Does anybody know how this works in Skyrim? In Oblivion, you could complete every quest in the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild, and provided you didn’t get caught, you would still be considered a hero in the eyes of the people. I have to imagine that there will be more consequences this time around, if only when it comes to how you are perceived. I’m tempted to play through as a paladin type, as I do in most RPGs, but I’m not sure if my character who does nothing but good deeds would be treated better than my rogue-assassin.

We havent had confirmation either of these things exists and for what its worth, this time around on the "miscellanous stats" page, neither is visible.

Its highly likely both are simple cut.
