Pickpocketing | Strategy guide Risen 3 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Pickpocketing in the Risen 3 works quite similar to the previous game from the series, so it also stands out from the other computer RPG games. You can't steal for every NPC you will meet, instead you can steal only from the few characters that creators of the game have chosen. During the conversations you will find the dialogue option of pickpocketing including what chances of success do you have. You can see the example of how this dialogue option looks on the screen above.
If your character has a higher number of pickpocketing points, than the one specified by the game (in the example above, it is 30 points), the action will always be successful. If, however, your value is lower than the one required, in most cases this results in a situation, where you are attacked by the NPC. I recommend that you attempt pickpocketing only after you have developed this skill to an appropriate level, so you can always be sure of success.
Of course I recommend investing in your Dexterity from the beginning of the game since this attribute increases your Pickpocketing skill. Also you can find teachers who will be able to teach you the Master Thief ability, which increases how fast you can learn the Pickpocketing.
Remember! If you lack of only few points necessary to steal from someone successfully, check if you have in your equipment for example any ring, amulet or potion that can help you temporarily increase your Pickpocketing skill.
