Hi, I'm loving the game so far, except for a detail that seems to be a bit of a balance issue.
It appears that whenever you want to steal something without consequences, all you have to do is have one character talk to the NPC in the room, to make the NPC face away from the goods you want to steal. Then, while your first character is still in dialogue, you send your other character to steal the stuff, and the NPC will never notice. I don't have a rogue or any sort of sneaky character, and this still works.
This seems a bit too easy, specially given how valuable some of the stuff (specially paintings) is.
I am playing on normal, maybe playing on hard changes this?
Not really, because that is exactly how I do it in real life. Divert with my sexy wife holding a conversation and then stuff my pants with goods. Then just like this game, I can take it to Returns and get store credit without a receipt. TOO EASY!
I kid for myself, but this is very real in retail.
As for the game, yeah I don't think it ever hit a perfect balance.
LeBurns though is right, it then is how you roleplay.
