[SPOILERS] Quest choices, full list, all factions

Sumevala

Quest: Freedom's Chains
Options:
1. Help Renoit break the spell and free Draven.
2. Help Arienne Kerbol save the town from turning.

1. [already noted]
2. You find Draven and kill him, thus breaking the connection between him and the rest of the town. Renoit witnesses the fight, and runs off in tears. The main long-term difference between the choices is with Option 1 the town is emptied of inhabitants (as they all turn and must be dealt with), while Option 2 results in a town that continues to be full of NPCs.

Sylenne

Quest: Keeper of Bones
Zone: Grahtwood

Options:

1. [Persuade] He came here to stand with his family against invaders. Is it justice you seek, or vengeance?
2. He deserves exile. [Dringoth lives] (Note that this option is only available if you choose to hear the full tale from Olphras before deciding.)
3. He deserves your punishment. [Dringoth dies]

1. Olphras feels ashamed, and agrees to allow Dringoth to help fight the Worm Cult. She says that "When the invaders are repelled, he is free to decide his own fate." Note that in the ensuing battle he doesn't actually fight, just stands back and cowers, though you can use his rib to control one of the enemies if you choose.
   
   After you talk to him to complete the quest, you can ask him what he'll do next. He says that he'll probably hang around, but notes that it's a bit boring, and that he rather enjoyed having the Worm Cult show up for the excitement. He says he wants to write them a letter:
   "Dear Wormies! Thanks for the excitement. Sorry about that Ethruin fellow, but he was a bit of a b***ard, wasn't he? Perhaps we should catch up over some deathbell tea. Signed, Dringoth"
   
2. ???
3. ???

Sylenne

Quest: The Wandering Minstrel
Zone: Grahtwood

Options:

1. He had an affair, but it went bad. The woman killed him.
2. [Lie] He was eaten by a troll. There's nothing left but bones.

1. She's sad to hear it, but not surprised, saying "It was only a matter of time before one of his 'true loves' objected." She says she'll miss him, and that she "did love him in spite of everything ... but [she] could not change him."
2. ???

Sylenne

Quest: Eyes of Azura
Zone: Grahtwood

Options:

1. <Imprison Irrai in the sigil geode.>
2. <Kill Irrai.>

1. You imprison Irrai. Vastarie tells you that imprisoning her was necessary because "Irrai is bound to her tablet. While she's within the sigil geode, we can use her as a tether to escape from Coldharbour."
   After you rescue Culanwe, Vastarie uses the trapped Irrai to open a portal back to Laeloria.
2. ??? (Presumably, you get back some other way...)

I could swear the first time I played through Wrothgar Solgra didn't die, because Eveli took the arrow for her and was then lying injured in the temple. Also, the person who patched me up after Alga's attack was Bazrag, not the shield-wife. The only different choice I've made was that the first time I killed the friendly NPC during the trial of loyalty when infiltrating the Vosh Rakh. Has anyone gone for that option and can confirm the same outcome?

Regarding this AD quest:

Quest: Tears of the Two Moons
Options:
1. Let Uldor claim Gathwen
2. Let Uldor claim Rurelion

I just have a question, having played through the end of the main quest line as a DC character. (Main quest/story ending spoilers below.)

Gathwen appears prominently in the Coldharbour/Planemeld storyline, so it kind of confused me when I had the option to lock her in a tomb at the beginning of the AD Cadwell's Silver area. For those who have played through AD or simply know more about it, does the game reconcile how Gathwen is supposed to be in Coldharbour if she's given to Uldor? I have to admit I chose Rurelion largely because I didn't want to mess with the space-time continuum knowing that Gathwen would be in Coldharbour at endgame.

Wow, you're really paying attention to the details. Unfortunately, I don't remember the specifics on those bits. I think in my play through Solgra died.

I believe Rurelion would show up AD side if you left Gathwen with Uldor, but I'll let you know if I ever get there with an AD toon that's sacrificed her. Alternatively, Rurelion DID say he'd find a way to free her, so that's potentially an option too, not sure.

