>kill the most important man and respected political figure in the entire planet in a long, dangerous questline>nobody gives a fuck after you do it or considers the ramifications or instability after such an act
>>720796937Sounds like a Cyrodiil problem
>>720796937Lol from the thumb I thought he was putting up his dukes with really short arms
Old obsidian would've given us like 30 slides at the end of the game for doing all the guilds.
>>720796937All the quests in the game end abruptly before you see the consequences.
>>720796937>respectedthe consequence is the next in line would step up to be the next emperor, whats the big deal?
>respectedis this elf cock sheath serious?
>>720796937I still say you killed another body double. Maro might believe you killed the real Emperor but it didn’t happen. The double asking you to kill the guy who made the contract is just tying up loose ends naturally and even if left alive its not like he can somehow pull it off again. Or Skyrim just remains a buggy, unfinished piece of shit game.
The questline is a conundrum >As a heroic Nord, I should refuse the Dark Brotherhood questline >But on the other hand, the questline culminates in killing the Emperor, the ultimate victory for the Stormcloaks A tough decision.
>>720800850This. Why the fuck would the emperor travel to Skyrim just to try some soup? Especially during a civil war where his own cousin was assassinated (in the same city)
>>720800850...why did your character even want to kill the guy who set up the contract again? I dont even remember
>>720796937The DB quest makes no sense in skyrim>before we can assassinate the emperor we need to kill a bunch of people close to him so the alarm is at its highest when we do
>>720801008You really have no incentive to do so besides giving the emperor his dying request. You're paid in full for the work you did
>>720801008The Emperor asked nicely and I kinda liked the guy, which is basically the only moral code my character has in Skyrim.
knowing how bad writing at Bethesda has gone since Skyrim, is there literally any way for them to have a good DB questline in ES6?
>>720801757It's firmly in the hands of Emil, except he will probably be doing the majority of the writing on top of that
>>720796937>agent in charge of security turns out to be conspiring with the Stormcloaks>while the Emperor is visiting the Stormcloak-controlled Solitude and SkyrimThe most retarded thing about that quest is how it has no connection to the entire civil war plot.
>>720796937>most important man and respected political figure in the entire planetThat emperor was a puppet leader installed by the Thalmor to try to gain legitimacyThe only imperial bloodline that matters is the Septim bloodline because it was ACTUALLY instituted by the divine right of Akatosh, and that bloodline died in OblivionNo one respects the Thalmor's emperor, everyone you speak to knows he is just a farcical yes-man with no real power and no legitimate claim to royaltyYou should probably actually read things and listen to NPCs in the game instead of just making assumptions based on a title
>>720800942Letting Skyrim break away from the Empire would only strengthen the Thalmor. They've realised that humans will inevitably win the war because they can replace the dead much quicker in the long term and the White Gold Concordat is a truce to try and buy some time to disrupt the Empire so they can take it apart piece by piece. Because humanity united is going to crush them.
