..........morrowind, thats all i have to say. Morrowind had a bomb ass way of thieving and thus far thieving in this game is basically searching through containers inside open houses and stuff that is just laying around. In morrowind to lockpick stuff, sneaking around was actually effective, aswell there was alot of spells that helped with the stealing process. Aswell you could pickpocket.

We want Morrowind 4: The Oldest Scrolls!!!!

well, theres more to stealing I think but i havent figured it out. guile wouldnt be an attribute if you couldnt use it.

You can pick locks of houses at night in Fable.

You can't pick pockets but you can own a store... after some questionable acquisition tactics..

Well at least you can steal, though it would have been a good addition to be able to pick pockets just like in Morrowind.

If you become strong enough you can break down doors to get into houses. Though, guards tend to fine you for it
