Only one of them had the contract, who did you chose?

All of them.

Why?: Because each one of them had a reason why someone would want them dead.

One of them had to be the right one, so why take the chance?

The Khajiit, on reflection the woman would have been more satisfying, I love Khajiit voices.

The Imperial Woman. Disgrace to the mighty race!

I kill all three every time. Obviously they've done some messed up crap in their lives to get to that point.

The Nord. Out of all three, he seemed most likely to have directly killed someone. The woman seems cranky but harmless, and the cat seems like more bark than bite. Or would that be more purr than bite?

The Khajiit said that he defiled someones daughter i lunged out in fury and stabbed sufferthorn straight into his heart!

i killed the dark brotherhood... all of them

I killed the Khajiit AND the Nord. The Imperial woman gets some respect from me that although she knows she might die, she still vocally attacks her potential killer. She also does so as a semi-innocent person for all we know. The Khajiit, he knows that he's going to die and he spouts crap about defiling someone's daughter. If there was a crucify option, I would've done THAT to the Khajiit. He's a vile entity,.

All...mercy is for the weak.

The Khajit was the true target, check the Clairvoyance spell.

Depending on my character, I either kill Astrid, the Khajit or all three.

Oh come on DarkZerker you didn't kill the Imperial woman, because the Imperials remind you of Caesar's Legion.

Alea Quintus ("cranky woman")

She's the most entitled and least grateful when you spare her. I had killed Astrid on a previous playthrough.

House cats hiss and big cats roar so probably somewhere between the two. ...both kinda' growl though.

the nord because he is a typical mercenarie when you are the one killing everything is good but when its you he is just another p***y!
but when i have my evil character he kills all!!!!

Cross between a roar and a hiss, would that be a ross?

Can you free the others if you only kill one? I've only ever freed them after killing Astrid, which is actually my preferred route.

That's it! Plus, it sounds better than hoar.

The evil kad'jitt usually.

The nord does'nt deserve to die.

The woman, so tempting.

But when you goad you executioner, when they're weighing whether to kill you, you're a idiot.
So the kad'jitt dies.

I do get tempted to kill them all. I think they're all there for a reason.
I might this time.

All of 'em. Why not?

I usually killed the woman...

But that being said there is no wrong answer. All three were wanted dead and it didn't matter if they were innocent or not. It didn't matter if one was a perfect house wife, the other a killer.

All of them. Might as well....

I kill the woman

There is no contract on any of them. Astrid just grabs a few people to test you.

He's a gangster. He's been kidnapped many times before, as he said, and he's usually just roughed up and then set free. He had no reason to believe that his current kidnapping was any different than his previous ones. I actually liked the guy because of that and I don't think he's actually a rapist despite what he said. He's the type of criminal character I'd like to see in Skyrim. The Thieves Guild thugs don't have his charisma or mannerisms. They were dull in comparison. Considering the complete lack of Khajiit in the Thieves Guild, despite their strong presence in the past two games, he really should have been used in that quest line instead of the Dark Brotherhood.

All of them, that way Niamh figured she'd get the right one.
