I STILL can't make sense of that, I thought people that performed the black sacrament offered payment in gold while the kills were made as tribute to sithis, by that principle shouldn't the contract have ended with his mothers death? I don't understand why were obligated to fullfill this nonsensical stipulation. Skyrim had bonus objectives like killing a newly wed bride during her speech, but they were just that...bonus objectives for more money...maybe I'm misremembering things I know astrid ran the brotherhood into the ground but I'm fairly certain none of this makes any sense regardless

@@sasaki999pro The Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion looks like a political organization with religious connotations that some members revere more than others. Motierre approached with a nice sum of gold and his proposition, that doesn't involve killing anyone, which caused some members to refuse the unorthodox request while others saw the benefit of Motierre"s wealth. Those who saw the benefit of his request accepted it, but had to require a blood price to appease the more orthodox members of the Brotherhood. Since this is the Brotherhood we're talking about, the life of any old beggar would not suffice the price for saving his life. No, only the life of someone dear to him like his mother would be enough for the Brotherhood to act.

@@sasaki999pro Because a life was being taken: the target. In Motiere's case, he wasn't actually going to die, which left the blood price up in the air.

This was such a great mission, I mean to be fair the entire Dark Brotherhood questline could have been it's own game and I'd still love it because it had enough fun and interesting moments to carry itself, but a clever twist like this was such a good idea and always one of my favorites to pull off when I played, actually feeling nervous about it the first time, worried something would go wrong or I'd somehow not be convincing to the guy who breaks in right after. It's also just really clever in universe, like if you had a guy who'd hunt you down for money or whatever, and there existed this highly respected and feared guild of people who were almost supernaturally good at assassinating people, walking into the guys house and seeing one of these members standing over what you presume is his corpse, you really wouldn't think to keep looking for him, or assume this guild of assassins would lie or fake such a thing. Also a cool "Last resort" sort of decision for the guy you save as you also wouldn't expect the guild to do such a thing and could just as easily have yourself assassinated anyway, so it's a fun show of desperation from the character.

Same with the gang quest, what would happen if you kill the gang leader woman as soon as you enter the house and not let her enter dialogue with you.

Aww I was really hoping they would put more alternate endings for this special mission, like when I first clicked I had all these theories that I was mad I never tried, like yeah if you kill him, or kill the thug, but then I was like...Well what if we use the poison blade on the assassin? It wouldnt "Kill" him then I was hoping Motierre would then get mad at you like "How are we going to do this now" then some alternate ending where he has to go on the run because you either killed the thug or revive him and reveal your plan was to stage the murder. Then I thought what if you didnt revive him? Like if you went back before reviving him or waited several days so he'd actually die, but that would all be a bit much to make for just one mission, I just think it would have made what's already in the top 5 or maybe even top 3 Dark Brotherhood missions even better.
