This is a genius idea for a mod. Please tell me someone's working on this. Would be so good to hear her new dialogues bitching how her empire is crumbling down, and visiting her in jail and her whole family.

Ok I've played Skyrim many times unlike you it seems she actually had no ties to the dark brotherhood there's a letter next to her effigy which complains about the fact the Dark Brotherhood never contacted her so all her boasting knowing them is just an empty threat

Love Ilia. She's the first follower I ever had that killed a dragon by herself for me. I find her prettier than Serana. Much less annoying than Serana too. The most underrated, in my opinion, is also the earliest follower you can get. Faendal. Give him good armor and weapons and he does a fine job tanking for you. He's a scrawny elf so he gets overlooked.

I do the thieves guild honey quest successfully, collect the reward - then AFTERWARDS go back and burn all the hives! I also have a habit of using the Ice Form shout on Maven if I meet her.

Funny being a god dealing with these things but doing so I chose not even being the dragonbore yet

I'm so split on the Soul Carin. As a piece of gameplay its terrible, boring, very little to do, tedious, and its super easy to get disoriented. But its meaningless, depressing, and disorienting nature is perfect from a lore standpoint. You really get the feeling of how horrible it would be to be stuck there forever and I think thats exactly what they were going for. They could have added a bunch of dungeons, cool side quests, and things to do, but that would defeat its purpose. This isn't some fun place you wanna hang out in. It's emptiness is in itself the classic environmental story telling BGS games are known for. It's a soulless empty hell, and for that I can appreciate it!

I found a mod that let me put a new face on Riften's throne. It's called "A Better Tomorrow" it lets you oust maven for her crimes and put a new modded character on the throne. This means you can take console commands remove maven's essential status and take her and her fam down. But this is a great vanilla way to do this.

What most new players tend to overlook in Ilia (aside from her quest's difficulty) is her preference in Ice Destruction Magic. In vanilla Skyrim, Ice magic is considered one of - if not THE - most overpowered magic element because of its dual damage type, which are HP & Stamina. Most enemies in vanilla Skyrim rely mainly on HP & Stamina for almost every action, especially attacking and moving. Ice magic strips thay way by making enemies have a much slower movement. This becomes even more evident when you start installing perk and magic overhaul mods. Sure, you can just go to Riften proper and spend 500 gold to recruit Marcurio (who is also an equally powerful mage Follower). However, due to his preference for Lightning/Electro magic element, Marcurio is more suited for players/characters who spec into the Ranged Anti-Magic archetype, since Lightning/Electro magic drains both HP & Mana, which are mostly mages, who are also few in numbers compared to the majority of Skyrim's enemies. Ilia offers more versatility with her Ice Magic because she can support both a Ranged and Melee character playstyles.

Which mode do you use to make Illia look like that ?

Illia and frea are goated

Just a little bit more I like to only invest in businesses I know aren’t attached to maven

Maven tries to have you killed if you don’t say the right things to Maul. That’s plenty reason enough to hurt her and destroy the Brotherhood

Illia is my homegirl once i tried her out

Or just use the Wabbajack & turn her into a sweetroll

I like that Crag-jumper lady. She's an archer and she acts like one. Always staying far behind, shoot arrows, no charging the enemies and she doesn't stand in my way.

There are several ways to do the Letrush horse theft. I usually go to Maven and tell her because it undermine her relationship with her son (in my mind). I kill the Black Briar mercenaries and still take the horse. I always felt that Layla Lawgiver was also supposed to be Jarl with either side of the civil war because she has some unique dialogue that only unlocks after you become thane and she says Ulfric is using the Talos worship excuse for his own ambition. There is also a book sitting beside her throne that says Riften used to be much bigger but, the citizens burned it down because the city had become so corrupt. I think you were supposed to be able to rat out Maven.

You know, I was hoping for mod recommendations. Alas, to the Nexus for the search.

Unfortunately, it seems that Maven can't be exiled.

Are you a voice actor? Your narration is god tier

I appreciate this level of pettyness to jab at Maven

My biggest complaint with skyrim is the lack of content for someone who wants to be the genuine good guy. Destroying the dark brotherhood is good, but only becomes an option by murder, whether direct or not. Maven never gets thrown in jail. Thieves guild never apprehended.

I take over the thieves guild and destroy the brotherhood

It always pissed me off knowing when I joined the imperial Legion that maven would become jarl

We do know one thing for certain: from some reason she put a hit out on us, pre-game. That's how we get captured trying to flee to Hammerfell.

Lol i support Maven, at least she can bring in money and wealth into Riften

This is only for coping purposes and nothing more. the best way would have been to end the Thieves' guild like you can the Dark Brotherhood, oh wait, you can't do that. Though your methods does make a very fun early game role play.

If an orphan can hire assassins to take down a mean old babysitter, then whats stopping anyone else from commissioning those same asses to go after maven?

Can you kill any of her children? I believe her daughter works in the alchemy store but she’s actually the only decent one in the family. You could also take EVERY item from her estate/homes.

Sadly I murdered Erandur because I never had the staff of vermena, it’s not worth it at all

I’m confused, you can make a peace treaty for the war but still capture riften and exile Maven? How?

You kinda sound like the Dunmer voice.

It's shame. Only Silver-Blood Family can be wiped out

I always wanted to get rid of Maven

in my opinion, dragonborn is better in terms of content. and dawnguard is better for story but ONLY because of serana. she just made the story so much more interesting and unique even if you want to talk about outside of the elder scrolls games... there is no story like serana's story and your friendship with her. (as far as im aware - and a HUGE bonus points if you have serana add-on mod which makes her story so much better)

I would just install the high king mod and send her for execution

You could also blackmale her by stealing the letter at the Honningbrew Meadery up in the barkeepers room.

I set up a feed box and poison the hay.

Faendal is a top 5 follower of mines. I can get him at level one, he is a capable archer, and trainer. He is the homie

I love Erandur! If only I could marry him in the game he would be the perfect follower 😢

Skyrim has a lot of stories and questlines with loose ends, left alone tales.

I SMELL A MOD COMING ALONG :U

Hmmm i really want an anti maven quest she's so irritating 😂 But then again Bethesda didn't add them😢

Ok so where do I find these elf ? I've searched riften up n down and I can't find him

Im going about it the long way via marriage to her Daughter and lining up myself as her successor 😂

Personally, I wish there was a way to recruit NPCs into the Dark Brotherhood. I'd scoop up that peachy poisoner Ingun...

Here is another way to see it: Do you want: -The Suck boys, emo guys and Furry expansion or -The Hentei tentacle party combo experience with your bro "Party Guy Tentacle Lord" Do you want: -The Giga Chat Dawnguard Gang or -The "We are all peace and love" but actually will cut you in to pieces North gang? Do you want: -Nerd Expansion Bookworm taking to the next level experience or -The "I took the Red Water Scooma and it wasn't that bad really, just woke up feeling dizzy, and pain at the bottom part"

The best way is to banish her to solitude and destroy the dark brotherhood

wasn't she the one who said she could just kill me i would always be like: ''bitch i am the dragonborn i will kill everyoone you sent after me and if you kill me the entire world dies you ain't shit on my boot f off''

Liking your content thus far. You've earned a sub. Keep it up. Ever consider character build videos?

*Dragonborn,* easy. *Dawnguard* is fun, but *DB* just bring so much more in terms of new worldspace, dungeons, likable characters and expansion of the universe's lore. The fact that it's also huge *Morrowind* callback helps too.