Updated the thread to here! Thanks @knifeinthedark @nerdywife @RavenSkylord @Sethren @Sylenne @WhiteCoatSyndrome @Corbiel @Trosski @Whilhelmina @Melilotta @Ilsabet @Sumevala @anghara @ZheinLevin @Wolfsong @Darlgon @D3F1ANC3 @nurrtibub16_ESO @GraveD @MaxB

That was a lot of updates. I also added in sections for Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood in prep for those DLCs.

Awesomes and Insightfuls for everyone!

Solgra died in my play-through too, and I didn't sacrifice the friendly NPC.

I, like the poster above me, did NOT kill the mage when infiltrating the Vosh Rakh. I chose to kill all of the Vosh Rakh instead. Solgra died, Eveli is ok thankfully, and Kurog's shield wife is the one that patched me up following the confrontation with Alga.

Options:
1. [Hendil Lives] Wait. You're better than that. Don't do it.

Zone: Grahtwood
Quest: Flipping the Coin

Options:
There are actually 2 red choices in this quest. The first is with Tulira. Unfortunately I forgot to write down both options for the first choice, sorry!

1. ? (something like "I was telling the truth.")
2. I was just covering for him.

1. ???
2. Tulira suspected that was the case, but is surprised that you're honest about it.

The second is at the end, with Shan-ra.

1. Don't call in the Thalmor. Allow the Hollow Moon to continue its operations in Redfur.
2. Gold and glory.

1. Shan-ra agrees to your request, saying that "I prefer not to have the Thalmor looking over my shoulder anyhow." Instead, he's going to increase the number of Jode's Chariot guards to counter the thieves. Valirr is thrilled and very grateful, saying "We would not be here without your help."
2. ???

1. Bring Nellor to the authorities
2. Bring Nellor to his stash

1. ???
2. Nellor hands over his stash and is grateful to you for letting him go. He says, "I promise it won't happen again. For what it's worth, I'm truly sorry for the pain I caused."

Wolfsong

Quest: The Prisoner of Jathsogur
Zone: Malabal Tor

The Drublog clan of Wood Orcs captured the Silvenar. I must use the Runestone of Malacath to sacrifice one of his ambassadors in exchange for the Silvenar's freedom.

1. Sacrifice Ambassador Raen (his bodyguard)
2. Sacrifice Ambassador Sariel (his advisor)

1. Raen dies in agony. Sariel is horrified, but doesn't want to waste his gift. She tells you how to rescue the Silvenar, and also invokes her spirit totem to help you fight and heal your wounds. She says she will meet you outside Jathsogur after you free the Silvenar, then leaves.
2. ??????

I eventually answered my own question.

When I arrived in Elden Root, I found both Rurelion and Gathwen chilling in the Mages Guild area. They weirdly both had dialogue about how the other one had been freed of Uldor's control, with no real explanation of how it happened. But they're both safe and sound now.

Quest: Past in Ruins
Options:
1. Take the sword to Sword-Swinger Navid
2. Take the sword to Hermenius Sophus

1. Navid objects at first, then acknowledges his responsibility and takes the sword back; you return to Hermenius and tell him you didn't find it, he says he's not surprised and rewards you anyway.
2. Hermenius Sophus thanks you in his obnoxius way, ignores all your suggestions, makes a comment about hearing something and then rewards you. Was kinda hoping to watch spirits ravage him, but no such luck.

Sylenne

Zone: Greenshade
Quest: A Tangled Knot
Options:
1. The Wilderking was once a mortal, as were you. His name was Ostion.
2. The Wilderking is both mortal and immortal. He is both from this land and a land far away.

1. ???
2. Sumiril is not surprised, saying "I felt this to be true." You then tell him that he was "the Wilderking's first creations [sic] and his most beloved." He's happy and grateful, saying "All of what you have told me, I somehow knew. I felt it to be true. I hoped it would be true. I will no longer dread the unknown. You have lifted the darkness out of me."

Sylenne

Zone: Greenshade
Quest: Mist and Shadow
Options:
1. You're right. He's too dangerous. End it.
2. We gain nothing from his death right now. Leave him or go through me to get to him.

