Assassination missions/dark brotherhood

What do you guys think about assassination/dark brotherhood missions? should they still be in the game? if so do you think they should be released by the amount of time you play?

I'm sure they will be in, I think I recall reading somewhere that they originated in Skyrim in the first place. And what do you mean by the amount of time you play? Like play x amount of hours to unlock a mission? If so, no, It should be linear, as in quest after quest or have a level requirement.

I see no reason why you can't have both an assassin faction and assassinations tailored to your character. In fact, I think the two systems work together. It's a bit like how in Oblivion, a lot of the Thieves' Guild quests were just "go out and steal whatever you want" rather than preset quests. In addition to scripted assassination missions, you join an assassin faction to have a support network, and the game will be able to use your superior to give you generated assassination missions.

They weren't joinable in Tribunal. You could join the Morag Tong in Morrowind, although they were "legal" assassins..

Yes I think that there will be the Dark Brotherhood in this game, any time their is civil war that seems to be happening at the start of this game their is bound to be lots of chances to kill people and with Radiant Story being what has been described no one is off limits (Quest character or not)

True, but private assassins are not tolerated by the dark brotherhood. They'll kill the guy who gave you the contract and then they try to kill you.

It would be nice if you have both the option to join the brotherhood or be a rogue assassin and be marked for termination, just not at the same time.
Every time warm blood gushes over your hands the nightmother knows everything about it, so it will hurt my inner geek if they suddenly aren't able to know about it anymore, or don't care you make money behind their backs.

If the Dark Brotherhood aren't in the game at all it will likely be because they don't exist anymore, so this isn't that much of a problem.

I hope the Dark Brotherhood is in Skyrim but hope there is more stealthy missions, like sneaking past guards and breaking into houses to kill your target in there sleep or make it look like an accident.
