  I have to agree with this. The thing that Dark Brotherhood is in more games and their questlines were one of the most interesting, makes them more popular.

  But hell, how can someone like more some sick psycho than badass pragmatic assassin who isn´t killing just for fun?

  That´s what I´m talking about. Pure badassery. Some poor excuse for a ninja can´t beat this badass Dunmer.

  Who says the Dark Brotherhood are sick psychos and the Morag Tong assassins aren't just killing for fun? Couldn't you join both of them for multiple reasons?

  My point is that some time ago I liked those professional assassins. Rational, pragmatic, stoic. Someone who just do his job, who doesn´t really takes pleasure in slaughter.

  So when I tried to play this assassin in Oblivion or Skyrim it was so damn hard, because what these games offer you are sadists, maniacs, lunatics and fanatics who actually don´t give a crap about the gold. They are telling each other gruesome bed stories. See where I´m heading? I dislike their not-professional attitude. And don´t even get me started on Sithis.

  Isn't it fantastic when you have fun in your job

  But i understand. I think they would look a little less sadistic if they would only tell stories of difficult jobs.

   The reason many people think Vivec is the Night Mother or more likely the actual deity that everybody thinks is Sithis is beacuse of Sermon 22, specifically the last paragraph which goes like:

  And then Vivec withdrew into the hidden places and found the darkest mothers of the Morag Tong, taking them all to wife and filling them with undusted loyalty that tasted of summer salt. They became as black queens, screaming live with a hundred murderous sons, a thousand murderous arms, and a hundred thousand murderous hands, one vast moving event of thrusting-kill-laughter in alleys, palaces, workshops, cities and secret halls. Their movements among the holdings of the Ra'athim were as rippled endings, heaving between times, with all fates leading to swallowed knives, murder as moaning, God's holy rape-erasure of wet death.

  The King of Assassins presented to Vivec the Treasure Wood Sword.

  'Milord,' the King of Assassins said. 'The prince of House Mora is now fond of you, as well. I placed him in the Corner of Dagon. His eyes I set into a fire prayer for the wicked. His mouth I stuffed with birds.'

  Hm. I still really don´t get it.

  But what about the theory that there are actually more Night Mothers, not just that dried corpse from Bravil?
