At QuakeCon, moments ago, Todd Howard has confirmed that The Dark Brotherhood will be in Skyrim.

Bethesda has been claiming for awhile now that there is a whole host of information that they are still sitting on, but that will trickle out in the coming weeks. This is a big one for me since I found the Dark Brotherhood lines of quests some of the best to be found in Oblivion. Sure, joining a fighters guild is all well and good. You get to fight. But to be a terrifying assassin of the night is something I think we can all get behind. <insert joke about rogue's doing it from behind here>.

In any case, it's great to see the tradition of these different outfits and guilds making it back into the new game, and my fears that Skyrim will somehow not be as ample as its predecessor are slowly dissipating. And I await the chance to have more 'favorite moments' in the new world they are crafting.

As for Oblivion, coming to be the head of the Dark Brotherhood was my favorite moment. What was yours?
