I can help you with that, Runhent, so you can edit your post: If you tell her to leave her brother, she will grudgingly do so: Dethisam thanks you and then willingly drinks poison, dying where you found him. Aerona becomes the new town consul.

Betnikh has three quests that have that kind of choice.

Daughter of Seamount -- tell her to travel with you and she says she will -- tell her to stay and marry and she says she is finally happy.

quest in Moriselli (don't remember name) You have the option of putting Targoth's horn back where it belongs or taking it with you. If you leave it there all the undead there go back to their 'rest'. I don't know what happens if you take the horn with you.

last part of main quest for the island -- player has a choice to destroy an ayleid relic or not. I've only chosen destroy it which makes all the Orcs happy. Captain Kaleen is really pissed off at the player.

I don't know what happens if the other choice is made.

thilog

All good stuff, just wanted to point out here. Under Mage and Fighter Guild Skill tabs you can put a point into intimidate and persuade. This can make many quests alot easier to complete, but I wonder if this bypasses alternate outcomes.

Is there a difference for Through the Aftermath, where you either enslave the souls or free them. I'd have thought freeing them be the better decision but is there anything different for going either way?

Zone: Stonefalls, Starved Plain
Quest: Through the Aftermath
Options:Enslave the spirits or free them.
Results:

- Freeing the spirits will lead you to quest "Giving for the Greater Good", where Reesa wants you to bring her a mushroom cap to help restore the plant life in the area. The spirits become neutral to you, they seem to grow fewer and the next time I passed by there was green grass there. The quest reward is "Spiritmender's Staff", a lvl 5 green weighted healing staff with health absorption charge.
- Enslaving the spirits will lead you to quest "Wayward Son" where Furon wants you to fight your way through a cave of cultists to find out whether his brother Giron, who came up with the necromancic plan, is involved with something too sinister. No idea what happens to the landscape. The quest reward is a green destruction staff.

Quest: A Family Divided
Zone: Forgotten Crypts, Deshaan
Options: Leave Sela in the camp (You'll be safe here. I'll find you husband.) or Ask her to wait outside the crypt (You're not safe here. Get out now.)
Results:

Leave Sela in the camp: she will be eaten by kind refuges.
Ask her to wait outside the crypt: she will be alive after all.

And the next one.
Quest: A Bitter Pill
Zone: Forgotten Crypts, Deshaan
Options: Burn the meal (You're sick. I'm putting the end to this madness!) or agree with Danus (I understand. You had no choice.)
Results:

Burn the meal: 1) if Sela is alive - it'll be all right eventually. Danus will agree to lead his people out of the crypt;

2) if Sela was eaten - Danus will become very angry and attack you. And will die, of course.
Agree with Danus: ???

The docks vs fort comes up later in the rift. I chose the fort and Aera Earth-Turner became a worm cultist, her son never visits, etc.

Results:

Tell the truth: all will be OK, Naryu will help.
Threaten: ???

Quest: Fighting Back
Zone: Narsis, Deshaan

Results:

Take Madras' side: ???
Try to save peasants' lives: Madras will be offended. But everyone will be alive. Almost.

Quest: Quieting a Heart
Zone: Stonefalls
Options: After discovering the truth from Eanen, you can tell Bala that he was either playing with her, is buried somewhere else, or that he's waiting for her.
Results: If you tell her that he was playing with her, she'll exclaim that it isn't true and will later kill herself (you can interact with her spirit).
If you tell her he's buried somewhere else and should move on, she, once again, says the opposite but this time says she will look for him forever (presumably NOT killing herself, as I've not yet encountered her spirit).

If you lie to her, she turns up as a ghost later in the second city in Stonefalls (I forget its name), still looking for him. She's hard to find - behind one of the buildings - but I promise she's there.

Basically there is no way to "win" that quest, because she won't listen to the truth and he's a jerk.

You get a different reward, at least that used to be the case. Giving for the Greater Good gives you a special green healing staff. Wayward Son gives you a green destruction staff.

