You know that fisherman that asks for the slaughter fish scales? Well I killed him after he gave me a terrible reward.

On my recent character I killed the traveling night elf merchant. You know, the one you have to kill for a later quest in the dark Brotherhood.
Did that get you stuck in the quest line?

Remember that pant shittingly annoying battle with the three Oblivion gates opening the big one?

In the horrid mess of stuttering frame rates and retarded NPCs I accidentally cut down a soldier who ran in front of my sword blows on a Spider Daedra.

At which point every friendly NPC started screaming 'murder' and attacking me instead of the invading minions of hell.

i think it was my first time ever playing the game, i was wandering around and i saw a horse, i had not yet been acquainted with the legal vs crime icons. anyways, someone saw me take the horse and they attacked, just some farmer dark elf lady.. so naturally, being the mighty hero of the realm that i was.. i struck her down and got the message.. worked out great though because i found what became my favorite quest group in the game..

My character was of the Mystic Elf race added by a mod. I don't remember who I killed to garner the attention of the Brotherhood, but when Lucien showed up in my home, I was surprised and angered. Suffice to say, when Lucien realized I wasn't listening, he turned around to leave and promptly became a pincushion. After that, I used the Construction Set to strip all Dark Brotherhood members of 'essential' status and removed the script from their Sanctuary door. I, then, casually strolled inside their little playhouse and murdered them all.

Coincidentally, I did the same to the Morag Tong in Morrowind.

I hope not. I still haven't finished the Dark Brotherhood on that character.

I can't remember the first time, but mostly it's by killing random people. I remember making a little mod that made arrows travel faster and a bit further and increased the zoom (as well as increasing the glare of the sun, making gravity heavier and shortening the length of grass), I had the open cities mod running and the traveler's mod and the very first arrow I fired killed some poor random innocent somewhere off in the yonder horizon. Man I was surprised.

...I was trying to find a way into the Brotherhood, so I shot a random traveller in the face on the highway. I got off scott-free.

I went all postal in a random house in the Imperial City, Waterfront District. There were like four people inside... but the Dark Brotherhood is a questline best saved for the endgame. After killing Rufio and getting the Shrouded Armor, hold off on doing the quest until say level 15. Most of the quests have you killing one foe silently if you do it correctly, so it's not like the Thieves Guild where the final mission involves a 2 hour dungeon trek, or the fighters or mage guild where every quest is a dungeon trek. A good order to do questlines: Main, Arena, Thieves, Mages, Fighters, Dark Brotherhood.

I was doing the Mage's Guild Quests, did the "Finger's of the Mountain" Quest, got the book, gave it to the lady the guild did not want me to give it to, learned a spell from the lady, then i hit the lady with the spell, took back the book and gave it to the Guild.

That's good to know, since I haven't killed Rufio yet. I was on my way to the second story Oblivion gate anyway.

I got pissed off and murdered everyone in a small town that used to be invisible but I helped them, only to kill them for sending me on a quest to get attacked by invisible wolves.

I killed a beggar in her sleep because her voice kept switchin back and forth between a poor beggar and a wealthy Noble I thought she might be pulling a giant scam.

Also everytime I play I always do the darkbrotherhood, then the thiefs guild, then I do all the daedric shrines, and then I start the pilgrimage so my infamy resets and then I do the fighters guild, mages guild, and most everything else.

Man, I just did what I could, I ended up standing back and letting the nonessential NPCs die before I got back into the fray. Also, you any familiar with the Bloodmoon main quest back in the Morrowind-era?

----
Anyway, my experience was quite the sad tale...gather 'round children for a tale of Souls and Swords misunderstanding.

A thirty something Imperial had found himself wasting away in a fetid dungeon beneath the prisons, yet by a stroke of sheer luck AND misfortune he was whisked away to his freedom...at a cost, but that isn't for this tale.

It had seemed like days had passed for the Imperial as he crawled through the slimy and dank structures, but the darkness gave way as he found the exit onto the radiant surface. Wandering along the grassy path, the rusted-armor wearing wretch eventually stumbled into the Imperial City, finding himself once again in the heart of Imperial culture.

...long story short, the would-be Knight waltzed into an armor shop, accidentally picked something up, and then took part in a LARP of the Keystone Cops involving himself and the might of the Imperial Legion...managing to lose all but one guard.

Down by a small dock, they fought, the Knight winded and injured, knew what had to be done, it had to end there. Drawing his old blade and poising himself in a determined battle-stance he waited...only to leap back as the guard lunged, running his blade through the attacker, striking the Imperial guard down in an effort to save his own life and that of the Empire's very existence.

The sole witness? A mudcrab.

Her body never disappeared because it counted as a quest item, and a giftlist spawned on her body that revealed where the rest of her family were.

Cicero Verius I think his name is.

He works for the Black Horse Courier, and whenever he won't give you a copy, he always sounds like he's asking a question.

"Sorry! Only one copy of the Clack Horse Courier per customer." sounds like "Sorry?! Only one copy of the Black Horse Courier per customer?."

I captured his soul in a Black Sould Gem!

The first time it happened was when I was in the Arena and I killed the first opponent. I thought it was only for if you killed them without being provoked.

Then the second playthrough was when I killed one of the guards who are around the woods. He started attacking me for some reason ( I guess a glitch) but I killed him and it gave me that message.
