The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion: Remasteredplayers are sharing which of the game’s unfortunate NPCs they kill in order to get access to the Dark Brotherhood. I’m betting you can guess who is mentioned the most.
If you’ve ever playedOblivionorSkyrimbefore (which is almost all of us, let’s be real), then you’re no doubt aware of The Dark Brotherhood.The dark, mysterious, and frankly evil faction is home to some of the best questsin both games, but there’s a high price you have to pay in order to see them.
In order to be invited to join the Dark Brotherhood in both Skyrim and Oblivion,you need to have killed at least one NPC, whether on purpose or accidentally. While some players find it to be a real moral struggle, others seem to breeze on through it, and even have some favourite unlucky “targets” they always choose as their entry fee.
Of Course The Adoring Fan Is The Number One Casualty When Joining The Dark Brotherhood
There Are A Surprising Amount Of Worthy Candidates, Though
Even though my Dark Brotherhood sacrifice was a total accident (honest), other Oblivion players are a bit more thoughtful on the matter.Over on the Oblivion subreddit, Redditor Cathayraht asked other fans which character in the game is their “standard target” when trying to get the elusive Dark Brotherhood invite.
Before even looking at the replies, I’m sure we all guessed that theAdoring Fan was the number one choice, and that’s true since the most popular reply from NoFknZitiNau simply says, “Adoring Fan #69”. The infamously annoying character is mentionedplentythroughout the thread, though, so don’t worry about it being a niche choice.
A very popular target mentioned in the thread (and who even kickstarted the whole discussion) is Countess Alessia Caro,a fan-favourite when it comes to utter hatred. Caro is sadly an important NPC for a bit and can’t be killed then, but that’s not always the case and some players have pointed out saving the Dark Brotherhood until she can be picked.
And, of course, how could I talk about annoying Oblivion characterswithout bringing up Glarthir who, while not an evil character, is a total buzzkill. He may not be as bad as the Adoring Fan, but he’s certainly a popular choice when picking who to sacrifice for the Dark Brotherhood.
Let’s all spare a moment for an “orc adventurer I found in some ruins”, who was Redditor dogen83’s accidental target of choice.
Even though all of the above choices are valid, there are some smarter targets mentioned too. Perhaps my favourite reply in the thread comes from Biograde, who suggested the Camona Tong Skoomba smugglers at Walker Camp. Not only are they awful people, but they also respawn, making themmostlyguiltless victims.
