And always remember: There is no problem in this game assassination cannot fix.
There is. Like being low on plot power.
> Not installing a mod to re-enable assassinations

Not that I use it much, I just think it ought to be an option...
The correct line is:
There is no problem in this game that killing everyone cannot solve. Assassinations are stupid unless you go out of your way to install a mod.
Speaking of which, I wish there was a "fear" rating in the game. Vassals should really be allowed to be cowed into their place, especially cowards. When it becomes obvious that you're murdering people who disagree with you, people should have a Fear: +50 relationship or something.
There would need to be a separate meter for it, and it would need to be on a spectrum (like the relationship meter) but that it's only effective between certain ranges, below or above which people either don't take you seriously or think you need to be taken out because you're such an evil bastard.
