In particular, the ability to craft spells. Perhaps as a way to streamline Skyrim a bit to appeal to more players, some of the complexities of Oblivion were left behind. That kind of thing doesn’t happen to cool people, does it? In Oblivion, it does. Lucien was the slickest and coolest dude in the game, someone far too cool to wind up dangling upside down with half his face gone. It’s a truly shocking and dispiriting moment to see him strung up naked, dead, and mutilated. Lucius winds up being blamed for the mis-killings, tortured, hung like a side of beef, and even partially eaten. You can even convince one of the two remaining guests to kill the other, making your job that much easier. You can talk to your targets, discover the best ways to isolate them from the rest of the guests, and bump them off one-by-one, always deflecting the suspicions elsewhere. The story includes an amazing mission to visit a party where you’re assigned to kill everyone in attendance, with a bonus goal of making sure no one ever knows you’re the killer.

Taking a nap after killing someone who perhaps didn’t deserve it resulted in a recruitment pitch from a member of the Dark Brotherhood, Lucien Lachance. The best, of course, was the Dark Brotherhood questline (spoilers to follow). Oblivion had the Fighter’s Guild questline and its gut-wrenching reveal after you wipe out a group of goblins, the Mage’s Guild story filled with intrigue, necromancers, and a surprising amount of destruction, and the Thieves Guild quests which culminate in the thrilling theft of an Elder Scroll from deep within the Imperial Palace.

When you successfully snatch the book, your journal will update and tell you to get back to Armand.The guild storylines in Skyrim had strong stories and enjoyable adventures, but they absolutely pale in comparison to Oblivion’s. If this happens, reload the Autosave that happened as you left Amantius' house and try again. If you get caught doing this, or try to pinch something else, the guards will come and arrest you. Keep following her until your icon indicates that nobody is looking at you and then pickpocket the diary. Follow her out of the door and go into Sneak mode. If you were slow getting here, you'll find that Methredhel has beaten you to the punch as she walks out of the door with the book in hand. If you were extremely fast, you'll have a chance to locate and swipe the book yourself. It is an average lock, so you shouldn't have much trouble. You'll have to pick the lock to Amantius' door to gain entry. Fast travel over to the Temple district and find the door. If you don't have any lockpicks, buy some from Armand before taking off. When you do, you'll be pointed towards the Temple district and Amantius' house will be pinpointed on your map for you. When the option to give them money comes up, make sure you give them the 5 coins.

Talk to them and mention Amantius Allectus. There should even be one right next to the entrance to the garden you're in. You are also given the hint that the beggars might be able to help you find Amantius. The only rule is that you may not kill anyone, including Amusei and Methrdhel that you are competing against. Whichever one of you steals Amantius Allectus' Diary first will be given the membership. Tell him that you want to join the Thieves Guild and he'll put you into a contest with two other would-be members. Speaking with Armand Christophe at midnight in the Garden of Dareloth will allow you to begin this quest.
