No night activities

Still reject the nocturnal oath and complete the Thieves Guild's quest to still become the guild leader.

Say no to nightly vows

A simple mod to avoid Nocturne's deadly embrace of your soul.

Annoyed that in order to complete all the prerequisites to becoming Guild Master, you have to take the Nocturnal Oath and sell your soul to Daedra?

Frustrated that you have no choice but to give up your soul and live in the Everglades forever in order to defeat Mercer?

Do you hate being confused because Bethesda won't give you an alternative to do something other than "do what you want" or not finish the game?

Have you ever wanted to quit a mission because it wasn't the right fit for your role, was it really not an option?

What does this mod do

Gives you the option to refuse the oath, in which case Karliah will fulfill the contract on your behalf.

Alternatively, you can continue working normally like plain vanilla. The only difference is that you now have a choice: no more rail.

(If you refuse, Karliah will return the "Master Key")

Is it worth it for me?

Professional: Your primary spirit. Damn night.

And you can still become Guild Master.

You can keep the keys for a period of time if you wish,

Just like vanilla: you just need to avoid Karliah.

After Karliah returns the key, you will receive the bow:

(Karliah will give it to you as it appears to be her personal property)

Scam: You must return the Nightingale Armor

(You're not a nightingale, so why does Nightwing let you keep it?)

You also don't get the Nightingale perk. For the same reason.

There is no Night Shrine in the TG tank either.

You do not have permission to access Tomb of Twilight.

They are breaks.

So how does it work? What will happen?

You can now choose to refuse the Night Supper Oath before entering the Chamber of Secrets.

You then return Nightingale's armor (as does Brynjolf, since it seems his heart is not in it either)

As usual, head to Irkngthand to take on Mercer Frey.

After escaping, Karliah will tell you that she will change the key back and leave.

After an appropriate amount of time (24 hours) Karliah will speak to you again,

She had returned the key. She will also bow to you to express her gratitude.

(You have to get a prize for helping her avenge her lover, right?)

Congratulations! You have now completed one of the necessary requirements to become a guild leader.

How to install?

Select your version and use the regular Mod Manager and install it before agreeing to take the oath from Karliah.

Do not attempt to delete the mod until the diary shows Dark Returns completed (Karliah returns the key and talks to you)!

So, why do this?

To be honest, I was really depressed about having to sell my soul.

Become a guild master? Just to defeat Mercer Frey? real? !

That's a "no" to Bethesda. I like choices. You can return

Keys or others can be substituted. Is that too much to ask for?

You can do it the Bethesda way, or some other way.

Your choice. Simple.
