Thank you!

that Rooster sounds and looks awesome, happy to finally get an assistant that Launders so i do not need to go to an Outlaws Refuge anytime i pickpocket furnishings.

Yay pink weapons!

The extra money for only the corgi (as cute as it is) is a lot for a little, but better than the costume for Season 0. I wish Premium or Premium+ came with Crowns, as well, as the Tome Points you get aren't too much of an incentive, especially with them not rolling over to the next Season (with the 2k limit).

I would like a quest where Lady Laurent is turned into a corgi. Ty for considering.

Wish Pirharri the Smuggler would both launder and fence too.

I first saw the post about this upcoming tome on Reddit, and they have large image of the rooster as the preview - I actually laughed out loud thinking it's going to be a mount

That would be a must purchase just for the laughs. I love the black and green feathers combo, but blue breast was unnecessary addition for my taste. A bit of yellow highlights are acceptable.

The assistant who can both fence and launder sounds good... But I will wait for feedback from other people who buy it - if interacting with this assistant causes my character to dismount as well, I am staying with my trusty Pirharri - I can interact with her while sitting on my mount, the comfort of this is unbeatable

Plus, I still have to visit outlaw's refuge for the dailies.
Also, I think if Thieves Guild would still remain a paid DLC, Pirharri would get her functionality upgraded to laundering items too... But now she is free item

Hyena mount would be cool, if it was a new mount model. I like the muzzle details alot, but heavyweight model looks strange as Hyena.

Shiny weapons produce light on environment, leave nice trail of particles and have cool sound. But weapons from Season 0 tome had nice little sound when activated too - and it was removed, devaluing the purchase a bit

Sadly, I never recorded the sound from current weapons so I can't even show how they sounded, but in anticipation of removing another feature from cool weapon styles, here is how the upcoming weapons sounded on PTS:

Please, stop adding weapons with cool sound effects if you plan to remove those sounds later! Prior Thierric style got the sound greatly silenced after few years of being sold with loud sound effect; Whispers of Sithis weapons are bugged again this update, they lost some of their unique sounds again; Akatosh vs Alduin both weapon styles had their cool sounds removed and were never fixed as far as I know... This is depressing and shocking

So you finally managed to make Outlaw Refuges completely redundant with this new NPC that launders AND fences for no fee. Why? I love Outlaw Refuges. They contribute to immersion in this RPG. Just summon an NPC to do everything on the spot is breaking that immersion. What's next? The Banker Assistant being able to do Guild Trader Business? Better not give you any ideas.
I do like QoL implementation but only if it makes the game better. This trend that started with Pirharri not taking a fee comes full circle with the new Assistant. This is too much, in my opinion. The world needs to feel alive. Being able to do almost everything on the spot is just boring. I want to get out there and visit places, not just stand around, summon several assistants and be done.
At least implement a fee on this new assistant (and preferably on Pirharri again). People that don't like the Refuges for their business can still use them for all their services. They probalby won't mind the little fee they take for their services. These players want the concenience, they can spare a few coins. Let us other players who actually want to immerse in the world go to the Outlaw Refuges and don't let this feature be forgotten because there is a jack-of-all (criminal) trades NPC that does everything for you.

You still have other reasons to go to Outlaws Refuges.
- Remains-Silent, the Dark Brotherhood Shadowy Supplier.
- Achievement furnishings.
- some story quests, mostly in Hew's Bane and Daggerfall but some others too.
- Hew's Bane and Daggerfall refuges have the daily heists.
- Necrom Outlaws Refuge is useful for its entrance to the Necrom Underways to farm urns.
- Overland Fences can get rid of your bounty, Assistants cannot.

anyways i love not needing to go through a loading screen to Launder pickpocketed furnishings. Cannot wait for July 8.

- Remains Silent is a rather useless NPC in my opinion
- I don't do housing so furnishings don't interest me at all
- Story is played once or twice, then it loses the appeal
- Done all the heists I care to do but I give you that point
- That's not really something that has to do with Outlaw Refuges as a whole
- That is a valid point I did not think about but probably just a matter of time until an assistant will be able to do that too

I know I am probably in the minority with not liking that new assistant because it is just so convenient for players to do everything in an instant but to me that is just taking away RPG flavor.

Friendly counterpoint: I have Pirharri but I still prefer to go to refuges because of RP. I understand your points but I don't think it takes anything away to have more options available.
