I love keys.

I like Misdirections... I want to pickpocket an archer's quiver and just leave him with only the bow.

I also want to pickpocket someone's weapon and use it to kill their friend from behind... Oh, the hilarity when they see their friends sword sticking through their stomach. :evil:

I loved reverse pickpocketing poisoned apples onto NPCs in Oblivion, but if this works as it reads then it opens up so much more... Make your own special brews and slip em in for awesome effects not just a silent kill.

Same here! I'm really excited for those possibilities.

Misdirection and Perfect Touch are also interesting. Can't wait to pickpocket someones weapon then start a fight with them!

Voted for Poisoned because it will keep me occupied the most imo. But all of these are really good. Almost all of those could be my favorite.

the poison one seems AWESOME!
i'm not sure that logically it'd make sense, unless you put something that's similar to being radioactive in their pocket :S
guess it really depends what you put in their pocket on how lethal it would be.
putting a FISH in someone's pocket would be hilarious!

Aha! I knew there was a reason for the pick pocketing skill! I very much like this. I'd max out light fingers first and head for perfect touch! Maybe picking up keymaster and misdirections along the way.

I'd just have so much fun stripping an entire town to nothing with perfect touch! ahahaha

Sadly, I don't like any of them because I think Pickpocketing is a complete waste of a skill and these perks could easily have been a skill tree for Sneak. :shrug:

If you had skills, you would pickpocket his quiver and leave just the arrows!

EDIT: And if I had skills, I could use the correct word the first time around.

I was tempted to put extra pockets, but I went with poisoned. I did something similar in OB all the time

Do you mean only the arrows? :tongue:

If so, he could still poke me with the arrows!

This. Its a complete waste. All of this could have been in sneak, or just not needed at all. they cut to try to get the biggest skill bang for their buck and they decide to make pickpocketing its own skill...pickpocketing. How dumb is that? Bring back H2H. This skill is the definition of false depth.

I plan on taking everyones pants off

this makes me really excited, i normally dont play as the thief type, but this has me reconsidering

While I somewhat agree, this thread is about which perk you like the best, not whether you think Pickpocket is a worthwhile skill.

I like misdirections a lot. Sneak into a room, steal the sleeping guards weapons. Open a lock, get caught, guard doesn't have a weapon, you easily escape. Lots of possibilities.

You see, the real trouble with TES VI : Elsweyr, is that my ability to make a build based around pickpocket skill has been removed. Obvious dumbing down from Skyrim. :whistling:

Seriously though, I don't even play thieves, I'm just glad they have another skill of their own. Sneak is for rangers, hunters, assassins and thieves, pickpocket is a pure thieving skill, and so I don't see it as a waste of a skill at all. With speech and mercantile as stealth skills, it's almost like the stealth archetype was being short changed. Speechcraft for rogues, fair enough, but mercantile?

Personally, I don't really like any of them. I'm also surprised there are so many perks for this skill. :confused:

Very nice to see that now you is going to be posting about H2H in unrelated topics instead of posting about Spellmaking in unrelated topics. It adds to my "immersion" you now?

Strange, my first thought was that maybe this would end being the Skill with less Perks in the Game. :unsure2:

With all these new pickpocketing perks, we might be able to reverse pickpocket items weighted items. I see very fun possibilities

There are no pants anymore, only one piece outfits consisting of pauldrons, a cuirass/shirt, and greaves/pants.

actually, has that been confirmed for regular clothes?

» Tue Aug 30, 2011 7:22 am

I like Extra Pockets a lot, although it's probably going to be high on the pickpocket skill list so I probably won't select it unless I specialize in that skill tree.

» Tue Aug 30, 2011 4:53 pm

No, just speculation based in the Armors.

Poisoned or keymaster FTW!!! with the first I shall see my alchemic glory put to use and with the second no door shall bar my path that I can not pick nor solve its trick nor its key I shalt not find nor pilpher :angel:
