Do you have to sacrifice someone to Boethiah?

The priestess will tell you that you need to gain someone's trust and then sacrifice them before Boethiah. She will give you the Blade of Sacrifice to use for the deed.

Who Should You Sacrifice In The Quest 'Boethiah's Calling'?



Is there a way to fail Boethiah's calling?

Just ignore the quest. Quests cannot be removed, and to use the console to complete it (except when it is cited as necesssary due to a bug), is not recommended and is asking for trouble. Quests are not mandatory - not even the main quest. Pick the ones you want to do and ignore the rest.
