*I I received the personality as soon as I got to the gold coast.

*I really like this idea as it adds more ways for you to customize your character. The whole costume/personality/hat/skin has really allowed me to make a unique and visibly appealing character. The only thing I wish was different was to have the skeleton polymorph be a skeleton skin instead to further customization.

*This new feature is something that I didn't know I wanted till I got it. I can't wait to see what kind of personalities are added in the future.

*It was very easy to tell what changed with the different idle pose and animations my character had with this personality equipped.

*I would say the only thing I didn't like about this personality is always having the dagger out and playing with it even when running. I feel it would be better to have the dagger animation be active less often.

Did you receive the Personality after going to the Gold Coast?
- Yes, immidiately after porting via wayshrine

Did you enjoy being able to customize your personality?
- Yes, though I would only use one, if it fits my character exceptionally well. I enjoy the difference on character screen.

What are your overall impressions of this new feature?
- It is good and bad: I like the stance, it is nicely cheeky. Idle animation is fantastic, running ok. Anything on this personality looks weird with dual wield, other weapons not so disturbing. Eating apple looks like my char is happily eating his dagger. Dagger often looks like it's glued to the hand.

Were you able to easily tell what changed on your character?
- the dagger is very obvious, but other animations changes were easy to spot and different enough from normal.

Do you have any other general feedback?
- I think personalities will be great for role players, and most likely shake a little role player out of others. I would use a personality, if there happens to be matching one, otherwise it's better to go woth normal.

I received the "Assassin" personality as soon as I teleported to the Gold Coast. To be honest it wasn't something I was expecting, and I didn't have much understanding of what it was. As soon as I equipped it, I completely understood - this is such a cool idea and with enough personalities on offer in due time, this will be a brilliant tool for role-players. I do think that it would be better to achieve the personality when starting the Dark Brotherhood quest line, when the skill lines become available.

Only so far having the one personality, it's not entirely helpful for me - my main character is a tiny little templar healer that frankly, dies a lot - so the assassin personality wouldn't really be the best choice of personality for her... But, I am sure that more personalities will follow, including one or maybe two that would benefit my characters and their roles better. For my templar, at the moment I tend to just use the emote /juggleflame when idle (I feel it's the best emote option for a templar).

Overall, I've got a positive first impression, however there sometimes are glitches and bugs, like in every new feature. I do like how the "Assassin" personality changes a character's run and sprint, and I think it would be incredibly cool if the personality would lead the character to reach for the dagger when passing guards and/or potentially dangerous NPC's.

I do like that my character's stance has changed, the way they run and use emotes has changed too. I like emotes, and out of interest I tested how the "Assassin" personality worked with the emotes. Personally, I would have loved if /doom (throat-slit) would include the dagger when making the throat-slit action - for a dark, murderous character that would just be awesome. I've noticed that the dagger appears in the Imperial, Dunmer, Altmer and Regard dances, and in /ritual the dagger just floats by the character's head. Also as previous poster has mentioned, /eat2 often involves the character eating the dagger, meanwhile /drink2 stabs the character in the eye. In addition, /pray often stabs the character in the heart (I know there is a very thin line of comedy somewhere here and I'm not even going there). In my experience, the dagger sometimes gets involved in the following emotes (seemingly unintentionally) - /bucketsplash /cheer /celebrate /drum /dustoff /eat4 /hammer /hammerlow /handtoheart /horn /impatient /lute /plead /pour /rude /self /sit2 /smash /spit /sweep /wand2 (though apparently not /wand) /welcome

I just can't wait to see what other personalities make their way into the game, I also think that being able the buy personalities on the Crown Store would be amazing, as of course we all have different characters in ESO and we would like to be able to portray our characters in a unique way.

Did you receive the Personality after going to the Gold Coast?
Yes

Did you enjoy being able to customize your personality?
Oooh... loved it.

What are your overall impressions of this new feature?
Good ones... Can't wait for more such personalities. I loved playing with that knife even while walking. I want to play with it while riding too.

Were you able to easily tell what changed on your character?
Yes

Do you have any other general feedback?
Ofc. What about this? Wearing certain costumes, pets or personalities... should influence the way you are seen by the people of Tamriel. I mean... I'm just wearing this DB Robe and i'm playing with a knife and people don't even react. I would run in fear. I would look over my shoulder just by seeing one assassin around.
Any emote texts that will make us play with the knife, scarring people etc would be nice too. Like a BOO command. Or throwing the knife command etc.

Great addition to the game, but it would be cool if it changes your combat and running animations as well. Awaiting barbarian/ savage warrior personality!

I really like most of it, but the dagger is just too much. My character is constantly fiddling with it - and I prefer a stealthy intelligent assassin with a bit of a swagger (which most of the personality portrays well) over blade-obsessed psychopath. Have the dagger only show up for the occasional twirl, rather than out constantly with my character seemingly fixated on it.

i love the idea and hope to see more in the future. as to this particular one, i have to agree with this sentiment. to much playing with the blade. seems more like a ruffian then a hardened elite assassin. also, the run animation seems off.

I read somewhere that the assassin personality was supposed to change the eat apple emote...? It had me eat what appeared to be a chicken leg. Not sure if this is intended, but apples are much cooler than chicken legs.

Also, the dagger is overkill.

As for this 'Assassin Personality' Dagger, doing /eat2 followed by /eat3 or /eatbread causes you to sword swallow the emotes poisoned dagger !!!

As previously stated if you had a dagger equipped it clips, however this could be fixed by using the equipped dagger in place of the artificial one in this situation, as for an offhand dagger it could always be drawn and then idle tossed to the correct hand for the emote and back.

^ This would finally give a use to 'tiny' daggers over the main weapons.

Additionally I am aware that this should be possible, due to the apparently known emote glitch that is apparently used by various players to toss a staff in the air (Baton twirling style). - Why is this not a real emote option already?

It also seems to affect various other unlisted (in the tooltip) emotes, although I'm guessing this is a bug.

This is basically like a perma emote right? Isnt there a torch stance as well?

I really really really love this feature BUT it could use some tweaking.
For example: I think some personalities should come in pairs, such as:
Male assassin and Female assassin. And they should have a different stance( because when a female character uses the Assassin personality she kinda looks like a tomboy. That isn't a bad thing to be -mind you- but sometime for an RP'r I would like my female assassin to have more femininity and finesse in her stance as I already play as a female Nightblade bosmer assassin.)
But other personalities like drunk or hold torch doesn't need any variants.

I politely disagree, I absolutely love the cheeky attitude on my female assassin.

I like the change in pose, walk and some emotes, but could the animations with the dagger not be made into separate emotes, rather than making them activate automatically?

Honestly? You know me by now. Fix buggy stuff and class balance first, then we speak, Gina. hehehe

Like the concept, can't wait to see what else come of this.

Not crazy about the running with the dagger out, looks kind of silly and rather obvious for an assassin.
