    [​IMG] Here is advice from Chris Avellone, Designer at BIS
    Link to the rest of the tips here
    I'm sure many players agree with his tip of making sure to save first. This is what makes me :mad: , how can you justify reloading based on failing a measly pick pocket attempt? It's truly a sorry reminder of how deeply entrenched and accepted the reload mentality is in PC games. :sick:

    Have to add this: If you're afraid of failing a pick pocket attempt, then don't do it! If one of your characters dies irrevocably, that's a good reason to reload. Failed Pick Pocket? I don't think so. You brought it on yourself by unnecessarily tempting fate. :cool:

    That's partly why I drink Potions of Master Thievery first. Serves as a security blanket when I (rarely) attempt to pickpocket.

    Off topic comment: where else would you post something like this that encompasses several games?

    When I fail, the solution is simple, kill the guy your pick pocketing! It's a brilliant tactic
