Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Questions

Seravi · June 2014

Any word on when these are to be added? Will the quests be available in all three covs? Will the quest lines start at the lower levels or will they kick in at the higher levels like the Riften area?

We'll have to wait and see.

/sarcasm

Other more pressing new content that will get abandoned shortly after implementation, has to be seen to first(before bug/stability fixes long overdue-some from beta even).

2015 if we are lucky.

They implied in an interview that it'll be a few more content updates before they introduce those quest lines. They will be available in all three alliances, and they've implied that the quests will be available to low and high level characters (although how they plan on that hasn't been revealed yet).

Rumors say this summer. Other rumors says fall. I hope July.

There's another thread on the forums that just mentioned this. According to an IGN interview with Zos they said we shouldn't expect it until the fourth major update. Considering we just had our first with Craglorn, and each major update is "Supposed" to be every 4-6 weeks, you can do the math and see it's going to be a while.

Our next major update is tomorrow, so that means 2 more, if that count is to be believed.

Thanks everyone for the input.

My guess is the DB and TG will be tied into the justice system, possibly not related to levelling Xp but earning justice points or reputation for the guild to unlock skill tree/ gear rewards.
This would allow players of any level to join.

Though, I could be completely wrong.

All I know is I am going to be the best thief ever being how I have 1 million lock picks.

All i want to know is , can i get shadowmere in the dark brotherhood?

To me this horse is near to a must on a TES game nowadays.

IT seems odd that these two were omitted from rollout, these are staples for NBS.

That was fast.

And it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense, unless one person is allowed to have Shadowmere at a time.

Well , i dont care much for what explanation they will have for this , still , i dont see much need for one anyway.

We all did the same epic quests , we can all dress like manimarco or a golden saint for example and do other things that , should not happen because we are the only one hero that did this or that.

The same could be said about we all having a certain unique weapon from the end of the fighters guild quest line , which also we could say only one should be able to have at a time and so on.

In the end , this kind of logic where only one should have something because there is only one in the world is already completely broken in this game , there is no need to create an extra explanation to shadowmere.

Personally I hope that they will follow the same levelling as the other Guild quests (8/15/25/33/43) by default, but that they will scale up in level if you complete them later on.
I hope they don't make them Veteran content (ie for 50+) as everything new so far has been Veteran. Scaling them like PvE Cyrodiil quests may be the best idea, but they should have default levels of 8/15/25/33/43 rather than 50 like Cyrodiil.

Didn't they already say it was planned to "unlock" them at vr1?? Sorry i don't have a source to confirm but i thought that was the confirmed rumor

Gilvoth · June 2014

the armor and weapons and skill line for both dark brotherhood and thieves guild should all be endgame rerward. now, as in oblivion and skyrim you were allowed to start with the db and tg armor it would be leveled up with you from time to time but when you join them you do get the weaker lower leveled set to start out.

Gilvoth · June 2014

morrowind was a different situation all together

Haven't heard that one, but I don't pay attention to everything so I may have missed it. I hope not though. I want to take my characters through all guilds together at 8/15/25/33/43; Guild progression should be consistent across Guilds, and not tie two of them into Veteran simply because they came out later. Every guild should have content at the same level, so if you want to join one and not the others, you have the opportunity at the same level.

What I would also like to see further down the line (think next year and beyond) is a sort of "Round 2" of Guild Quests for V1-V5, a "Round 3" for V6-V10, maybe a "Round 4" if higher VRs exist then, with each Guild getting a whole new storyline each time.

The lower levels need new content too, and the first set of quests for TG and DB are prime candidates for this since that's where the other guilds' quests are.
