Assassin personality - Blade of Woe animation making me crazy!

Hey ZOS,

I really love using the assassin personality, however the almost constant Blade of Woe animation is really getting on my nerves. PRETTY PLEASE remove it from the standard idles. Please ZOS.

Every 3 seconds my character wants to check if her blade is still with her and the animation has this annoying metal sound too. Argh I can't stand it! Just please remove it.

    All personalities are annoying. It's why I don't use them. Ditto emotes.

    I like it. Don't want it removed. If you don't like it, don't use the personality.

    There are much more annoying personalities...like Beast on a female character.

    There is an addon that let you customize your own personalities from your collection of emotes, you select which order they play and how long in between.

    It has been complained about for years. They are not going to change it, so your only solution is to not use a personality or use one of the rare subtle ones.

    I have it, but is it possible to make it play the Assassin Personality idle stance, which is the main reason why I’m using this personality? I couldn’t find it from the list of Emotes but maybe I wasn’t looking hard enough.

    I thought you didn't like when Vestige stabs the victim in the temple, then in the eye, then slits the throat :*
    That animations are kinda brutal especially when there is no blood details in the game (bloodstains, blood textures, etc).

    A little controversial, you know )

    Deadlands firewalker is awesome :D And I've gotten used to the Cheerful whistling as well. Telvanni Magister is another great one.

    That dagger with the assassin personality though, I feel for the OP here, it IS annoying XD

    Even if they just slowed that cycle down a little, that would be cool. Doing it every 5 seconds or so makes it seem as if they have a mild case of OCD. Standing next to someone doing it is equally annoying.

    The motion itself is cool though :)

    I love the animation just as it is! I'm not sure, why you picked this personality type, if you dislike it so much?
    But they could make a new one, with the anim triggering less frequently. maybe with a cool new blade!

    The Dark Brotherhood operates in the shadows, striking their victims from where they least expect and, in so doing, maintaining a fearsome reputation. So, let's have shadowy assassins waving their shadowy assassin daggers everywhere they go, including crowded public places full of guards.

    OP here. I wish I had access to the Deadlands Firewalker personality, but I missed out on it.
    And this misses the point that I still would just love to use the assassin personality instead!

    Putting this under a spoiler tag just to be sure - Here's another thing to note about the personality:
    One of the new companion's uses the assassin personality without the blade so I know ZOS is capable of it.

    I use the /sitchair emote a lot. Not even a little bit annoying! (To me, anyway.)

    I don't know that I've ever used a personality.

    On the other hand, I sometimes like to remove all of my armor (since I wear heavy armor) and use the Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood costumes when I'm doing a heist or black sacrament, so I can sneak more successfully without being naked.
    I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!

    Couldn't be as annoying as the Treasure Hunter personality were you crouch down for 30 seconds out of every 35 seconds. Trying to view your outfit is an exercise in futility. I actually like the personality, but you definitely have to change to something else when trying to view styles through the collections menu.

    I use only Televanni magister personality, reward for that irritating Heart of Televanni questline in Vvardenfell. I have not bothered to collect personalities because most I have got old fast.

    This game is rated M for Mature. Not brutal at all considering that.

    And, there are 'blood details' in the game.

    Beast in general is just weird.
