Assassin personality, really..??

illiadai

so, when I first saw the preview for the assassin personality, I was super excited, like "omg! I have to have it!!"
but! my excitement sadly turned into a huge! let down when I finally got it in-game, seeing as the blade of woe wasn't showing doing certain animations, which makes 'em look ridiculous, sadly :{
even more so when I found out (just today) that it wasn't even a bug it was changed due to feedback from the players, which I strongly disagree with, I liked the idea of running around with a dagger out and being all bad *** anyway, if the blade itself was to much for some players, either don't use it
(yes, that also applies to the sad version we have now, aka players sharing the same boat as I)
or change the animations to fit the new style.

Anyway I've been ranting on long enough now, though I've got a duel question, will we ever see it returned to being held in hand etc or get a animation re-work? and what would you prefer? current, old or a animation re-work.

I'd personally be happy with a animation change or again, a blade in hand - to make it all neat and such, cuz atm it's rather, well ridiculous, like I mentioned above.

I was really thrilled with the personality at first, but eventually I realized that the animations were all on a loop. A few too many times of seeing my character with a blade in mid-twirl while coming out of a crafting session and similar situations, and it felt immersion-breaking enough to turn it off.

Too bad. It's a good idea, it's just that the implementation is a little bit sloppy.

I want the drunk personality coming out so bad. There is also a Heroic personality coming out as well. Someone also data-mined that a "Maniac" personality was coming out (similar to how blood-fiends idle/run) which i cannot wait to get my hands on.

Don't worry, more personality's are on there way

There is an addon on the PC that you can cycle through Emotes when your character is idle.

I played with something like this a long time ago and it was pretty cool. The one I was using was not being developed anymore, I think I might try the current one I linked above.

I toggled it on first, but then I realized, that without this personality my char (Altmer female) was really pretty, but with this personality toggled on her look in the face changed, she seemed pretty stupid to me, her eyes changed too, it was horrible, so I turned it off

Travy_2Hype

I was excited for the personality as well, turned it on and went wild!
After the "fix" it got a little disappointing, then after awhile the personality just started to fade away.

There's just something about how your character stands and walk/run now. Not to mention half the time I use blade of woe and when I'm just standing there and he starts playing with the blade - the blade is invisible... Gah!

I thought cycling emotes wasn't allowed because it's like a macro ingame .

Truth, it also keeps you logged in to avoid idle timers which gets exploited in Pvp

I was really excited when I saw a guildmate flipping a knife in his hands. Then I went out and did the quest. What I cant get passed is the way you stand. There is nothing assassin about it. It just looks creepy and awkward. I stopped using it.

illiadai

I won't lie, I'm kinda excited for the new personalites coming out soon, but I'm also a bit on the fence about 'em, when considering how the assassin turned out.
Though I haven't been on the PTS to test 'em out (Ps4 and my pc is waaay to old to handle it) so only time will tell, but here's hoping cuz i really dig the idea of it.

I was doing a few manually this past weekend that looked pretty funny. Cycled drink from a bottle into sickened (puking), then back to drinking from a bottle, sickened again, then drunk (guy just standing kinda slouched looking wasted) then play dead. A couple times I went straight to play dead mid drink. Looked funny as hell.

yeah but with assassin you do a weird run withyour flank pointing forward

MacCait

I too was so excited about the Assassin personality... then I saw him stand... and I thought 'WTF?'... I chose to ignore it... but then I saw him run... LMAO seriously?

Game designers: what's up with that guys? Aren't Assassins suppossed to be BAD ASS??? When the Assassin personality runs around, it reminds me of an overdramatic vampire from one of those very early silent films... as for the stand position... (facepalm)

The only thing I like are the knife animations. If it were not for the run, and stand animations, i'd keep it on.... but they are just too BAD... and not in a good way lol

Gargath

I'd like to see a "crafter personality" played when someone is in crafting mode at a station. Now we see a bunch of players standing like a peg doing nothing, when we could see them working in some simple animation. Much better for the immersion .

ShirleyShine

The Assassin personality looks ludicrous.
I cringe when I see people using it.

Van_0S

I am guessing that personality will cost 2k+ in crown store, in the future.
On the topic,
True, I didnt like that assassin personality.

CerseiL

I removed animation as soon as I saw how I run also if I were an assassin I suppose I would not want to advertise it

belfong

I enjoy the Assassin personality, yes, even the way he stands. But I feel bumped to see him running with his right hand flanked to the back and holding, nothing! The running stance is nice, please make the return of blade.

Wash your hands is no better...it lasts literally 1.2 seconds...if I washed my hands in 1.2 seconds I think I might get sick
