Alright prepare yourselves people because I have alot of problems here.
Firstly what is the deal with the sneak skill, i mean does it actully work because in my experiance it's nothing but trouble. I am trying to make a decent theif charecter so i can join the theifs guld as i have never actully tryed that guld much, but most of the quests are stealing items. HOW AM I SURPOSED TO STEAL IF THE BLOODY SNEAK SKILL DON'T WORK! My sneak skill is on level 90 an my security is on level 40, now i no the two skills an meant to work together to get a succesful bit of theivery, but i have tryed and tryed to do the quest were you have to steal the key to nerano manor for Habbasi. I got right up behind the bloke in nerano manor with my little sneak icons visible so i knew he couldn't see me. I clicked on him to pickpocket his key and all he had on him was 87 gold. OK i though i'll try again an see if it will appear next time, but why not take the 87 gold wile im here, so i took it and he turned round and cought me. So first of all the key wasn't there.....why the hell not? Second even if the key was there he would have cought me any way as he did with the money so how are you ever to steeal in this game with out gettin caught. Maybe if i make a 100% chameleon spell even if he turns round he won't be able to see me. will that work? but even if that does i need alot of magic to pull it off which is somthing theif charecters don't have.....so should i make a theif charecter into a half mage or a mage charecter into a half theif. So that way i have theif charecter with alot of magic and a high illusion skill to pull of chameleon spels and other useful spells to aid me in my theivery. To be honest i don't think this game adapts well to stealth it just donen't have the right elements, which brings me back to my point that the sneak skill is more trouble then it's worth. If any one has any advice for my problem then please reply so i don't end up puttin my fist through my xbox and then laughin at untill i go insane!
