cause on the first run in whiterun you will meet ceciro. The questions arise if you end the dark brotherhood. Can you glitched to the dawnstar sanctuary and be attacked by him
Is it possible to destroy the DB after you joined them? I would not want to waste all the goodies and that you find in the sanctuary when you join. Also, the Blade of Woe.
I decided to destroy the Dark Brotherhood, because they’ve sent three assassins after me, so why would I join them? When Astrid gave me the option to kill one of the hostages to join them, I just simply told her “fuck you” and killed her instead.
Wasn't the whole plot of oblivion that without a sentiment on the throne, Nirn was vulnerable to daedric invasion? Can't help but think that killing the emperor can NOT have good consequences for the world at large.

When you think about it, the nords of Skyrim (if not leaded by ulfric) won the civil war, they could forge an alliance with hammerfell, high rock, and morrowind and beat back the thalmor
Morrowind isn't in a state to fight, High Rock is loyal to the Empire and Skyrim sucks in both manpower and the capability to sustain armies. A lot of the food of Skyrim comes from Cyrodiil
I did not even know that you could destroy the dark brotherhood before i joined it and complete the whole questline
Fun vid. Astrid is cool and has a sexy voice, but admittedly so does Cicero. I would hate to miss out on all the murders, though.
I never liked the entire dark brotherhood team, questline and felt gross doing the whole thing. Even once you complete it all they never go away. I feel much better doing away with them all and continuing the game
Give you a reason? Let me finish counting my gold and I'll get back to how many reasons I can give
The emperor actually wants to die. He gladly accepts his death when you reach his quarters. The empire is falling apart
The Empire isn't falling apart. The Southern border is secured and fortified, a Legion is gathering at Pale Pass to clean the Stormcloaks and the Emperor wants to die because HE ordered the Black Sacrament to be done in the first place, to have someone (probably Rexus) be named Emperor after him with a clean reputation and a young, strong and capable Emperor
@@kenobi6257 guess so. I guess I assumed it was because of the treaty they signed with the thalmor
@@kindaedgy3548 They signed the treaty because they needed to recover. The Empire was exhausted, but you have to remember that humans recover way faster than elves. 20 years have passed, and in those years a new generation of Legionaries, mages and generals has risen to take the place of the previous one, while the Thalmor can't hope to recover their mages, who take hundreds of years to master their art. General Tullius tells the Dragonborn after the Siege of Windhelm that the true war is about to start... this time against the true enemy. If Hammerfell joins the Empire in the war and having in count that the Thalmor lost the Orb of Vaermina... the Thalmor should be fucked
@@kenobi6257 yeah I kinda got the first point before, it's just that my logic was that the empire retreating meant they lost too many men, and could no longer fight back. But after what you explained, I'm pretty convinced they'd be able to eliminate the thalmor
@@kindaedgy3548 Well, thank you ^^. TESlore's videos about the Great War help a lot with this, a lot of people forget that the Empire signed the peace after a massive victory at the Battle of the Red Ring
*_Sithis wants to know your location_*
Have you considered that the Emperor himself may actually set up the contract to be killed from behind the scenes?
I joined them once, in my first playthrough, and in every playthrough after that I've destroyed them.
Long live the Emperor.
You know, a nice purge just might be what this sanctuary needs.
The corrupted empire needs darkbrotherhood to make it pure again, Titus knows it and arranged his own assassination or at least He knows its necessary for the empire,join the brotherhood that is how history works.
The funny thing is I never joined the dark brotherhood. And then seeing how easy it was to kill them all they were loosy assassins anyway.
Because poor little Aventus
Thieves Guild all the way!
At least the Thieves Guild has a no-kill policy. BUT, they are still thieves.
True. Hail Nocturnal!
The most nonsensical b.s. storyline in the game.
@@shadowstrider5033 your not wrong, the thieves guild and most of the guild questlines in skyrim don't make a whole lot of since. The most concrete to me was The Companions.
@@willsword8100
I refused to become a furry, so......
