Stealing from towns?

I was just wondering if I will get in trouble for stealing that really awesome statue I find in an NPC's house, or the axes mounted on the wall... etc. Will the NPC get mad? Will there be guards chasing me down?

 

Not at the moment, although later they will.

 

Okay, thanks for the reply!

 

Yeah I swore I heard that the devs were talking about stealing.
I don't know if you can sneak by and pick it up unnoticed though. (Stealth system?)

 

Ah good. After playing skyrim so much, I kind of just take things. I don't even look at what I'm taking anymore.. I have a problem

 

Why not steal the helmet? That was a quick 35 gold the he could of sold on the black market.

 

That's a helmet? I thought that was just what they looked like

 

My god your right. You have to force them to take their "helmets" off. Are we ripping of their face?

 

I hope that if you can be penalized for stealing that if you're in hiding, you can take the item without being chased out of town, but it will be hot and cannot be sold for an extended period of time.

 

Exactly I very much hope for some type of stealth system.

 

I'd like to see thievery as some kind of complex theft system. So if you're in an empty room, no one around, you can take something. If your undetected, you can take something. Etc. Etc.

Edit: Stealth. I meant stealth system. But... you know theft stealth, it's the same really rn't it?
