I prefer Jim Stacey because I am fond of that artfull dodger look and besides the gray fox seem like a random opponent you kill in dungeons.

Jimmy was my preferred.

Gray Fox.

(double post.)

Stacey felt more real...

Grey Fox.

it's a close vote. i just tipped the scale over to Jim

I voted for Jim. Just as Kalarn said, he felt a bit more real. Although I liked the guild more overall in Morrowind.

the Grey Fox.

Gentleman Jim Stacey, of course. He's the true "Gray Fox" - he can be both good and bad, and he's definitely more cunning than Mr Umbranox. Stacey's way of dealing with enemies is cruel and cold-hearted, but his way of helping the little people is noble and unique.
Umbranox... in the end, all the quests he gave you and the other thieves were just so that he could go back to his old life, abandoning his thieving ways. That doesn't sound very preferable for a Thieves Guild leader!

Also, you could boil down his character to his catchphrase "Capital!". He was little else... utterly boring.

Jim Stacey all the way. :hugs:

It's GENTLEMAN Jim Stacey :toughninja:

Gentleman Jim Stacey all the way that guy was everything a thieve should have been, he was charismatic, witty and damn right clever.
The grey fox always seemed too dry if that makes sense very short in what he said, i always remember when ever i had spoke too him walking away thinking what a complete D**k.

The gentleman of course.

Jimmy-boy
the gray fox felt boring, and what kind of exclamation is "Capital!" anyway...

Gentleman Jim Stacey!

When the Grey Fox asked me to steal a certain scroll I was so disgusted at his request I killed him. Sort of like the guy who asked me to collect slaughterfish scales. Some things I'm just not going to do just because an npc asks me to.

Let me expand Gray Fox felt to generic for me bland and uninspired.
