Can I sneak up behind someone and kill them quick and quiet like and hide their body?
How does it work ,what perks can i have for it?How will NPCs react to missing people or witness the killing?
Can I sneak into a castle and steel valuables,how does detection and sneaking work?
What are your thoughts.

Hopefully best elements from Hitman/splintercell/theif1-3 would be considered for this.

I think Warhorse is busy yet with the warrior combat system. Although it would be good to they show us a little of mechanics for the thief/assassin but I suppose we have to wait to see it. How long? It depends on how advanced they have these playable mechanical
Hopefully less AC style, more (yes thief splintercell etc.) Iâd love to see distractions too

Alert. Too high expectations spotted.
Would be good, thatâs for sure, but âŠyou know. Everyone is projecting his dreams into this game and fact is major part of thing will not be there.

I canât imagine a basic stealth system would be too hard to put in place, stealthy rogue characters are popular to play. The biggest pitfalls to avoid would be;
Psychic guards, where no crime goes unnoticed
Every NPC having instant radio communication to the guards, where getting spotted instantly flags you as a criminal instead of giving you a chance to flee, hide, or kill the witness
or everyone being to stupid or blind to see your crimes in the first place
It would be fun to stealthily remove someone from the world to see how it would impact the village. If he doesnât show up a church maybe someone would check on him, or his neighbor might not see him farming or selling his goods or something and try to see what was up.

OMG this.
This is exactly what stealth games should NEVER have.
Love stealth-based play. The pitch for this game indicated that you could play different styles, e.g. fighter vs. thief, so I imagine there will be a stealth element.
Actually in last video about living world there is described that every NPC has its hobbies. That lso might mean that NPCs will have friends so when one NPC wont see its friend where he usualy is that NPC migh get alerted,

I hope in a sort of body detect system and the possibility to hide body⊠would also cool if I can knock-off people insteat of just killing them
I would realy love a disguise system, if I cover my face and commit I crime (maby night time) why people shuold recognize me?
Poison food would be awesome but maybe to hard to implement in an open world rgp? letâs hope xD
And what about hire assassins? <.<

Reminds me of the old classic âDefender of the crownâ. Anyone remembers? (C64, Amiga, AtariST ?)
Was only able to win the game by sneaking into castles at night and get armies for the gold found.
Actually according to the Live stream the stealth will be much more like AC than thief in that the blending with others and not having a crouch = stealthy mechanic. I like it, itâs more realistic. Hiding in plain sight with a crowd of people is definitely âeasierâ to do than sneaking up behind someone in the middle of a square while crouchedâŠ
