A Theif's Paradise

Okay, my request has technically already been done with Shenk's thievery Overhaul, but I'm asking for slightly more than that. That mod aims to add vaults under each of the cities, but that's not going far enough IMO.


A couple of my favorite missions in the game are the Thieves' Guild quests "Loud and Clear," When you go into Goldenglow estate and steal things, sneaking by mercenaries, and "scoundrels folly," when you go into the Warehouse following gulum-ei. The levels reminded me of the thief games, but Skyrim doesn't really make the most of it. There are very few valuables to steal in there, and the guards are incredibly easy to sneak past or kill.

It seems a lot bigger on the inside.


My request is for a few large, well-guarded complexes (warehouses, large estates, military compounds, castles, etc.) to truly put our thieving skills to the test. Lots of valuables to take, lots of rooms to explore, lots of locks and pockets to pick, and plenty of guards to sneak past. The dwemer museum is something like that, but if Calcelmo allowed you in, you can basically take anything you want and the guards won't even care (because you're sneaking). As it stands, sneaking and thieving are fun, but really they lack any sort of challenge to back up the relatively massive rewards.

Now there's a place I want to rob!

 

A good example of a place like this is Blackbriar lodge; good-sized house, and lots of guards, but there's very few things to steal in there for the amount of people you have to sneak past and/or kill.

It's okay, I guess.

 

I'm asking for the sort of challenge that lets me sneak past people and take things from right under there nose, and causes them to fire their security for being so incompetent. The kind of thing that requires me to use every ounce of my skill to get it done, and gives me the satisfaction of knowing I ruined somebody's career, and spread more wealth around to the needy (i.e., myself). If anyone were to do this, you're a wonderful person.


Thank you all, you're all wonderful people.

And I spelled Thief incorrectly in the title. Wonderful.
