Stolen Items

[Jegedillo]

How the ♥♥♥♥ does a guard 10 miles away from where I stole something know that anything I have on me is stolen?

Random guy walks up into your town and you can just tell by looking that the shirt he's wearing is stolen? WTF.

Can do anything in this game my ass. Can't even live a dishonest life without people knowing you did something that there were no witnesses to.

They are scanning people for stolen goods. They do it even if you have nothing. The idea is that people have reported these items missing and that guards share info. It is mostly for balance reasons that they have it this way though. It would be too easy to instantly be rich otherwise, because coding an entire medieval judicial system to induce long term psychological fear of the law and repercussions on players, including the threat of real life death, is too much to simulate in a video game. You can just put your entire life at risk, so you'll steal anything as a player of a video game, you'll take insane risks. IRL this wouldn't happen, which balances things out. For a game? It has to work this way to not break the game. IRL, some day, some how, someone might find out you're a thief, but here? You put the game down after a couple hundred hours(completionist).

How does anyone report something missing when they're dead on the side of the road with no witnesses 10 miles away from where I'm being searched?

It seems like a bug with the new "suspicion" system. Let's hope devs fix it sooner than later.

Best bet is just to send it to your horse for a day or two and sell after. Items lose the stolen tag after time. Higher value = longer wait.

Remember when your horse would snitch on you in Skyrim
