musiclover7 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Is there any reason not to steal, other than that I can get thrown in Prison? I mean.. If I find myself alone in a room upstairs in a palace, with no one around, can I take things without repercussion? I am just trying to get an idea of the drawbacks before I go rogue..

The biggest drawback is that you have limited sell options for stolen loot. It's very easy to steal yourself over encumbered all day long but going back and forth to the few fences gets very tedious very quickly. So I limit myself to stealing gold (I just have to look in every closet and cupboard and chest for every penny), gems, smithing material and high tier weapons and armor. And everything that looks unique of course. I love the little statues. :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarKirby3333 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 if you want to be a thief, start investing in speech skill asap. you really want to get to 90 speech and get free fences everywhere. get the skill to bribe guards and use that for levelling your speech, it gives you a skillpoint every few uses.

BrknSoul Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 If you can fence it.. steal everything that isn't nailed down. If an item is nailed down, steal the nails, then steal the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropxe Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 The best thing to steal is jewellery since it's so light and so valuable. As you get better at pickpocketing, you'll start to find more valuable things on people. It's pretty common for an NPC to have a necklace on them that weighs something like 0.3 and is worth about 1000 gold (though it won't sell for that much until your Speech gets naturally higher from you selling and buying things). Also, at maximum level you can pickpocket peoples' armour and weapons off them so they're naked and unarmed, and then kill them much more easily. I've stolen a ridiculous amount of stuff off people, though the stuff you find lying around is less often useful (it's only if it's books or armour that I tend to take it - but even then, I've got the best armour from quests and joining different guilds).