Quest: Carving Cuttle
Zone: Deepcrag Den, Deshaan
Options: It seems that the choice will appear if you talk with strange Dunmers sitting in the upper level of Deepcrag Den - after taking the quest. They told you about real aid of Orona. So, the choice: agree with Orona and give her collected cuttle (That makes a certain amount of sense.) or tell her return this cuttle to Boril (I think you should give it to Boril instead of selling it.)

Results:

Agree with Orona and give her collected cuttle: ???

Tell her return this cuttle to Boril: she won't be happy, but agree and pay you some gold:

the guild quest one is complete ***. i'm *** out of 2 skill point BECAUSE i did the right thing? how the *** does this make sense. now people who are *** get an advantage.

Doing the right thing is a reward in itself

Two skillpoints hardly matter in the long run, you'll get plenty of skill points anyway.

Two skillpoints matters, and when you are given the reward options of free skill points or "only the moral feeling" one of them can help you become stronger in the game (reward) and by contrast the other does nothing (punishment).

I shouldn't be punished for "doing the right thing." I should be rewarded with the same bonus. Why should jerks be given an advantage over "moral people" by being given skill points?

The reward of "the good feeling" is not mutually exclusive; a jerk will feel good about the choice they made, thus claiming both rewards. By contrast, a player who makes the moral choice might have their feelings turn bitter to learn the other side of the coin, meaning they lose the "reward" and now have 2 punishments; not getting 2 skill points, or a good feeling.

2) Bring Ithis Omalor to the Hlaalu - he will be thankful to you for saving his life from Dwaemer constructs. And Hlaalu guards will be very happy for such "gift". Not sure that Ithis will be happy after their hands, but he will be alive. Maybe.

Quest: The Dagger's Edge
Zone: Glenumbra, The Shrieking Scar
Options:
- Tell Glvin to Finish the Job (and get paid)
- Tell Gelvin to confront Lord Diel

Finish the job:
Gelvin says he has never broken a law and always wanted to do the right thing. He agrees to take the money, though says that his conscience will bother him.
You will have two options: blackmail Diel to pay you more (you get 228 gold and Dagger's Combat Stompers according to the video) or pay Daggers more (no idea whether this affects your reward).
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjl_Lp49yIs at 4:57 )

Do the right thing:
Karma happens to Diel. Also, Bumnog has already figured things out and secretly "secured a payment" from Diel earlier. He now asks you to deliver it to Gelvin, saying you found it on Diel. Now you have two options: do as Bumnog asked (you get 228 gold and Dagger's Combat Stompers, lvl 8 medium shoes, and the team's happy) or rattle on him (no idea whether this affects your reward).

Quest: Crossroads
Zone: Bal Foyen
Options: Either help Captain Rana at the docks or Darj the Hunter at Fort Zeren.
Results: Helping Captain Rana at the docks will make sure she, her lieutenant from Bleakrock and the Earth-turner girl survives.
However, when you go to Fort Zeren, everyone there is dead (aside from one mourner). It's quite the carnage.
Later on, for her actions and defending the docks, Captain Rana is promoted. I don't know what happens if you pick the fort.
Choosing the Fort over the docks will allow the people there to survive, but the docks will be slaughtered in turn and Rana, her lieutenant and the Earth-turner girl will die. They are later honoured for their sacrifice in Davon's Watch (they are lying on stones northeast of the bank, almost perfectly diagonally, with the survivors in mourning around).

Actually I have somethin to add there. Your choice seems to get important again at a level 39 Quest called Concealed Weapons in the Rift

You meet Aera Earth-turner again and as the quest progresses come to a point where she has gone mad because of the death of her girl at the docks. She joined the Worm Cult who promised her to reunite her with her daugther if she gives them information on the Pact. And you get to choose again. Kill her or tell her to go away and never return. I haven't decided yet

That is pretty awesome. I would really like to hear what that Quest is like if you cose to defend the docks and the girl survived.

If you chose the truth, look carefully: down in the river near ebonheart, you'll find her lifeless body washed up against a rock as well

To flesh out the results, if you take Madras's side-

You make them pretty happy and excited. You're sent off to steal weapons from the kinhouse to arm the peasants. They try to figure out which end is the pointy one, then rush off to rescue everybody without waiting for you. With, sadly, pretty predictable results.
