Hey all,

I've heard rumours about thieves guild, and dark brotherhood coming in the foreseeable future. But I was thinking...

Does anyone think they'll be coming soon?

Also,
If/When they arrive, What would you think they should involve, I.e. Pros and Cons.
What bonuses do you think they should get, and what do you think should hold them back from say, Other guilds?

I.e Theives Guild:
Pro: Stealth
Con: Less trusting for Bots.

Pro: Pickpocketing ability.
Con: Not all items sellable to merchants.

Etc.

    They have stated they are coming. If I quietly remember it'll be Thieves Guild first and Dark Brotherhood at a later date.

    Let them patch the game-breakers first, then work on additional content.

    I'm quite sure they're either working on it or it's already been queued for release. I'm also certain they've got a storyboard of expansion themes with similar guild features lined up for future release- which would only make sense from a design standpoint. If they don't... it will become evident in time.
    TL;DR - If you got this far without reading the entire post you're either too lazy or suck at reading comprehension and probably don't belong in a public forum anyway. Just move along, you wouldn't understand.

    God NO!

    There's MONTHS of patching needed to make this game fit for purpose and they're adding a whole new zone with no doubt a whole new slew of bugs to patch as well.

    The game doesn't need these guild for a LONG time.

    guess it depends on which iteration of these guilds they go for?
    Morrowind guilds were fairly strict, but they predate the easymode skyrim guilds.

    It's not rumors OP - both guilds, along with the introduction of a crime / justice system will be a future implementation to TESO.

    Do not expect to see them anytime soon though.

    Oh, I'm not expecting them for quite some time, What I was curious for was other peoples views on them.

    I posted the following in another thread but that thread descended into a bit of a fight so I'll repost here.

    It'll be interesting to see how they implement DB as I'm sure I'm not alone in being someone who wouldn't play DB quests, I did in Oblivion and eventually hated the DB, in Skyrim I took the option to oppose them. Essentially it'd be a whole block of content that I doubt I would ever touch.

    I could get behind the Morag Tong, they're more honourable (plus one of the best npcs in the Pact is one of them too); I would like to see them as a playable faction, though technically they'd be largely limited to Morrowind so not sure how that could work as the idea of pursuing targets who've fled from there could only go so far.

    While it would be interesting for them to have a Morag Tong guild for Ebonhart Pact, I think in the interest of makign sure it is available to all the factions, they need to stick with Dark Brotherhood.

    I would like to see more use for stealth in the game, as thieves and DB both depend on it. Right now, it's still a weak mechanic, and not something you can gain 'skill' in. Stealth and lockpicking are both interesting abilities with the potential to expand their functionality if they were made into full fledge skill lines. Right now, all you really have is a passive from medium armor, and couple of class-specific skills, and thats about it.

    @KaiSchober said they plan on releasing new content patches in a 6-8 weeks timeframe.

    Since we will see the Adventure Zone in May, it might be the crime system + guilds in late June, early July?
