Valheru_Slo Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 First of all, greetings to all @Nexus forums, my first (noob) post here. Before I ask, I'd just like to say (in my defence) that I'm a first time TES IV player (picked my copy a few days ago, at a real good price for a used game, on a side note) so there a lot of things I've yet to learn about this game. Ok, now to get to my dilemma - so far I figured it out that items you pick up that have a red hand over them will be taken away from you if you get caught picking them up. What I want to know if you got such an item without anyone seeing you, can you than freely use it and/or sell it without any consequences (i.e. getting jailed). Thx in advance for the help. PSThis FRP is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiDelacot Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Everybody...guards and merchants seem to know if anything is stolen...seen or not. Best thing is to stash them some where until you join The Thief's Guild and sell them through your fence.There is also a mod "Thievery in the Imperial City" that gives you a fence without joining the guild, and he also gives you some tips on stuff to steal. Oh, and welcome to Nexus. Hope you enjoy it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endgamecutter Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 one last tip for painfully easy thieving: inns are GREAT targets for making a couple hundred gold from your fence. Tiber septim hotel in Imperial city especially, go to the upper floor, since its regarded as a separate cell, nobody is going to see or hear you, unless someone's up there for some reason, but thats never happened to me before. anyway, once you're up there, take EVERYTHING YOU CAN CARRY thats right, EVERYTHING! nobody will catch on, but it ur caught for another crime, then those items will be taken from you. guards are clairvoyent like that (spelling error ftw). if you do this to a different inn though, make sure the upper floor has both nobody in it A, and that the door to it says something like "door to tiber septim hotel upper floor". otherwise, you're still in the same cell and you'll be caught.

LoginToDownload Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 If you're not seen, all that the red hand means is that you lose it if you're arrested and can't sell it to honest merchants. If it's a piece of equipment you can reset its ownership by enchanting it, though. Or, if you feel like cheating, you could drop it on the ground, open the console (~ key), click on it, and type "SetOwnership". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiDelacot Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 One more thing that might help: mod "No Psychic Guards" you can set the level to Medium. It just lessens the distance guards "know" you're doing bad things. Makes it a bit easier. But if you're seen by people, it doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanAlderon Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 You can still use stolen weapons to attack people with but always carry a back up weapon in case your caught. Also you can steal money without a red hand appearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
