if you haven't patched, then they won't notice. the unpatched game is pretty much a free for all with PP and shoplifting.

if you HAVE patched, it's entirely different. they do remember, altho sometimes it takes a while before they get the idea. one morning, out of the blue, they could go aggro on you and call the guards, etc. etc.

there is a pattern when you PP and shoplift. reloading will not change anything like it would before. however, if you pay attention and don't push it past the first warning or two, you will be okay for awhile. you also have to take the time to plan out your steals, sorta make the rounds, leaving time between each visit. also use charm alot on them. just to keep them happy. the occassional gift goes a long way also.

most important, don't start PP or shoplifting until you have put adequate points into the skill. this is one skill you do NOT want to improve thru practice in the beginning, like everything else.

i wasn't happy about how it was going until i had gotten my skill up to 35, and even then, it was iffy.
