Quest: The Lovers
Zone: Rivenspire

Options:
Choice 1: "Give her flowers."
Choice 2: "Recite a poem."
Choice 3: "Give her jewelry."

1. ???
2. You have a choice of having her recite an orcish poem, to buy a book from a wandering poet, or to have him compose his own poem. I bought the book and she agreed to be married. (copied from previous entry)
3. Triggers quest to get 3 stolen gems from Bitterhand Bandits, which you take to Khalisah to have jewelry made. This in turn can trigger even more choices because Khalisah is in love with Julien - see below.

Possible second choice tree in the same quest, from initial choice 3:

Context: If you chose jewelry initially, after you have Khalisah make the necklace, you can choose to either tell Julien about Khalisah's feelings for him, or lie about it.
Options:
Choice 1: "[Lie] Yes. She's really happy for you and Guendeline.
Choice 2: "Did you know that Khalisah has feelings for you?"

1. ???
2. Julien is surprised to learn of Khalisah's feelings, and wonders if maybe he should give Khalisah a chance instead. This triggers yet another choice, advising him on whom to court! See below.

Possible third choice tree in the same quest, from second tree choice 2:

Context: If you chose to tell Julien about Khalisah being in love with him, you can then advise him on whether to go with Guendeline or Khalisah.

Note that both options in the first (non-red) dialog after you choose to tell him the truth lead to the same set of red choices below.

Options:
Choice 1: "Let's not complicate matters. I'll give the necklace to Guendeline."
Choice 2: "I think you should give Khalisah a chance."
Choice 3: "If you can't decide, maybe you need more time."

1. ???
2. Julien asks you to give the necklace back to Khalisah. After a bit of back and forth between the two, he agrees to enlist.
3. ???

Sadly there are no differences between the different "choices". At the end of the quest everything will be exactly the same, no matter which path you chose. All NPCs will treat you the same, all following quests will be identical, there won't be any references to your decisions later in the game... hell, there's not even any sort of faction standings that could be influenced by the "choices".

Basically, you get 2 lines of changed dialogue and (perhaps) a slightly different reward but in any meaningful sense and for story-telling purposes there is absolutely no difference between the "choices" you make.

Sorry to disappoint.

So.... /thread...?

Not entirely true. Sometimes, the choices you make affect where NPC's end up later, or if they're even alive. Granted, it doesn't make a huge difference when it comes to the game, but sometimes, if you're observant, you'll find NPC's from quests gone by in Inns or in towns, and they'll reference the outcome you chose. Also, guards and civilians will comments sometimes on them as well as random chatter. For example, in the quest 'One Last Game' in Stormhaven, I chose to give the money back to the soldier. Later, I heard a guard addressing me over that, and praising my honesty. Once in a while there will be a quest that will have a bigger impact, like the end of the Mage's guild, or affecting whether the area will remain hostile or not.

So yeah, there's usually no huge game changing effect, but there are often little hints all around you, if you're observant. And it's rather fun and plays into the roleplaying aspect.

2. Gendinora is angry that Nedras "abandoned" her.

Both options lead to a second choice, whether to give her money or not, ostensibly from her brother.

Second choice:

Both options above lead to a second set of red dialog choices.

A few later conversation consequences in Rivenspire quests:

Quest: Under Siege
Zone: Rivenspire
If you chose option 2 ("All right, I'll let you go.)

After you finish The Lightless Remnant, you'll meet up with Heloise in Shornhelm Castle, talking to Lt. Fairfax. She says Verandis was helping her, and is sad that he's gone.

Quest: A Change of Heart
Zone: Rivenspire
If you chose option 1 (Tell Federik to go and Dulkhi to stay.)

Immediate consequence: Federik tells Arlie he feels compelled to go off and learn how to fight so he can defend her, but promises to eventually return. Dulkhi is excited to have a chance with Arlie, and Arlie decides she's not willing to wait around for Federik, so she'll try a relationship with Dulkhi.

Longer term, after The Lightless Remnant, you'll meet Dulkhi and Arlie in Shornhelm Castle, both very happy and in love. (Though Arlie says Dulkhi needs to bathe more often, and that she's "molding her into the perfect lover.")

Quest: The Lovers
Zone: Rivenspire
If you got to the 3rd choice tree, and chose option 2

(That's the option where you tell Julien to go for Khalisah instead of Guendeline.)
After the Lightless Remnant, you can talk to Julien in Shornhelm Castle, and he's happy with Khalisah, saying, "Now that's the woman of my dreams!"

By the way, thank you @Atarax for maintaining this thread! (And thank you to everyone who's contributing!) I was definitely looking at it for the earlier DC zones - I'm unlikely to come back through with another character, so it's nice to see what the other choices lead to.

Runefell

Quest: Manthir's Debt
Zone: Greenshade
Options:
1. Intimidate Manthir into paying his debt
2. Help him get his money back from Farwen

1. ???
2. Farwen says she'll give the money back if Manthir agrees to meet her conditions, as she claims Right of Theft. She wants him to marry her. Manthir laments the fact that he's left with the choice of being gutted by the Khajiit mob, or marrying Farwen. He begrudingly agrees to marry her. Farwen is thrilled that he feels the same way.

There are a lot of choices in this quest. I'll try to list them all.
Quest: The Grip of Madness
Zone: Grahtwood
Talk to Rufinus
Options:
1: Reason with Rufinus
2: Push Rufinus off the ledge

1: Rufinus realizes that the person he's really angry with is himself, and that he's the source of all his own problems. He then accidentally strikes himself with lightning, much to the amusement of your companion. He later joins to help you in the quest, but dies at the end. (Can only choose this with the Persuade Skill)
2: Rufinus dies.

Choose between Choice and Free Will. You're Choice.
Options:
1: Fight Sheogorath's Special friend
2: Pull another lever

1: You fight a monster named Free Will.
2: You have to pull another lever.

Confront the Mayor
*Note: I ran through this quest twice. One time time I had these choices, the other time I didn't and had to fight. I'm not sure what triggers it, but I think it's the conversation you have with Daraneth when you first talk about the mayor. The first time I chose the first option about trying to find another way or something, the second time I agreed that I'll kill the mayor. Maybe that locks you into that choice.
1: Kill the Mayor
2: Convince Sheogorath to take the Mayor to the Shivering Isles to live.

1: You fight the Mayor and kill him
2: You talk to Sheogorath and persuade him to take the mayor to live in the Shivering Isles forever.

Reward: Bonebane, Shard of Wuuthrad

@Runefell‌ @Sylenne‌ @Maialun‌

Thanks all, I'll try to update this weekend (my 1.6 list of abilities / class balance thread is taking up my freetime).

That said, I'm not sure where devs are going to place the threads for this section for the new forum structure. I think the best place for this thread will be the Player Guides section?

@ZOS_AlanG‌ can you make sure we don't lose this thread and all the work?

No threads are being removed, although some may be re-arranged (including everything in this forum). If you have trouble finding a thread after the re-structure, you can always check the "Participated" menu item to see your recent activity.

Thanks Alan, would it be possible to move this to the Player Guides section? Seems to fit better there, and the general section will bury it as we only update every so often. By the way, I like the new forums, much easier getting around on mobile.

Speaking of updates, RL happened so I'll try to add in the updated quests next weekend.

Glad to see someone took up the mantle and ran with it! Thanks much Atarax!

Quest: Stone Cold

Options:
1. Tell the Bosmer to find a new home
