ptbptb Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Simple concept. I find it silly that you get the same fine (25 gold) the first time you are caught, and the 100th time you are caught. If fines increased significantly each time you get caught it would be more realistic, players would take more care in pickpocketing, and pickpocket might not be the easiest skill to get to 100.

Jeffman12 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 If they went up by... say... 15 they'd still in the beginning be rather cheap and not too much later be actually worth avoiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allephus Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I agree. It'd also be nice if the game operated off of the crime record in your game statistics. Essentially, marking you as a suspect of you murder a lot of people. Even if you are from the Dark Brotherhood. Especially if you're doing Daedric quests. In essence, I'd like to see an actual consequence for being a heartless, cold murdering bastard. This gives me an idea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A percentage increase might work better. If you get fined an additional +30% each time you are caught pickpocketing then by the 20th time you are caught the fine would be over 4,700. It should probably be capped, though, as a fine of 900,000 for the 40th time you're caught is a bit much. ;-) And this is the idea that it gave me. A reputation system would be interesting, probably quite difficult to implement well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
