im wanting the dark brotherhood to be awesome and this is how id love to see part of it playout

your contracts are actual players playing at that time within a reasonable level gap so its the only PVP outside of the PVP designated area , kinda in the style of dark souls invaded element. you could stalk your victim and wait for the perfect time to strike, become friends and team up and then kill them etc... something to make you think why is this character following me and keep you on your toes. that's what id like to see just to keep the game fresh while running around the world.

The Gold Hand already has that covered my friend. We're a ps4 CF guild. Wanna join?

sounds pretty dumb

sure why not

I am just hoping it has something to do with actual pvp instead of just being a pve quest mechanic.

As an optional part of the DBh it sounds pretty wonderful. I might even participate, and I'll shake the hand of anyone fulfilling a contract on me, job well done. In the sanctuary is basically a billboard that anyone past the door can take contracts from.

As a requirement to progress? Emphatically not. If someone doesn't like PvP then it shouldn't be forced. Call them whatever names you like but they ought to be allowed to play as they will.

Everyone wins.

that's true play as u like but would be cool to have this element in the game in anyway or form

I agree. Last week someone started a thread about how the assassin guild pvp would go.

I had my own gameplay idea that had to do with the servers top 4 players being inducted as the 4 speakers of the Black Hand. Can't seem to find a way to scroll through my post history to link to it. (I also had an idea for how a pvp thieves guild could work out)

Anyways, I think since this is an MMO, it is a huge opportunity lost if the Dark Brotherhood is included solely as a pve experience and not a direct player verse player system. I also think the same for a pvp Thieves guild, and some of the other current guilds (not sure if I can mention names) to have mechanics that are PvEvP leaderboard based.
