So I broke a quest...Hircine's Hunt Spoilers.

So I was playing Skyrim, having a grand ole time when I come across some sad geezer.
Tells me his little girl was ripped to shreds by a man and he was devasted.
I felt sad for him for about a second before I ran towards city jail to get specifics from the (by now) prisoner.
He informed me he was actually a werewolf, but tricked by Hircine (some Daedric motherfucker).
Funny Daedric boy gave him a ring said to control his bloodlust.
Guess what, he lied.
So he's in jail, wanting me to help out.
 
I agree, and promptly he gives me the ring (which auto equips and stays locked...bloody fantastic) and tells me to go find Hircine, asking me to slay a great white stag to get the Lord of the Hunt's attention.
I make a beeline for the woods, telling my companion to stay put, as I didn't wanna mess up my reputation as a non werewolf to...well...werewolf.
Finding the stag by a small body of water, it curiously raises his head towards me and before he could grasp what was happening he had an arrow in his head.
So a wild Hircine appears and asks me what's up.
I tell him about the ring and that I don't want it.
He considers it while I should appease him some more, ironically sending me after werewolf boy (who transformed and got out of jail I guess) to teach him a lesson.
 
So I do, meet some other sods hired (forced?) to do the same yet most are either dead or dying.
Finding mr werewolf not far into his hiding cave he's genuinely shocked by my presence.
I tell him what Hircine asked me to do.
He urges me to reconsider, he would stay secluded and be my ally.
I agree and together we finish of the rest of the hunters without much trouble.
He thanks me for his help and tells me he will make this spot his home.
I find that I can unequip the ring and drop it quickly before...
 
Planting both my axes in his hairy behind and taking his skin.
Appeasing mr Hircine (fight a werewolf or fight a god? I know what I like) enough for him to manifest as a spirit of sort.
Thanking me greatly and giving me a nice piece of armor fashioned from wolfboy's fur. 
I pick up the dropped ring for future purposes (reverse pickpocketing a transforming werewolf ring into a king/or such's pocket? Yes please!) and loot the hunters.
 
I then walk outside the cave, get confronted by Hircine again who is angry with me for not killing the werewolf...
But wait, didn't he just thank and reward me?
 
He tells me its no matter, since in slaying his other hunters I still proved myself enough in his eyes. 
He happily skips off into the realm of gods in his stag spirit form (queer fellow) and I'm left a little confused.
 
While I'm not complaining, at all, I was a little disappointed they missed this in testing.
I tend to find the limits or break the quests often in these type of games and it reminds me that its not all as open as lead to believe.
 
Thanks for reading!
 
TL:DR version: GET THIS FUCKING GAME.
