The BBFC has confirmed the existence of cannibalism in Skyrim. I'm curious as to how this aspect fits into the game: Is it quest related like in Fallout 3? Where does the quest originate?
What are the pros (quest rewards, etc) and cons (reputation decrease, etc) of choosing to cannibalize?
You'll get the ability to eat any humanoid creature by completing a quest chain that results in acquiring the Ring of Namira.
In Markath, you'll meet Kleppr and Frabbi, who will tell you a rumor about the Hall of the Dead. This sets up a quest chain that eventually leads to meeting Namira, who will give you a choice as to whether or not you should consume your first dead body.
If you do, she'll grant you the ring, and when wearing it, you'll gain the cannibalism ability.
