Honestly, guys.

You get a third-person view of the backside of the character from anywhere between about ten to about fifty feet away. Do the fine details really matter all that bloody much?

That said...I agree wholeheartedly with the bad hair people. There is no reason one should need to select a hairstyle that makes one want to puke, simply because the thought of selecting any other hairstyle does make one puke.

And ditch the cheap Naruto knock-offs! XP

The only thing I didnt like is how Assassins run like they have a hunchback, if its supposed to look stealthy they failed. Hope it gets reworked.

And yes the hair does not make good viewing.
yes and no, smaller kukri can be weild two handed...with enough skill they can be more efficient...but thats only the smaller ones....which are the ones the assassin uses in the game. but yes...weilding a standerd sized kukri in each hand....ur bodys gonna forget to counter balence and u'll screw up lol.

but ur statement about kukris being impractical after 15 inches....i strongly disagree on. sure if ur a skinny basterd...then maybe...but if ur built like a brick shithouse then using a 15inch kukri is gonna be a disadvantage....coz ur gonna overthrow every swing....where as if i use my 21" kukri then my swings are alot more acurate compared to a smaller kukri.

you also have to remember that the kukri isnt mainly for cutting throats....it has an extreme blade curviture (that acts against the bodys natural curviture) and highly weighted blade....which means its main use in combat is to cleave and render.

...ill shut up now...

The "Stick Ninja" is such an accurate description - in a recent scrrenshot of combat on the Jade Sea the assassin looks like she's trying to disappear by turning sideways.

Seriously, this assassin thing is disturbing. Kate Moss is bigger than she is.
