Also Tangent idea, I'd like to see generic guard captains who at night patrol the streets of their village or their district with torches and two or three other guards, and if someone wakes up during your theft spree but doesn't notice you, perhaps they could notice something missing and report it to the captain.
Then the patrol would be suspicious of anyone sneaking or that seems suspicious and could try to pin you and you have to pass speech checks or run for your life, before they fully identify you.
What do you guys think? Oh and captains should have two handed and crossbows and be worth 3-4 guards.

also i think some good new dialogue could be introduced to the guards, we need to be able to interact with npcs more, make the meeting of them more memorable