1. ???
2. Mel Adrys is angry but lets Gadinas go, saying "I can't oppose you. I don't slay the living, only the dead." Gadinas is very grateful, tells you that "The rest who opposed Faenir have already escaped", and runs off. (Note that Mel Adrys still helps you to defeat the remaining vampires, even though he disagreed with you.)

Ilsabet

Quest: Beasts of Falinesti (Thanks Runefell)
Options:
1. Let Thonoras join his wife
2. Force Thonoras to kill his wife

2. Force Thonoras to kill his wife

Thonoras doesn't want to be lectured and hopes that someday you'll love someone enough to understand why he can't kill his wife. You have to use Persuade if you want to convince him to carry out his duty to the Green Pact. Thonoras sorrowfully kills his wife and then asks you to leave him to his grief. You collect your reward from the backpack outside.

Quest: Payment In Kind
Zone: Malabal Tor

A recent conflict between the Wood Elves and Drublog Orcs of Bloodtoil Valley threatens to end in bloodshed.
The Emissary of Z'en has asked that I dissuade Mathragor from cursing the Drublog. I must choose how to deal with him.

1. [Persuade] Your daughter gave everything to bring an end to this. Don't let her sacrifice be in vain.
2. There is nothing I can do to help you.

1. Mathragor reluctantly agrees to put aside his want for revenge, and to rebuild and try to find balance again.
2. ?????? (I assume he is killed by the Emissary of Z'en, to stop any further bloodshed)

Ilsabet

O snap, I didn't realize you didn't have anything for Malabal Tor and Reaper's March. I'll start taking notes from here on out. Unfortunately I don't know if I could describe the quests I've already done completely enough.

Zone: Malabal Tor

Arithiel

1. Use the Animus Geode on Arithiel
2. Use the Animus Geode on a Worm Cultist

1. ????
2. Arithiel thanks you for sparing her from a horrible death and summons a flame atronach to help you in Mauloch's shrine. After you stop the ritual she says she'll tell her companions about her past and continue journeying and atoning for her past sins.

The Prisoner of Jathsogur

1. Use the Runestone of Malacath on Raen
2. Use the Runestone of Malacath on Sariel

1. Raen dies horribly and painfully. Sariel can't believe you chose to sacrifice Raen but says she'll do whatever she can to help you and save the Silvenar. She summons a spectral lion that fights and heals you during battle.
2. Presumably Sariel dies horribly, and Raen summons a spectral bear to help you.

Malabal Tor (31-37)

Quest: Brothers and Bandits
Options:
1. Stay here, I'll get the plant sap for you.
2. [Persuade] Your brother wants you out safely. For his sake, get out while you can.

1. You get the added task of retrieving plant sap from the boss room before escorting Dariel to the exit. Dariel thanks you and brings his brother to the Alchemist to get cured, he promises to stick with his brother from now on.

2. You only have to escort Dariel back to his brother, and even if you kill the boss you don't collect any sap. Dariel is mad at you for refusing to help save his brother.

Incidentally I originally chose 2 just to save some time, but when I realized the outcome I gave up the quest and did the whole thing over again with the first option.

Sylenne

Zone: Malabal Tor
Quest: The Summer Site
This quest actually has several red dialog choices. The first one is choosing whether or not you're ready when Farandare's about the open the portal.

I'm not sure if it has any real consequences other than pausing before you fight. (I said I was ready, and the boss appeared.)

After the fight, choice 1 options:
1. Please, do more research. You can't reach Falinesti this way.
2. Try again, here, and you'll die alone. I won't die with you.

1. She says that you're right, but that she's convinced that her theory is correct and Falinesti is in Oblivion. She's determined to find it.
2. ???

If you choose option 1, you get a second red dialog choice:
Options:
1. Good luck with your research, Farandare.
2. Try again, here, and you'll die alone. I won't die with you. (same as before)

1. She says, "I was right about you. You've been strong enough to help me see my own weakness. Well. Back to work then. I'm sure I"ll be able to find a way." She then creates a portal and disappears, leaving behind her journal.
2. ???

Zone: Malabal Tor
Quest: Nature's Best Friend
If you complete the optional goal and find Feluz's lucky pouch, you get some dialog options.
Options:
1. Yes, here, take it.
2. [Lie] No, I couldn't find it.

