Where do you draw the line?

conchvegas · Jan 29, 2012

I'll murder people left and right, but I stop short at cannibalism and human sacrifice. The cannibal quest, I killed all the motherfluffing cannibals. The human sacrifice one, I killed all the cultists but still got saddled with the quest to lead a poor victim to this post and let him burn. Not gonna do it. What about you??

how is that any different from murdering someone with a fire spell?

dragonkilla · Jan 29, 2012

How is that no different than burning a troll to death

conchvegas · Jan 29, 2012

I hardly ever use the fire spell for one, and trolls and innocent victims are two entirely different things. As for murdering people, I don't usually go on killing sprees, apart from this one small village where I killed all the guards, but if I am gonna kill someone for no particular reason, I'll use a sword quick and painless. I'm not gonna burn someone to death and enjoy it.

I have a pretty basic approach to the game, seeing as I'm relatively new the series: I basically kill whatever is hostile to me.

Me too, I wanted to be a good guy for this (1st) character bu I have made some choices that go against this.

I led a guy up to Boethiahs cultist's (I assume this is the mission you mean) and done the deed.
I now have another mission from that which I wont be able to do for some time.
It involves sneaking and i'm just not that good at sneaking and I can't pickpocket without getting caught either.

I'm not much of a sneaker myself on my main file (High Elf/Altmer battlemage, for the most part). I'd say I'm neutral, if we're using the official affiliations.

I plan to make a slightly more evil character later on. A thief/assassin hybrid, most likely.

Mabe · Jan 29, 2012

Ill kill anything thats hostile or has a history of being hostile... ie Thalmor patrols. There are enough side quests to kill a nuisance giant that I can believe that they a widespread problem and I have no problem clearing them out and killing off their food scource.

Speedymotor · Jan 30, 2012

Ill kill almost anybody if its to get something i really want, and ill steal anything no matter what, but i wont snitch. I cured that one argonian lady of her skooma addiction and now im supposed to rat out the dealer to the jarl. I would feel like a huge asshole if i did that. Hes an entrepenuer. If thats how he chooses to make money, im not gonna interfere with that. Fuuuuuccccckkkkk

I agree with that. I'm somewhat putting the argonian lady in danger for telling, when she was in a bind for her poor decisions with skooma. I think I might end up killing someone just to get rid of it, lol.

I'm a good guy, haven't even done any dark brotherhood quests. I've never murdered an innocent civilian, only attacked other humans when they have tried to kill me in the first place.

To me it seems like most of the people you have to kill in DB missions are douchebags

Regardless, unless they themselves are mass murderers, I don't think being a D-bag warrants death.

I had no problem sacrificing a hired mercenary in the Ebony chain quest. He should have known it would be dangerous to hang out with someone who messes with Daedric princes. I'd say he earned his 500 gold.
On the other hand, I didn't kill the dog when his daedric master suggested I should.
Not interested in the cannibalism quest at all.

Chryss · Jan 30, 2012

On the cannibalism quest, i killed her when she told me i can feed *ugh* as for the Dark Brotherhood, I just cant go around assasinating people. Not in my nature, some creepy corpse tells me to go kill?? not happening. Sooo I killed Astrid, turned myself in and they rewarded me.

swanqueen · Jan 30, 2012

I struggled with this too. My first character .. the Redguard pictured.. was pretty good except she joined the theives guild. I felt bad when the guards kept telling me they knew what a sneak I was. Probably didn't help I wear the Guild Armor..lol. I tried to create a bad person but I still had conscience problems. I had trouble killing someone at Boethiahs but I hate that Iona is in my house and everytime I come home I have to put up with her sitting in my bedroom.. so I took her up there. I can't kill Paarthunux.. I know that's spelled wrong but you know who I mean. I justify it by saying I want the greybeards to tell me where the word walls are. But I'm trying real hard to be bad .. she's a Dark Elf and it fits her character. She's a werewolf and in the Dark Brotherhood. So with her I'm trying not to draw any lines... it's a game for crying out loud and I want to see what that side is like.

I'm going to make a new character soon and try to be 100% good. Not even join the thieves guild. See how far that gets me.

juniperbugg · Jan 30, 2012

I follow the quest lines I find, I joined the thievs guild and the dark brotherhood I kill anything that attacks me and I will kill whoever im told to. Im going with the notion that I dont make the decisions and everything im told to do is for a reason and I abide no questions asked =) Besides its about having fun right? Dark Brotherhood quests can be lots of fun all that sneaking around and being a ninja lol Love it ^.^

Sky High · Jan 30, 2012

My system is rather akin to the Assassin's Creed series beliefs. I will not kill an innocent citizen save for ones that have a contract against them. I have no problem killing guards should they get in my way but I won't really go out of my way to kill them and will avoid it if possible. When I do have to kill guards or innocent people because of Dark Brotherhood contracts, I view them as victims of circumstance. They did nothing wrong (except for some douche-y contract people, for whom I hold no remorse) and just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Requiescat in pace.

I have no problem killing those who attack me first or are cold-blooded murders (like the Butcher). I also do not mind helping those who wish to die fighting (like the Old Orcs you come across on the road at times).

I have no problem stealing from people in general. I will generally refrain from robbing those who have been friendly to me or are in mourning (such as the Shatter-Shields of Windhelm. Poor Trabjorn is the only one left in my game.).

I will stop short of cannibalism in all cases and I will sometimes stop short of human sacrifice.

Rathalos_lord_of_the_sky · Jan 30, 2012

Haha actaully cannibalism played a big role in my game.
Human sacrifice is in too.
Read the EWM rp to see my characters life as a cannibal

benathius · Jan 30, 2012

as a rule i try not to kill anyone i dont need to but i use that rule lightly , i have done the dark brotherhood quests and ill kill anyone im asked (paid ) to otherwise i dont kill people , i dont do it just for the fun of it but if someone comes up to me with an issue ill never back down, they die . and if someone decides to attack me because i may have accidently hit them with a spell or an axe while im trying to fight off loads of bandits or a mage and his twelve cunjoured pains in my arse ill mow him down too .

thinkin my next character isnt going to be as nice though , thinkin of a seriously violent assasin , stealth , bows and daggers , kill everyone i can profit from

Where do you draw the line?
