Hey all, thanks for all the help. My bard is now at about 25 pickpocketing, slowly building it up, and he's having some degree of success. I followed the idea that Vesselle gave me,, seeing how many times I can pickpocket someone without getting caught, then loading and pickpocketing the amount just before being caught. Then next time I gain a level (and subsequent pickpocketing skill) I try again. It seems the "number of times" I can pickpocket is predetermined every time the pickpocketing skill increases.. so I'll drop by Arnika and raid those poor folks every once in awhile. I've never succeeded in shoplifting though.. I wonder if thats hard to do than more standard pickpocketing.

Can someone clarify this for me though? Why is pickpocketing destroyed in the patch? By installing it am I going to miss out on rare and valuable items? I was hoping to pick up an Enchanted Wakazashi from Antone, but he doesn't carry it =/ I wonder if he'll carry it later though, or if I've lost my chance.. oh well...
