This seems familiar ... 

Can Neal do roleplay? Yep. 

 

[Peypeypeypey]

To be fair, Robin Hood is also very good at this too.

Thing is, Caffrey does the roleplay without all the elaborate costume changes, etc.

Damn, good examples from both sides. I just can’t decide which is better.

This is a meaningless argument. Robin does need the disguises to change persona, he needs them because he's conning the same person out of money every time and the person recognizes his face.

It's not really meaningless. If anything, this shows that Neal is used to conning a wider variety of people with roleplay.

Sure, but it's not like that clip was an especially intricate persona or something Robin Hood couldn't reasonably do. Again, pointing out that Neal doesn't need disguises is comparing apples to oranges because Robin Hood wouldn't "need" disguises if he wasn't robbing the same person every time

Thing is, the clips show that Neal has played various roles to con a variety of people. Meanwhile, this is not to say that Robin Hood isn't capable of conning a broader audience, but he has mainly aimed to con Sheriff Notingham and his men, and in a time and a story where people were generally more gullible. 

It might be good if there were examples of Robin Hood roleplaying against someone other than those in Nottingham's camp.

Better yet, let's see if Mags can produce them.