I really like the Oblivion dark brotherhood, it has some of my favorite quests the contract that you get to kill faelian, Valen dreth. Skyrim really didn't have any good contracts. Nothing that felt as satisfying as killing Valen dreth or as good as whodoneit.
u literally kill the empeoeor
Why would I kill astrid who is my second fav character besides delphine
Do any mods improve the destroy the dark brotherhood quest?
>Why you should destroy the Dark Brotherhood
>Hard decision
Mephala: "lol"
Very good editing on this video btw
Just so you know, your love of Cicero got you the 700th like on this video.
Wait the biggest question is does ceciro attacks us if we Dovahkin end it. Never seen ceciro after the termination of DB.
I wish the Vampire girl in the DB would do contracts ha ha. Imagine seeing her take out an adult ha ha ha.
Vampire girl wants to know your location.
If u find the(worn gloves. ) That do dubal back stab damage in chant them they can have 3 in chant meets on them.
Can I get shadowmere even if I destroy the dark brotherhood
Wallenby The first probably not
If on PC through console cheats only.
How do u do cinematics on skyrim?
Only brotherhood members worth their salt are Cicero, Festus, and Gabriella. Only three who actually give a crud about the old ways
3:01 just my type
I destroyed the dark brotherhood for multiple times until one of my Nord character was assaulted by a dark brotherhood assassin who got sent by that Astrid b**ch, so I started the quest, "innocence lost" and after being dragged to that shack, I immediately killed her and freed the captives.
Is 3000 Septims worth it? Would you rather have 20,000 Septims instead?
@[ . ] it will eventually pay for itself, due to those torture victims you get. With between 4000 and 8000 Septims every few weeks, you'll get the money back.
Yeah 3,000 septims is worth not being an edgelord
Will it hurt Cicero if I destroy the dark brotherhood?
Ka Stewy no
Thank God.
I hope so
So question here, can the dark brotherhood even deny a contract? Even if it's the emperor and it's bad for the future of the political scape of the entire world?
They can only deny a contract if it breaks one of the Tenets.
If you hate Astrid shoes off
Im standing in front of Arentino residence, watching thid video wondering what should i do after 7 years of playing..😅
So is every target pretty much innocent? Like vittoria is not evil right?
Welp. I didn't think you could, but you convinced me
Funny enough- it’s Ironically Astrid that is pro-imperial by wisening up and stopping the initial Emperor’s execution by alerting Commander Maro (yes I’m aware he’s imperial too, but not of the legion, just of the Emperor’s guard) to also prolong the Dark Brotherhood’s existence… even if she doomed it by killing the guy’s son. Still, she kept the leader intact.
In the end the listener (the player) starts rebuilding the brotherhood with Babette and Nazir who confessed their sins and vile choices against sithis and the night mother. So by the time of the brotherhood in the dawnstar sanctuary they r rebuilding back up to the dark brotherhood we all know and love. Plus both festus and vezeera admit to the player that Astrid needs to change her ways of leadership. So whatever you do don't destroy the brotherhood.
Haha sword go swosh swish
If you destroy them, will the assassins stop coming after you?
Actually that's something that's like loop. You still get encounter on them. Ceciro ok the other hand got no clue cause on the first run in whiterun you will meet ceciro. The questions arise if you end the dark brotherhood. Can you glitched to the dawnstar sanctuary and be attacked by him
Sometimes I think I should change things up and join the brotherhood. But I alway end up with Astrid dead in the shack.
What dagger is that at 2:04?
Hail Cicero
Is it possible to destroy the DB after you joined them? I would not want to waste all the goodies and that you find in the sanctuary when you join. Also, the Blade of Woe.
I decided to destroy the Dark Brotherhood, because they’ve sent three assassins after me, so why would I join them? When Astrid gave me the option to kill one of the hostages to join them, I just simply told her “fuck you” and killed her instead.
Wasn't the whole plot of oblivion that without a sentiment on the throne, Nirn was vulnerable to daedric invasion? Can't help but think that killing the emperor can NOT have good consequences for the world at large.
You missed the fact she orders you to kill cicero ..tho i lived in dark brotherhood armour on my first playthrough till i got deadric
