I've been thinking of ways players with darker approach to the game will have to use in order to reach their goals, being climbing a wall to infiltrate a manor, getting through a guarded city gate without raising much attention even while having portraits of them shown to the guards, etc..

One idea [or actually two] for a more stealthy oriented skill was standing on a katana/sword handle/scabbard as a foothold to climb up a wall/building and pulling it with a rope. or using just the scabbard for something similar. and maybe using the scabbard/katana handle up on the wall and pulling yourself.

to my understanding something like that was actually used in the past.

there's also stuff like using an arrow with a rope and other stuff of that sort which probably been thought of and suggested before..

a question I have is the possibility of roaming the land and entering cities while being "wanted" or known as an assassin or even entering a guarded place with hidden weapons/poison etc..

maybe possibly using makeup to change your appearance a bit, forging documents and other such thing, maybe mainly stuff to fool npc guards and such. maybe like that playing as an assassin although dangerous and hard may be viable to those really interested, same with a darker oriented group/guild.

hope I posted this in the right place. :d
