Who did you sacrifice??

Post by K Candyman »

Hi peepz,

In the quest Boetiah's calling you need to sacrafice someone.

I killed Marcurio the mercenary in the Bee and Bard, why? just because i don't like mages in combat as follower. and he ruint y cover in a dungeon once so I made him pay:Twisted Evil: Mwhahaahahaha

Who did you kill to gain the favor of a Deadra?

I didnt sacrifice anyone, as I dont like that sort of thing. Its the same reason I chose to leave the ebony blade behind the whispering door.

Oh, and Marcurio is my husband and loyal follower, so I greatly disapprove of your choice. :wink:

(Although I did kill that priest for molag bal, but I think the priest was evil).

Apology accepted! Lol

No, not evil compared to the Daedra, but evil in general. I dont mind sacrifices so much if the person is evil, but definitely not if they're innocent.

I wonder who people picked out of the 3 people in the shack for the Dark Brotherhood? Only the Khajit seems to be nasty? But that is another question and not what you were asking. :)

I've only ever done this quest once, and I think I sacrificed Sven. I hate bards.

With regards to Aarah's comment, I always kill the woman. One: she's a b****; and two: I usually play a Khajiit when I'm doing a stealthy character, so no killing my brethren if it can be avoided.

He is a devoted follower to my Bosmer thief, Lieth. Their strong bond has manifested into his restless wolf syndrome, since he drank her blood and became a werewolf too. :heart:

Lieth is my only character that sacrificed anyone. Nadja Stone-Arm or whatever her damn name is. Little Bosmer had enough of that woman's torture. AND she flirted with Vilkas at their own wedding! So when the chance came up to get rid of her, Boethiah took her soul. Or carcass. But no one in Jorrvaskr knows what happened to Nadja. Lieth says she went to wake her one evening and the woman was gone. She's never been seen or heard from since.

Vorstag, because I didn't know him at all. Even as an evil character I'm generally against betraying my actual friends. He apparently considered me enough of a friend to leave me some money though, which made me feel pretty guilty.

The correct answer is Astrid.

I also sacrificed Marcurio for pretty much the sane reason.
As for the victims in the abandoned shack I killled them all.

On my first character (and the only one I've done the quest with), I sacrificed Faendal.
The way he was following around and pining over my wife was just plain creepy.

I've never completed the entire quest. But the one time i wanted to test what happens when you use the pillar, i brought along Aela the Huntress and killed her; mostly because of my hatred of her and the Companions.

I've done this quest twice, I think. First time Adelaisa Vendicci was the lucky winner, and I believe Torvar volunteered the second time.

I hate followers so I have no qualms really about sacrificing any of them. I think if sacrificed sven and one of my many housecarls. Ive only ever done the quest like twice because I rarely use heavy armor and I thought the enchantments were totally wasted on a set of heavy armor too.

For the abandoned shack I first killed the nord because he was the one that seemed the least obvious choice and I assumed it was some sort of "never judge a book" lesson. When I found it doesn't matter either way I started just killing them all, or killing astrid depending on if I wanted to follow the questline or not.

My Bosmer vampire lady sacrificed Lydia because she got her for nothing and had no other use for her. My Breton witch sacrificed Talvas (Neloth's assistant) after adventuring with him for a while because she thought it fitting to choose a Dunmer, considering their worship of Boethiah; it was a hard decision because she'd grown rather fond of the guy, but hey, that's why it's a sacrifice. Ironically, neither of them ever wore the mail.

As for the shack, if I don't kill Astrid the question is not whom do I kill but whom do I kill first :Twisted Evil: . If I'm a werewolf I usually eat all four of them.

Lydia =P. So far the only one I have sacrificed too. I was playing my crazy altmer Asul who does very spontaneous decisions. Lydia just happened to be the closest available follower when he was hit by the idea of actually doing this quest. It was nothing personal. The sad/stupid part of this is that Asul doesn't even use heavy armor so the reward only serves as his home decoration. Oh well.

I killed the warrior in the shack and hired a random nord from a pub for the Boethia

both of these murders were done with my first character who committed them for the sake of curiosity rather than role play

for the favour of a daedra i spose the Boethia priest for Molag Bal, but i also accidentally killed Viles dog with the rueful axe

We've had this discussion already recently: A Jerk For Boethiah? Some people might not reply to this thread because they already answered the question there.

My only character who's done the quest chose Eola the Cannibal, on the basis that she liked the idea of sacrificing a follower of one Daedric Prince to another, and followers of Namira are completely bloody creepy! It's one thing to eat people who are already dead, but quite another to deliberately kill someone so you can eat them!

For Boethia, I usually sacrifice Faendal. Sometimes Stenvar, since he's just down the road. :P

As for the Abandoned Shack, I talk to everyone for the speech xp, then I execute them. :Twisted Evil:

For the time the I did join the Dark Brotherhood, I killed all three of them after talking with all of them.

As for Boethiah, I sacrificed Lydia.

(I also recently posed this question on the Google+ community Skyrim, although I am not sure if it was before this was posted.)

The Dark Brotherhood initiates are a handy sacrifice, because they're relatively expendable and frankly, not all that interesting as NPC followers. The DB and this part of Boethiah's quest being pretty complementary.
