The Guard is now scaling to Stupid Numbers And Stealing / Fines is still crocked badly

[[e-mail]]

50% above my total party including horses and prisoners, If those are excluded it was more like 100% advantage

All higher level than the heist level in my party

Supposedly I'm on NORMAL??

God help anyone on higher difficulties. This beyond stupid.

Only choice now is avoid at all costs and reload if caught.

With the changes to wanted and stealing - still not working right as it completely miss counts Items disposed of, Applies a 3 times real value to stuff from the black market agent AND "remembers" stuff after your part has gone past 100 and returned to below 50. Yes it goes to zero BUT when next wanted it adds in historical stuff. Stuff you don't have as "possessed value" and invents or creates a "disposed" value from somewhere

The guards are just stupidly OP. Their passives are the most annoying in the game with that free AoO they get upon Engaging, in addition to them outnumbering my group by 2-3x. I was going to make this second run of mine a constant criminal run, but it just isn't worth the time and effort involved.

Pretty sure it works fine; it's just not very intuitive.

The fee for a stolen item is 150% of the item's base purchase cost (at least for skill books, but probably for everything). The Black Market Agent just happens to sell wares at a 50% discount, but that isn't (and likely isn't meant to be) included in the stolen fee.

I've never had my criminal fees remember stolen items after becoming wanted by raising my suspicion to 100+ and then lowering my suspicion back under 50. The next time I'm wanted it's always crimes I committed between this and the last time. Keep in mind that, although it doesn't list the fees if the crime doesn't bring you up above 100 suspicion, any crimes you commit do still incur fees which will be added to your total the next time you are wanted.
