Dark Brotherhood starter quest spoiler:

So I had a visit from the Dark Brotherhood last night, woke up in a strange room to find a tricky decision at hand... who would be most likely to have a contract out on them? I debilitated for a while on the best candidate and settled on the bitchy house wife, only when I came to follow through with my choice... well, suffice to say dual-cast fireball with double augmented flame perks doesn't really leave a lot of room for discretion :/. She didn't seem to mind that they all died, though... anyone know if there was a right answer amongst the three?

There doesnt seem to be a right or wrong choice. No matter who you pick, she wont tell you if you picked the right one. Its possible they all had contracts out on then. Or maybe even none of them did! How trippy is that? I killed the khajiit one. He seemed like the most evil and dangerous out of the three.

I only went for the housewife because I didn't like her

You can also kill the DB girl and never join the Dark Brotherhood

I have a DB question of my own

For the Cure for Madness, did you kill Cicero or let him live? Are there major implications for either choice? I'm honestly unsure what to do. He seems dangerous to leave alive, but I'm also worried about incurring the Night Mothers wrath and maybe losing out later on

Just finished my first Dark Brotherhood assassination. VERY funny!

I went to kill the mine manager first. Followed her to her house, and broke in, and killed her. Then a guard ran in, killed her too. That cleared my bounty, as she was the witness to the murder. Even though she wasn't in the damn house! Another guard came, and then another, the second cancelling out the bounty again. Or overall, quite happy. Just 4 people had to die and not one...

If you don't kill him then he's a companion later on, don't know if there's any other implications

Had quite a lot of crashes today

Not happy.

Hope the patch this week will fix it. And allow us to use CFF Explorer to make the exe 4GB aware again.

Players should be warned that getting married in Skyrim will cause a drastic drop in your 1 handed skill.

I'll get my coat.

Suppose so. Just annoying having to see it to Steam, and it doesn't have a nice icon!

Thank's. Aren't they tiny in Steam though?

Either way, you were able to patch the exe before, and Bethesda broke that, so just a bit annoyed by that!

Doing one of the DB quests, could do with a tip if anyone's done this?

So I'm in Radlthbar and I've gone in to the Deep Market section. There's a ramp with two sets of spinning blades on; I managed to get up them going in, but coming out I can't seem to make my way back without being cut to pieces. Any ideas? :confused:

I can't remember exactly where you mean but there is usually a switch around. Have you checked around the area?

So what dragon shouts are people using at the moment? I've not got a great array, but I'm quite fond of the one that freezes opponents solid

I've acquired a few myself but haven't done the first quest so I don't get random encounters.

However, I want to use the slow time one.
