📋 About This Mod
The Dark Brotherhood is a blight on Tamriel and you have decided that you cannot allow such monsters to live. You kill their leader and are given a mission from Commander Maro himself to destroy the vermin. (Just ignore the fact that you murdered an old woman to get this far, but, you know, details...)
You risk life and limb to slay the murderous beasts and what do you get for all your trouble? A piddly 3,000 gold.
This mod more than triples the amount of gold you earn, giving you 10,000 gold for ridding Tamriel of one of the most evil organizations to ever exist.
You still get better rewards for going with the Dark Brotherhood, I just thought the reward for destroying it was a bit too small.
My apologies to fans of the Dark Brotherhood.
This Skyrim mod increases the gold reward for destroying the Dark Brotherhood from 3,000 to 10,000 gold, making the questline's payoff more satisfying. It's a simple, lightweight tweak for players who choose to wipe out the faction. With 403 endorsements and 9,140 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life improvement.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 403 endorsements and over 9,000 downloads.
- Makes the destroy path feel less like a slap in the face—10k gold is a proper bounty.
- Zero bloat: it just tweaks a reward, so no compatibility headaches with most setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it might not be tested with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only changes the gold reward—no new items, dialogue, or quest tweaks.
- If you use mods that overhaul the Dark Brotherhood questline, this could conflict with their reward changes.
For Skyrim players who always destroy the Dark Brotherhood but hate the measly 3,000 gold payoff. It's a must-have for role-players who want their anti-assassin crusade to feel rewarding. Skip if you're a Dark Brotherhood loyalist or if you use quest overhaul mods that already adjust rewards.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod in your load order after any quest overhaul mods to ensure the reward change applies.
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate—no FOMOD or manual merging needed.
- Test the reward by completing the quest on a save before the final turn-in to confirm the 10,000 gold appears.
