Criminality system for stealing is bad

[CountCapacollo]

No witnesses. No one spotted you.

Yet enjoy your bounty because the game magically knows you took something.

Seriously, did they put any effort into this?

It doesn't magically know. But if you're wearing it or they saw you going where the item was and soon checked the place and the items were missing they will suspect you.

There's literally no witnesses. It's 1am at night. everyone is asleep. There's not even guard patrols.

I wish you knew what you were talking about before you posted.

its working in difrend way >> no one spotted you, but short before crime someone see your horse around, or your face entering to this zone were 3 minute later crime is done.

nah, it sometimes bugs earendel, I took a bow that was not even labled stealing, and I got into trouble, for stealing an item from a town 20 minute walk away.

I know what I'm talking about, it's how the system is supposed to work and I dont relate to your problem because it never happened for me. Get an attitude check.

i disagree; i think the system is decent and some what innovative; with its share of jank.

if an NPC sees you around their house or whatever and then you steal something then they might suspect you of stealing it when they notice it missing; also read somewhere if they see your horse left there then they can associate the theft with you if they see the horse. if you have been branded they seem to come to you right away just because your branded and your a known thief.


i haven't had to many bad experiences with it minus a bug where i had the orange bunny for a few hours.

overall its okay, it has jank, but i think its pretty on par with other games that have similar wanted levels, this one may be a bit more fun to play around with once you learn its quarks

The game has bugs sure, but bugs are not systems like OP believes

[Kel'Thuzad]

Yeah it's kinda dumb. You execute a stealth mission flawlessly, and the next morning you're magically wanted anyway.

Going by the perks procing, apparently I'm damn near constantly committing crimes while riding by myself through the countryside.

Either you don’t know what you are talking about or your game was bugged. I have stolen a lot and the only time I’ve got or been wanted was when someone from the area I stole spotted me with it equipped. Or if you try to sell it to the person you stole it from. You also could’ve just been spotted while stealing

Yeah, there's definitely something funky going on.

I ran to Troskowitz, no dog, no horse, in the dark, wearing all black, from Semine avoiding the roads, saw no one, no one saw me. Stole a key, got into the Rathaus, stole the ledger thing, got out without incident. Ran back to Semine, went to sleep. got a notification when Henry woke up stating that he's a wanted man.

[David Fifield]

Yeah it’s pretty horrible

Exact same experience I had with that quest.

It’s absolutely terrible. Skyrim had this figured out 15 years ago and these plebs couldn’t get it all these years later. For looking so realistic it’s one of the most unrealistic RPG’s I’ve played.

Wrong. It does magically know dude. I stole food. Left. No witnesses. Nothing. Came back to the town and boom, killed for stealing. This game is a joke and I want my money back.
