Ah, I didn't know... wait how are Cicero and Babette still alive if you've destroyed the Brotherhood?

Also Cicero is probably my least/most favorite follower at times. Particularly when I pass him in the Dawnstar Sanctuary and he just blurts out "Let's kill something *Mad cackle*"

Now there *is* Skjor who is technically already dead but I don't know if he's available as a follower what with the whole "I'm dead but I keep showing up anyway" thing.

Well, what I learned you could do is, take one follower, or "friend" for the ebony blade, and kill them, and then afterwards use the reanimate body spell and kill them again and rinse/repeat... works like a charm.

I haven't joined the Thieves Guild yet - and may never do so with this character - but that's certainly something to store away for future reference. If in a future playthrough I take the other option with the DB then the problem may solve itself. I'd have to be playing someone evil enough not to care about betraying a follower's trust like that.

There's GOT to be someone you don't care for

[QUOTE[ If you take the time to go up in more of the Dwemer lifts the first time you go through there - both Alftand and Blackreach - you can open a lot of previously locked surface access points from the inside. You don't have to use them for anything to finish that particular quest - just go up to the surface, open the surface gate, and go right back down. But it provides more points of access for both places later on if you want to go back, so you don't have to go through the Alftand Glacial Ruins or even go back to Alftand unless you want to. I'm pretty sure there's at least one lift that you can use to get from the surface into Blackreach without going through any of the midlevel ruins, maybe two.[/QUOTE]

Ah never thought of this, might have to try this next time though as it was a pain in the arse to go through the Dwemer ruin ON TOP of Blackreach just to get to it
