Running a "scraper" or "downloader" program that either does not identify itself or uses fake headers to elude detection. Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine. There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps. Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic.
Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does. Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests.
If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse. The most common causes of this issue are: Rumours usually come from innkeepers or guards and will result in a miscellaneous objective and a quest marker, but other than that can be ignored or followed at your leisure.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. There's a lot of quests that have a rumour as a "pointer", but you can always start them yourself without ever hearing about the rumour this is the situation you find yourself in. This isn't required to begin the main Dark Brotherhood quest, it's just a rumour that points you towards a potential quest.
The "mission" you may be referring to is the miscellaneous objective " Talk to Aventus Aretino" which can be given to you by asking an innkeeper for rumours. So, just go on into the house and speak to him. While the answer provided by Yasskier is correct in itself, it doesn't focus on your question can I continue the dark brotherhood quest even though I have found the home of Aventus Aretino without having been given a quest.Īfter all, the quest to join the Dark Brotherhood is Innocence Lost which only begins when you speak to Aventus - it cannot begin before this point.
