thief tag
myguy:
ahh yes for the benefit of the less informed, that would be the normal procedures, i meant for the theif hunters...now you cant pick them off the "shelfs" unless it happened to you or to someone close by...
it was always something nice to look forward to whenever we drop back to town, to hunt a few thieves for stress relief....
or put a tag for those who only failed an "X" number of times....and gets reset when they get pked.
Grampy:
One of the problems is some people will shout out that someone is a thief (and they aren't) then when you attack that person, the guards attack you. There are the "PRENTEND THIEVES" who try to make you think they are stealing from you trying to get you killed by the guards. Additionally theives piss me off the most while I am bartering already have the item on the bartering table just about to hit the offer button, and then they steal my shit. The NPC I'm bartering with doesn't do shit about it, even though that person has effectively stolen from him. I think that theives shouldn't be able to steal shit while bartering or while a person is looking at thier inventory, because you are directly looking at the items that a person is stealing.
And if someone steals from you, then your just screwed because the moment you kill him the guards take all thier shit. Maybe someone can answer me this, If I steal from someone when they're unconscious to I get a thief tag on me? Usually they die to quickly for me to find out.
A simple fix would to have the guards SHOUT that someone is a Thief in a Unique Color.
myguy:
yeah the other thing is that they shouldnt be able to steal whatever is ON the bartering table only the ones in your inventory. that would be "appropriate".
As it is guards dont shoot at them anymore and its OUR onus to shoot them....
the "x" number of times and not being able to steal the bartering table items are good middle grounds for both parties, as you can still cry wolf for kicks or really steal from the inventory( for those real thiefs) while the common folks still have to watch out for those not tagged yet or for their items not on the bartering table...
warnings from the guards should apply only when a steal attempt succeeded as there would already be a separate "x" count started for failed attempts for tagging.
Chomiq:
Is the issue with cyrillic characters still present when it comes to notification about thief? I remember it wasn't properly displayed earlier.

Nope, you can steal safely from unconscious characters.
