Diamonds are a Thief/Dedectives best Friend

What is it about the robbing in this Game? Do you do it?

I started the Tutorial Case and found some Diamonds in the Diner in the Safe.

What about it?

Embrace the way of the detecthieves.

Think of it as a public service... you're helping the community learn important lessons about security.

If they didn't want that diamond stolen from that safe, they shouldn't be leaving post-it notes with the code on it lying around.

I used to not take anything. Then i started to take everything. Then i stopped to take anything cause there is no real point to have them anyway.

It took me a while to notice that pawn shops exist, so I only bothered to pocket syncdisk stuff. Money-hoarding isn't terribly useful anyway, but stealing is fun...

I having been taking just about everything this playthrough, when I get social 10 and start a new character I might only steal from murderers, or maybe not aat all, but definitely not people who haven't done anything to me.

I might very well do something like this as well.

As fun/easy as stealing is, it's... well, I guess too easy? It's interesting... I don't usually feel this guilty stealing in games.

There's also the fact that as the economy is in the game right now, there's not much point/need to it.

I mostly do it out of habit and obsession with hoarding wealth in games.

I stopped stealing money and diamonds. I only take Sync Discs and upgrades when I find them.

Otherwise the game gets too easy and too soon you have more money than you could ever need. I like a little grind.

I started a new game just today with this set of rules and even started with only 90cr in my pocket, no apartment. Found a diamond, ignored it. Ain't mine. At one point, the killer in my first murder case broke my leg which crippled my further investigation (duh) and so I limped to city hall and filed the case without the murder weapon or an arrest... I could not afford hand cuffs.

Now I can and my leg is fixed. On to new endeavors... like a cheap ass basement hole some call an "apartment".

I am so hungry.

Meh, I've got more money than I know what to do with just from the jobs I do. Like 42k at the moment. A murder case pays around 2k, a corporate theft job can easily hit 4k+.
