The Bargain's End Quest Choice(Some quest spoilers)

ZaroktheImmortal

So I've done this quest before you get a choice between either preserving the soul gem array and they stay as undead skeletons unable to die or you destroy it and they all die. Some of them want to stay like this and live on. Others want it to end. It seems a very morally grey choice and I've done this quest before but I find this to be a very difficult choice to make. So which did you go for?

Destroy the Soul Gem Array

I destroyed the gem and set them free

Being undead is no living

On the one hand, it'd be great for scholars to have them live, that way they'd be able to preserve any and all knowledge of the Kothringi race. But on the other hand, they're skeletons, and as someone said, to live like that isn't really living, so the morally correct choice is to grant them death.

Destroy the Soul Gem Array

I have trouble w some of the quest choices, and this one is a bit difficult, as is the argonian one in coldharbour

I took the view that living your life then dying and moving on to aetherius is the natural order of things, and remaining undead forever because u like fighting things aint, so the soul gem array goes.

Destroy the Soul Gem Array

I initially intended to destroy the shard. But, while on my way through the ruin, to do just that, I had a change of heart. If even one of them wanted to live on, it would be murder (sort of) to destroy the shard. If all the rest were so bent on ceasing to exist, surely they could find some other means of achieving their end. They've got no shortage of time on their hands, to figure out some way.. And so what if those who want to continue to exist won't enjoy the same form of life that the living do. Who am I to deem their form of existence meaningless. That's for them to decide... Maybe those who want to rest could seek out the temple of Arkay. I'm sure the Priests would be happy to help them find a solution!
