Talk:Hoods

And "bandits"

IF I am not mistaken, the Bandit of IX (strangely enough) uses the same illustration in Journal as the Hood in the manual of Ultima I. --Arthgon (talk) 16:17, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Hrm, I begin to see the confusion as U9 has both Bandits and Thieves. Simplest solution might be to just roll Hoods into Thieves as well. But let me ponder it for a bit... -- Fenyx4 19:45, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Yeah. They actually re-hashed (spelling?) for an unknown reason, (laziness?) several illustrations of the more older Ultimas. I have been thinking, and this is just an idea, but what about making a separate article about the Bandits? To stop the confusion, if you know what I mean. Oh. Are there any plans to make an article about the Short Sword? --Arthgon (talk) 08:50, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Thus, further edits seem to have implied that hoods and bandits are the same thing (for instance Ultima IX monster data has the bandit linked, which is a redirect to this article) and this article linked to the redirect that is bandit until just a few minutes ago. Then, there are "bandits" that appeared in UU1, which means all three monsters/NPC-types are implicated in this article. If anyone were to disagree, he'd probably be right, so maybe more articles need to be written.

IMO, the link between the U1 hood and the U9 bandit is tenuous, so there should be a "bandit" article. Also, the bandits in UU1 are more like NPCs, in which case there would be the article "Bandit (UU1)", with disambiguation, of course.--The Ultra-Mind (talk) 17:05, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
