According to GameSpot, the Dark Brotherhood DLC gives players an opportunity to become a member of an "infamous guild of assassins" in the westernmost region of the Old Empire, Gold Coast, which was last seen in 2006's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The brotherhood is open for players of any level. In addition, there are new quests, contents and challenging tasks.
