You still steal things. You act like a thief. It's not the Sneak Guild, it's the Thieves guild. If I decide to act like a tool about it and just bumrush my way through a heist, I'll just look at it like the orc in Oblivion's DB. He was an assassin. Not a backstabby, stealth kind of an assassin, but nevertheless the kind that left people dead. Same thing goes here.
You are a thief. You steal.
and how does this change the fact that the jobs are repetativ like hell and that the loading literally takes longer then the job itself? i was giving an example why those jobs svck, and what kind of missions would be exactly like them.
saying "you do what a thief does", doesnt make the jobs better, or more entertaining.
if there would be mage quests, 20 of them : visit house a and cast a protection spell for our guild.
then you would do what a mage does: cast spells.
would it be fun to run into 20 different houses and klick 1 time, just because you do what a mage does? i don't think so.
is it fun to run into 20 houses and press one button because i'm doing what a thief does? i don't think so either.
if they had combined the jobs, like: pickpocket person a, steal his money and his ring , break into the house of b, and put the ring into his chest(which is locked).
then the jobs would take more time, make use of different thief skill AND you would do what i thief does.
if they did only 10 jobs, and combined the different goals it would be alot less senseless "grinding".
