Part of the May Modathon Month
A mysterious group is hiring the Dark Brotherhood to assassinate the nobles of the Empire. What are their motivations? Perhaps what they claim is true, and they are revolutionaries who want to end the oppression of the people by those leeches. Perhaps they are a just another group of nobles with a lot of power who want to undermine their rivals. Perhaps they want to undermine the Empire itself and cause mayhem in Tamriel, because they serve a darker force, unknown to you.
But you are an assassin, you are not paid to ask questions, you are paid to kill. As you complete the Morag Tong questline, the rival assassins of the Dark Brotherhood fall before you one by one. You find these contracts targeting the nobles of the Empire on their corpses. With the assassins dead, there is no one to complete them... unless you are willing to forsake your honor as a Morag Tong assassin and do some freelance assassinations along with your Morag Tong job. This group certainly pays well.
How will you decide? It's up to you.
Features of this mod:
- About 30 new, completely optional (journal entry-free, besides the first one which initiates the entire mod) contracts: kill every noble of the vanilla game, besides those whose survival is necessary because they are quest-critical (Such as the Hlaalu Councilors)
- To unlock the new contracts: kill a Dark Brotherhood member (They are encountered during the Morag Tong questline, especially during the "Threads of the Webspinner" quest) and collect the contract from their body, and go, and kill the target, if you desire.
- A reward system inspired by the video game, Far Cry 2: after you kill a target, (it might need a couple of seconds to trigger) diamonds will be added into your inventory. Apparently, this mysterious group has a few highly-skilled mages, who are conversant in the art of mysticism, and they can transport diamonds into your bag through space
- Excellent roleplay opportunity for a rogue Morag Tong assassin, a freedom fighter, a serial killer, a Thalmor agent or similar character
To begin: read the note added in Hrordis' room about this group and then continue with the Morag Tong questline. Collect the contract from the bodies of the Dark Brotherhood assassins and follow their instructions.
Compatibility:
Modifies almost all the NPCs belonging to the "noble" class, and modifies almost all the Dark Brotherhood assassins that you come across during the Morag Tong questline. Since the contracts are optional, and you don't even get an annoying journal entry until you complete them, any "NPC X that this mod requires to be killed is needed in mod Y" can be circumvented by simply ignoring that contract.
OpenMW: It works without issues under the OpenMW engine, despite the mod relying heavily on scripts.
Nota bene: Yes, I know that "anarchist" doesn't necessarily mean a violent murderer targeting nobles, if you just want to comment to call my attention to Bakunin, Kropotkin and similar authors, it's not necessary, I'm quite aware of them. If you're familiar with my mods, you know that it's a running gag that I name them after political ideologies, when their theme has a vague resemblance to them, even if only to their stereotypical depiction, like in case of this mod.
