The Elder Scrolls Online was raised to “18+” by PEGI in 2015 due to its justice system and we understand this all too well with the new trailer for the Assassin DLC “Dark Brotherhood.” It indeed shows a true bloodbath!
Last year we reported that TESO was raised by PEGI from “16+” to “18+” with the introduction of the justice system. The reason: You can now (almost) kill any NPC – whether friend or foe – and possibly even get away with it.
Until now, there haven’t been many good reasons to become a murderer. This changes abruptly with the new DLC “Dark Brotherhood.” Because here our “hero” becomes an initiate of the mysterious assassin cult that has spread fear and terror in Tamriel for centuries.
As if from the Assassin’s textbook!
If anyone still doubts the content of Dark Brotherhood, they should take a look at the (English) trailer for the DLC. In the video, we actually just see the same scene over and over: An assassin sneaks up on a poor soul, draws the dagger, and stabs the victim from behind.

The creators of the video seem to have placed great emphasis on variety, as the displayed killing animations are always different. From the classic throat cut to the kidney stab and the heart thrust from behind through the ribs, everything is included that makes an assassin’s heart race.
The new DLC “Dark Brotherhood” is therefore not for the faint-hearted; they might prefer to stick with the nice scoundrels and ne’er-do-wells from the Thieves Guild from the previous DLC “Thieves Guild.” What do you think about the trailer and the idea of becoming a ruthless killer who stabs anyone and everyone when the quest requires it? Write it in the comments!
