Skyrim is a very serious game. It rarely has moments of fun silliness aside from perhaps the Daedric quests. But, a lot of the Dark Brotherhood quests have that same seriousness, or rather lack of whimsy ambivalence that made Oblivion's quests so near and dear to a lot of people's hearts. Which is why Bound Until Death, the quest that has you murder a woman at her own wedding is so memorable.

There are so many options and so many little details that make the quest so much fun. You can snipe her, crush her with a rock, or walk up to her and put an axe in her face. This is one of the few times Skyrim embraces the ideals of Oblivion and makes a fun not-so-serious quest.

Not to mention that you can walk up to the wife and tell her you are about to kill her. One of the best parts of the Dark Brotherhood has always been the taunting dialogue you can impose on a target should you decide to go for a more face to face approach.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
