Thief Personality Hype Thread

The 17th is finally here, which means we're only a few hours away from the release of the long awaited Thief Personality.

b6e015edfe9402010d2cf566330e65eb.jpg

To celebrate, have been collecting and studying some of my favorite thief moves and strategies, which I hope to be able to utilise with my soon-to-be favorite new personality

The triple stealth

The looking so cute they'll probably forgive you method

And finally, the difficult but rewarding sleepy pockets tactic

And with that, let the hype train begin!

    YES... Yes... Now with the power of the Thief Personality... And maybe some poor imaginative roleplaying... I will truly become 'Naughty Sophie'! Muahaha

    Gods you are right, I completely forgot!

    I wonder what is it like. The Commander personality we could see on some NPCs and the other personalities were available on the PTS before going live. This one might be entirely new (though I don't know, maybe NPCs do have it and I just don't know which ones do).
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    There are a few NPCs in the Thieves Guild Den who seems to have some unique animations, such as special back lean emote and some interesting sitting emotes. I'm guessing they will be incuded with this personality.

    I'm most interested in the standing and walking/running animations, I do hope they're good.

    If it's anything like the Hype of the Breton Hero costume that once had threads likes this, then prepare to end up throwing up after actually buying and equipping it.

    I don't think there's a whole lot of room for disappointment, unless it turns out to be nothing more than an idle standing animation

    1200 Crowns, no emotes changed, I might give it a pass.

    Can anyone post a video of the walk and crouch animation changes, please?

    Very disappointed in it. 15 bucks for a stance change? HAH. No.

    And 100 crowns more for the turbans? Pffffbtbhthtbt. I'm only geting those because I'll use them, no.

    Okay, I suppose it must be pretty hard to make personalities for the "stealthy" types. The Commander personality is pretty good in comparison.

    Maybe the Duchess (Baroness? I don't remember) personality will be good. ZOS seems to do better with the personalities that are supposed to stand out, like Commander and Heroic personalities.

    So far I saw a good bit of idle animations as well as some facial expressions, the pickpocket animation changed ( the pouch haven't been showing up since 1T when you pickpocket). I haven't seen other animation.

    This was one time when the forum worked. I was so close to buying it, then just happened to drop on the forums and read some of the complaints ... watched a video ... and then exited the game.

    No, thanks. However, I might stock up on some experience scrolls while they're on sale.

    lol, Personalities IMHO should be over the top like the drunk one. I love it, I have all of the emotes hot keyed.

    This is probably one of the bigger let downs I have seen in personalities. I really think they should do a update on all of them to round out the idles, run, walks, sits, lay down, and then the unique emotes. The fact drunk is really the only one that is almost complete (i think run should show the person tripping and rolling more than just shuffling faster) is pretty sad.

    It's not bad having basic ones, but the big ones like thief, assassin, commander, etc. should really overhaul as many animations as possible. I would love if it affected how they attack as well (sloppy drunken boxing for drunk would be awesome).
