1.Features
================================================== ===================
The plugin is labeled "ESL" and has an extension of ".esp", so you can place it anywhere in your mods load list.
This mod creates an MCM menu with the following options related to the Dark Brotherhood (uploaded image):
Mark as essential
- "Torture Victim" - Allows you to mark torture victims as essential. You'll be able to stab, punch, kick, torture, etc. as many as you want without worrying about killing them.
- "Shadowmere" - Makes it impossible for a Shadowmere to die (useful even if it is already difficult to kill a Shadowmere).
Task
- "Start DB Forever Mission" - Allows you to start this mission immediately as if you were approaching the Night Mother.
- "Start Special Request" - initiate a random mission and the courier will send you a 10,000-word letter with encrypted information related to your target (in case someone opens the letter on your behalf). There are 8 random missions available: i) Rogue Guide; ii) Bandit Leader; iii) Sworn Leader; iv) Vampire Master; v) Talmor Judiciary; vi) Royal Officer**; vii) Stormcloak**; and viii) Orc Warrior. The first four missions will randomly select a target on an NPC that exists in your world, while the last four missions will spawn targets at random locations. You can continue performing these tasks for as long as you wish.
*The target never spawns in Windhelm or Volkihar castle.
**The objective may spawn in an empty military camp (this is a mission I made sure to play even if the Civil War was complete).
Gold card rewards
This section will allow you to change the rewards you receive when launching the Dark Brotherhood Special Requirements.
other
- "Shadowmere Speed" - Allows you to change the speed of Shadowmere up to 3x faster.
- "Add Tortured Persons" - Adds two pieces of human flesh and two drops of blood potion to each tortured person. To obtain these shards, you must pickpocket the victim (take it from them!). Once you activate this option, you will need to wait three days before you can cheer for these torture victims again.

Why did you …
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
