📋 About This Mod

  • -Huge thanks to those who have endorsed! I really appreciate it ^_^
  • -----------

-2. 2 Update-

Members of the Dark Brotherhood should no longer be vulnerable to the reverse-pickpocket method. The dialogue will no longer appear for NPCs marked as "protected". Vincente will now be added to the playerfaction upon interacting with him. ------------

-For those having trouble finding the camp-

Fast travel to Falkreath, turn 180 degrees and run down the road, away from Falkreath, until you reach the intersection. Make a sharp left there, and you'll be on a road that inclines until it intersects with a higher road from the right. Make a sharp right onto that higher road, and go until you see the camp on your left. ------------

-Description-

Purification of Skyrim is basically a love letter to the the Oblivion Dark Brotherhood quest. You'll start by finding the camp of a mysterious individual who is on his way home from Cyrodiil, and (hopefully) walk away with the lost recipe for Poisoned Apples, the tool used in the Dark Brotherhood's third Purification.

At its core, the mod is very simple. It allows you to:

-Craft Poisoned Apples at any cookpot using one apple (red or green, although the crafted item will always be red), thirteen deathbell, and one human flesh. You can only do this after acquiring the recipe. You can now purchase human flesh from Babette in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary near Falkreath.(If it turns out that human flesh is still too hard to come by to make using the apples viable, let me know and I'll consider changing the recipe.)

-Offer the apples to the people of Skyrim via a dialogue option.

-Slip them into the pockets of unsuspecting victims using Skyrim's pickpocket system.

Obviously, the pickpocket option is directly tied to your pickpocket skill and overall ability to be sneaky. Thieves will be good at this, which is why this method can not be used to kill members of the Thieves' Guild. It should be noted that I wasn't aware of the existence of the "poisoned" perk until a couple of days ago, so my mod works completely independent of it and does not require the player to have it. From my understanding of the perk, it wouldn't allow the apple to have the effect that I had in mind anyway, but I could be wrong about that.

The availability of the dialogue is directly tied to your speechcraft skill level and relationship with the victim.

Purification of Skyrim is a quest mod that adds the ability to craft and use Poisoned Apples, inspired by the Oblivion Dark Brotherhood quest. Players find a camp, learn the recipe, and can then offer or reverse-pickpocket the apples to NPCs. It includes a 2.2 update that fixes issues with protected NPCs and adds a human flesh vendor.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 403 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
  • Adds a unique quest and crafting mechanic that pays homage to Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood.
  • The 2.2 update shows active maintenance and addresses gameplay exploits.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2016, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
  • Recipe requires human flesh, which is rare and may force reliance on the added vendor, potentially limiting early use.
  • The pickpocket method is tied to your pickpocket skill, so low-skill characters may find it unreliable.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who loved the Oblivion Dark Brotherhood questline and want to recreate that experience with a new quest and craftable poison. Also for stealth/assassin characters who enjoy creative kill methods. Skip if you're not interested in quest mods or prefer combat-focused content.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Fast travel to Falkreath, turn 180 degrees and run down the road away from Falkreath to find the camp—follow the description's directions carefully.
  • If you're playing with mods that alter the Dark Brotherhood or Falkreath area, be aware of potential conflicts.
  • Save before reverse-pickpocketing to avoid unwanted bounty if you're caught.
