in a way that really backfires at them often. theyre a religious cult that values death over life. now im not saying that a faction of assassins is necessarily a good thing, obviously, im just saying that its much more justified than dark brotherhood, and a completely different kind of guild.īecause DB dont shy away from just loving gore and death and mutilation. morag tong, while allowing public execution if its absolutely necessary but still really frowning upon it, favours quick and swift and quiet executions away from the public eye. you know, let the rich tits just get a morag tong assassin to do their business, rather than involve innocent people in it, the lower class members of the houses to fight and die for them. its an institution within a special context of a country divided into regions and great houses that rule them, and said houses having conflicts with one another. I think the main difference between the morag tong and the dark brotherhood is that morag tong is a safer, quicker, and less messy equivalent of house wars. which maybe should be obvious, but is it? and the point is that the dark brotherhood are a bunch of complete idiots with 0 regard for human life, and absolute monsters. the point that was maybe not conveyed clearly enough, because it went over people’s heads. i’m not making moral judgements here or trying to say this or that is problematic. its 100% harmless to pretend you’re an assassin in a fictional world in a video game. Like, dont get me wrong, lucien is definitely a likeable charming character, and its obvious on some level that if youre an assassin, youre probably at least morally dubious, and i guess thats the charm. who would be so happy about gruesomely murdering someone like this? not like literally everyone in dark brotherhood relishes in death and mutilation, like the dude bragging about murdering an entire birthday party full of kids, or yknow, all the talk about the beauty of bloodshed and gore. fucking loser traumatized by seeing his mother be gruesomely decapitated, look how over the top and gross and crazy and depraved he is. but matthiew bellamont is unambiguously presented as a repulsive, creepy, unjustified freak, for wanting revenge for what happened to him. youd think there would at least be some moral ambiguity here. the fact that the DB are the good guys here, that lucien is the good guy here, wronged by the unfair revenge of some dude who dared to be fucked up by such an experience, is just.
lucien lachance gruesomely murdered a kid’s mother in front of him, and said kid grew up to hate him and conspire against him.
the traitor thing in the oblivion DB questline is just absurd to me to be honest, having given it some thought.
