:\ would it be ok to have my wRHG be just like my character in skyrim? Black cloak, double-daggers, bow and arrow, able to be invisible, and being a lizard? This feels like a stupid question, because I'm sure it's ALLOWED, but would it be acceptable to others?


Honestly, why are you hiding in the shadows of skyrim when you can be slaughtering the soldiers out in the open. Hiding is for the weak, with my strong armor and mighty mace and um, really cool shield I can kill just about anything.

I got a question for you all, is it possible to restart your scores?

1. An unseen assassin may be 'cowardly', but they'll kill you before you could even say that and no one would ever know of your disappearance. Stealth exists for efficiency and getting the job done, not honor.
2. Nope. Don't take wins and losses too seriously, though.

When there's nowhere to hide, you might as well consider your years as an assassin over. Unless of course your foe is either a complete idiot or hardly trained for war.

All and all I would rather be the heavily armored soldier in steel holding the strongest of weaponry in a medieval battlefield rather the light armored guy in cloth and fur hiding behind a rock with nothing but a dagger and a bow with arrows.

Think about it, would you rather be in a medieval tank (aka being a soldier in heavy steel armor) while carrying a sharpened steel sword and iron shield or would you rather be the guy hiding behind a massive boulder in fur and leather armor that has poison and a small steel dagger along with a bow and arrow for weaponry.

Anyway I don't take them seriously but I was wondering since I am no longer Zeus that shouldn't have his points in Cyber virus's score.

Points transfer across characters. Add Zeus's to however many Cyber Virus has.
Anywho

KKA, while I see your point but there is fun in stealth games too.
It takes patience and problem solving which I love. I like
when a game makes me think before I act, plus, in stealth games
there are so many ways to excute the problem before you.
While yeah, I like running into battle and busting caps it gets
repetitive. Atleast for me, I have fun being stealthy.

Deus Ex is example of a really good stealth game, seriously,
you should try out that game. It's awesome. You can also
go the bold way and just run in and kill people too though.
Good luck with that if you do.

When you do stealth right, you'll be a fearsome opponent.

Also, I don't think those scores are for the charactes themselves,
but for the writers progress.

Can't wait to see your character Poison~

Edit: damn so much Ninja

What is this stigma about assassin being weak and knights being the best thing ever. Both kinds of people have their pros and cons. A heavy medieval "tank" you may be but wearing armor is cumbersome IRL, not to mention armor is very unreliable back then. The kind of swords and shields you mention are HEAVY as hell, and you're going to have to take that out sometime. Also, armor and weapons like all equipment break down, requiring blacksmith or some personal counterpart to maintain after EVERY battle.

And assassins dont just deal with killing people. 80% of the time they're mainly spies who deal with espionage and clerical work. They won't need to kill you because they'll be manipulating background events to ensure you're unseated. Assassinations are an option, not an occupation.

@Kingkickass

I'm just going to say... I am skilled very much in fighting people with a dagger in each hand-- quick enough to kill someone before they hit me a second time with their slow-ass axe. Also, bows and arrows aren't just for stealth and assassinations. Remember that old armies had rows of thousands of archers, killing twice as many of the enemy. My point, I can pick off 50 people in full sight without hiding. Versatility... And anyways, being an assassin and/or thief is just fun. You can kill someone however you want, in your own special way, thinking about strategies, and how to get in, when, how to get past guards, etc. I like thinking. :)

Well, let's see if you can write that into an interesting story :3

Hohoho, looks like there's a new face in town. And that might be a BADASS! Good luck, mate. A stealthy warrior can be a dangerous foe...

You best not forget about Cyber virus, the stealthiest of us all. I can list why he is the stealthiest if you wish?

He's a ghost. Not much to say.
PS: King, can we have an "exihibition" match?(Doesn't count towards win) I'll officially ask you that someday.

So a frontal-type assassin? That's something interesting.
We'll wait your wRHG to be made.

I wrote about half of my wRHG profile yesterday. It is fun, I have to say.

EDIT- Okay, I finished it. I don't know if it's good or not... :(
