Is it safe to loot all forbidden items?

[sweetkidsweet16]

Doing the duress companion quest and reached the farmlands the last one at the top of the map.
Just finished talking to the guard outside the hut and I went inside and there's lots of loot with red writing that says forbidden. Should I risk and loot everything?

Go ahead boy. As long as nobody sees you, you are fine. Just save before you do it. Rince and repeat! Enjoy ;)

Cool Thx : )

Forbidden just means don't get caught for me.

[Just Chill]

Same.
I've literally left nothing in the homes of the zerkers. ^^

People often say you play a bald ugly-looking ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, so why should I care? XD

You'll get a lot of good items like that, recipes that you'd otherwise have to pay for, and a nice bit of extra cash.

So if you don't care about cheesing your way through the game by saving and, if you mess up, loading, stealing everything is a good way to progress quicker, and the only thing to really look out for is not to accidentally quicksave without noticing that you've been seen. ;)

If you want to play without savescumming, you've got to be REALLY careful not to be caught while stealing.

And as is tradition with PB-Games, some people do "no stealing"-runs to make the game a bit harder and avoid the immersion-breaking awkwardness of being able to basically steal things when people _should_ be able to see you, but are mechanically not able to.
