Im having trouble wraping my head around how this works? Ive met my first vendor and have a char with good dex and slight of hand so I figured I should see what pickpocketing is like. I sneak up behind the vendor, successfully steal a sword and sneak off. The problem is whenever I return I am automatically in combat with the vendor and any NPC nearby.
So, how do they know Im the thief if I sucessfully pickpocketed and immediately left the area (and waiting a while before showing myself there again?
If this is how it works then what is even the point? If even sucessfull stealing and escape will result in guaranteed combat then why bother being a tricky thief rather than a pillaging murderhobo?
Is anyone else having better sucess? Am I just missing something?
