Alright, now the title is at best vague, but stick with me! Ever since I finished the Thieves Guild questline, I've been intrigued by this thought. [SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THIEVES GUILD]
At the end of Speaking With Silence, Karliah tells you that she "made a split-second decision" when she shot you instead of Mercer Frey. It had me wondering...what would have happened if Karliah made a different decision? That's why I'm here, requesting someone re-write the Thieves Guild questline to reflect a different choice than the one Karliah made. Does she take the shot at Mercer? If so, does she miss, or is she lucky enough to hit him? Or maybe she drinks her Invisibility potion and simply hides, leaving the DB and Mercer Frey to fight it out?
This is really a prompt where I'm asking the A!A to reconfigure how things turn out for the Dragonborn, Mercer Frey and Karliah as a consequence of her altered decision. There's no need for any relationships, but I'm not opposed if you want to throw any in there. Dragonborn can be any race and/or gender the A!A's heart desires. Let's see what you guys can come up with!