(Note that if you used Persuade on Feluz earlier, he tells you that his lucky pouch has moon-sugar candies in it.)
1. ???
2. Feluz doesn't believe you, saying he "saw a glint in your eye."

You then have the same choice again, to give him the pouch or continue to lie about finding it. If you continue to lie, he's grumpy and clearly doesn't believe you, but accepts that you won't give him the bag. He says,
"Feluz has no choice but to trust you. I guess the bag of goods was too heavy, hmm? Talk to my wife. I'm sure she'd like to thank you for your help. More than I would, yes?"

Liane thanks you for not giving him the pouch (which she knows was moon-sugar candy). You then give it to her, and she says she plans to destroy it. She says, "Thanks to you, I think we'll be all right."

Zone: Malabal Tor
Quest: Nature's Best Friend
If you complete the optional goal and find Feluz's lucky pouch, you get some dialog options.
Options:
1. Yes, here, take it.
2. [Lie] No, I couldn't find it.

I'm paraphrasing on these since it's been a little while since I did the quest.

1. Feluz claims that he's learned his lesson about overdoing it on moon sugar candy, and says that he'll sell the candy once they get to Bandaari Trading Post. He says if you ever get over to the Trading Post, he might be able to hook you up with a little sum'sum.

When you talk to Liane, you can either tell her that you gave him the pouch or lie to her. I lied but she saw through it and wasn't happy with me.

I saw them later in the inn at Bandaari Trading Post. Feluz was dancing, having clearly been enjoying his moon sugar candy, and Liane was sitting nearby looking grumpy and told me she had nothing to say to me.

Reaper's March

Ezreba's Fate

1. [Service] Ezreba was coerced, and the villagers will forgive her. She should stay.
2. [Banishment] The villagers will never trust Ezreba again. She should be banished.

1. The Treethane agrees with you and thanks you for your help. Ezreba is grateful for your kindness, and the other villagers react according to their biases.

2. ????

2. Arithiel thanks you for sparing her from a horrible death and summons a flame atronach to help you in Mauloch's shrine. After you stop the ritual she says she'll tell her companions about her past and continue journeying and atoning for her past sins.

If you pick the other choice,

1. Arithiel screams that she's sorry as you kill her with the animus geode. Boethiah lives up to her promise of a boon if you sacrifice Arithiel by providing a flame atronach helper. After you stop the ritual you speak with Arithiel's ghost. She's not angry about her death, saying,
"Death was a just punishment for my crimes. The Animus Geode released my spirit when that barrier fell. The Worm Cult failed to summon Mauloch, thanks to you. And now, I am free."

I have a quest question for Concealed Weapons,

has anyone chosen to exile Aera/let her live? And if so what are the consequences?

I've been trying to search here on my phone and can't find anything, so I'm sorry if I missed it.

1. Raen dies horribly and painfully. Sariel can't believe you chose to sacrifice Raen but says she'll do whatever she can to help you and save the Silvenar. She summons a spectral lion that fights and heals you during battle.
2. Presumably Sariel dies horribly, and Raen summons a spectral bear to help you.

If you make the other choice:

2. Sariel dies horribly, screaming in pain. Raen says, "I'll do what I can in Sariel's memory to help you rescue the Silvenar, lest her screams echo in my ears for eternity." He summons a spectral bear that fights with you during the rest of the quest.

Quest: Blind Man's Bluff
Options:
1. [Persuade] You're headed to Anvil anyway, right? I'm sure the captain's contacts could prove useful.
2. I'll pay for his transport. [69gp]
3. Then he's stranded for now.

1. Deros agrees to follow through on his end of the bargain and take Captain Khammo to Anvil, saying:
"I hadn't considered that. You can really sniff out gems from a dung heap." and "I'll keep my end of the bargain. Now leave me to it before I change my mind." He expects Captain Khammo to help when they arrive though. For his part, Captain Khammo is very glad to hear it, saying "I was feeling a bit parched on this beach. Ale's run dry, you see." He agrees to help Deros by speaking to his contacts in Anvil.
