Innocence Lost - Quest Expansion

Quest now features two distinct general paths, with some sub-paths within. Every single new option here is fully voiced using spliced lines.

HITMAN PATHS:

• []If you decide you want to put an end to Grelod's life, you can do so now in style.

  []You still have the chance of killing her the vanilla way by simply attacking her, but if you're a bit classier, you might want to:

  []Poison her wine, which comes with a custom scene. Purple wedding style.

  []This route requires you to first get the "opportunity". Just listen to Grelod talk about her favourite wine and you'll get the prompt/idea.

  []You might alternatively be able to lure her to a secluded part of the Riften docks and give her a little push. (Ludacris style: Move, hag, get outta the way)

  []Killing Grelod (no matter how) means Astrid will have you kidnapped and everything will continue as normal in vanilla.

  ARREST PATH:

  • []You can now have Grelod arrested (with a Karen-esque, can I speak to the manager, funny scene).

    []This route can be taken regardless of having met Aventus Aretino, the only requirement is that you must first see how Grelod treats the children.

    []You can pay a bribe or use your influence as a Thane to convince a guard to have her arrested.

    []Exploring the orphanage might give you more evidence to help convince the guards to help you. (Unlocking a Speechcraft check)

    []Grelod might be visited while in prison. She won't be happy to see you.

    []After informing Aventus of her arrest and returning to Riften, you might hear that she's been found dead in her cell. The kids will be delighted about this.

    []As the contract was fulfilled by the Dark Brotherhood, they won't be kidnapping you anymore. After all, you didn't have anything to do with her murder.

    []CAREFUL: This path locks you out from joining the Dark Brotherhood unless you use the mod below.

    []If you plan to eventually destroy the Dark Brotherhood, I recommend installing "Destroy The Dark Brotherhood - Quest Expansion", which allows you to destroy the Dark Brotherhood without first having to murder Grelod. Fully compatible with this mod. You can either use the full or lite version of that mod.

    AND PLENTY OF SMALL EASTER EGGS:

    []The mod offers a lot of freedom in terms of what you can do and when. I've accounted for these paths with little winks and easter eggs here and there.
