I always laugh when I see assassins in Skyrim. Seriously, if I were an assassin like that I'd just assassinate myself. I mean if I'm to stealthily take someone out, must I really do the anime/Yu-Gi-Oh charge with my arms behind me?

You'd think that in the land if the Nords (yes, this is Facism) the assassins would be like in fur armor but well camouflaged.

Not really assassins to begin with, more like overt Hitmen. They need some kind of backstabb bonus that is comprehensible. I have yet to be killed by one, unlike those hired thugs.
