    Bullshit.  That's the basis of the build, and what makes her "Special."  If you want me to, I can crank out a cookie cutter Assassin, but it'll be gone in a day.

    I agree with you however maybe a name change. "Bandit/Assassin" just looks weird.

    I had another thread called "Dreadfall" that got "Featured" and deleted for being Dreadful.  I didn't want people to think this was the same old thread, and I honestly couldn't think of a better title.  I'm open to suggestions, though.

    I think if it's improved (which it is) then it'd be fine to use the same name. But I'll try to think of some; an overconfident, possibly mentally unstable assassin is very interesting (hell, it's my favorite comic book character!), but it doesn't leave much room for a good build name.

    To me a Bandit acting as an Assassin seems to be a well known man where no one knows his/her actual personality; they just see him as another bandit or another person. Like a "Hitman"

    Agreed, whole heartedly.  (She's got a lot of Deadpool in her.  And doesn't want to talk about it.)

    She's like the exact opposite of that.  She thinks of herself as an Assassin posing as a Bandit, while I think of her as a Bandit with Delusions of Grandeur.  She's actually pretty badass, in the sense of defeating Draugr Death Overlords in Clothes, and actually pulling off Sneak with a sword that sounds like somebody dropping a brass kettle down the stairs whenever she swings it.

    That's the vast majority of the inside joke for me, it's an Anti-dagger, she's the opposite of subtle, and all that wrought.  How she sees herself (She lives in my head, with several other characters of mine even with the game turned off.) and the reality of the game mechanics, it's really hard to explain to someone else in English the weird bastard child of Gestalt, and Shaden/Freud (She's a Shadenfrau) I have emotionally invested in her.

    TBPH, if you digitized me, and dropped me off the cart in Helgen, Dreadfall is pretty much what you'd end up with.

    The B&W Image (You know the one?)  Is it too much?

    The one where it's like a girl in the hat with her fist out? I think that's actually kind of badass. It could be a tiny bit smaller though

    Edit: actually looking at it, a lot smaller
