I have been looking through interviews and press and what not and still haven't found an answer to this question. I am pretty skeptical of Elder Scrolls as an MMO and I am afraid I won't be able to break into peoples houses and steal all their shoes and cheese wedges. Really if I can't do that it's not even an Elder Scrolls game it is just another one for the MMO fail pile.

I very much doubt it.

Besides, how would it even work? All the players wanting to steal are just going to camp outside houses till the respawn and then go in and clear it out. Unless you sit at the computer constantly, you'll be hard pressed to find a place that hasn't already been ransacked.

Plus, you'd have mobs of thieves rampaging through houses trying to grab the expensive stuff before anyone else.


If thievery is present, it would probably be restricted to instances and limited locations.

edit: Also lots of loose (And stealable) items tends to increase the amount of data being handled. Thats fine for a single player game, but an MMO can't afford to get chugged down with tracking cutlery and pieces of meat on tables.

who are you do claim this not to be an elder scrolls ? i bet you haven't played more than two games in the serie anyway , this is not a main serie game, it's a different type of RPG set in the same universe

Who are you to say otherwise?

Look up what the word hyperbole means.

As opposed to player's camping monster spawn locations? How is that different? Clearly if they felt it was important they could implement theivery in one form or another. I could sit here all day and make conjextures about how such a system would be implemented, But what I really want to know if they said they are going to include stealing one way or another yet.
