Make guards in guarded towns stop looting
« on: June 04, 2012, 05:27:49 pm »

Please make NPCs stop looting dead players.
Every time someone dies there is no way for them to get their stuff back because some greedy guard looted their corpse 0,0003 after they died.

So much valueable stuff is lost because of this and since NCR is flooded with guards there is no way to loot the body before the NPCs.
I lost a car key this way and many other people lost valuable stuff too.
Please remove this feature or at least give us the option to talk to guards so they would give us our stuff back.

If there was no looting there would be much more PKing, you would be still losing items, the only
difference is that it would happen more often and the item would end in hand of PKs not NPCs.

Giving back items to owner is a good idea IMO.

Least there would be chance that someone could give me back my stuff rather then just losing more and more.
Though the chance is roughly at 8%?

I think the real question here is why you would bring anything that is worth more than 2 caps to NCR.

Because if someone wants to go hunting or to do a quest or if I have to travel to someplace I need a gun and a descent armor.

this would only work if guards start to shoot without any delay

In encounters and out in the wastes it makes sense because those areas are lawless; but in NCR I'm sure if any citizen got their head blown off by random criminals, the guards would be obligated to deliver their property to a next of kin.

Another point is that when PKed by other players, there isn't the 100% certainty of losing one's equipment. The PKer could get wacked by somebody else, have carry weight issues, simply not want the items, etc. In unguarded towns I see retrievable stacks of equipment sitting around all the time, yet only in guarded towns do you have the dynamic of a third party suiciding against the victim just to get the equipment sucked into an untouchable place.

Guards should return the loot to it's owner. It follows the principles of civilized places with working property laws.

Well they can just attack thieves by themselves. It's wastelands after all, not modern tolerant justice.
