Am i the only one who constantly missclicks at shops and accidently steals something instead of clicking on the shop keeper (playing with pad)?? This is soooo annoying...is there a way to activate something like a double click for stealing? If not it would be really nice if you always had to confirm before you steal something?!

✭✭✭✭✭This is pretty standard in elder scroll games like oblivion and skyrim
Note that its not illegal to look in containers just stealing from them so having auto loot stolen goods is nice to have off.
If you steal for the money you don't want to pick up lockpicks, water and style stones anyway.
I once clicked on the desk in the rawl-kha bank and found an blue funiture blueprint
Since I was about to log off I stole it

It's a tad frustrating. Sometimes you have to actively chose to steal something and other times, mainly with things left out in the open, there is no choice and so if you're not paying attention......
And yes, the writ drop off at Belkarth is horrendous, especially provisioning.0 -
lunawisp✭✭✭It's very easy to do. Encourages you to be careful, I guess.
It's funny really, I accidentally stole something in the Daggerfall bank when that annoying woman stepped out of the way just as I pressed the interaction button. Luckily the guard was behind a pillar and didn't notice. I promptly used a scroll to wipe out the bounty then she spoke to me as if nothing had happened.lunawisp was my Peacebringer in City of Heroes - a game sadly consigned to history.

Master Thief also, which basically turns off Auto loot of stolen items if you happen to be standing up.
Very helpful when turning in Writs, since all the stuff around the crates is lootable.
Poor consoles. No choice but to be very careful, especially if you have stolen valuables on you already.

✭✭✭✭✭I figured out a way to pretty much eliminate it.
Look up to the heads of a merchant before trying to activate them. Almost every shop in the game does not have clickables near the NPC's Heads.
From what I remember, a couple of Guild Kiosks in Sentinel have stuff that hangs near the NPC's heads. Good news the Refuge is 20 to 30 Meters away. Anyone can escape the guards and pay off the bounty if needed.
But it would be nice if things on the desk of an NPC Vendor would be statics or marked unowned.Edited by Nestor on April 23, 2017 5:58PMEnjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

I think he is referring to the items not in a container. Like the weapons or various items hanging/ laying around the npc. I have done this a few times, mostly if there is lag or am in a hurry.0 -

One of my very "upstanding" characters (she is nice, but a little too socially aware) accidentally stole something in StormHaven, and hid under a bridge for hours rather than face the shame of it.Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.

Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.

I was recently in a zone just killing stuff left and right in Stormhaven. I had a quest marker that was in a house. I went in the house and up the stairs, saw something move in the dark and pretty much instantly killed the two lurking daedra.
Except they weren't deadra. They were an old grey haired couple hiding in their attic from the daedra.
When things like that happen I think ESO should give you a temporary title like "Killer of Old People" or something. I certainly wasn't feeling very heroic.0 -

They probably aren't talking about looting containers. They are likely talking about clicking on food, drink, potions, or 5 gold on table tops. That is automatically looted no matter the gameplay settings (unless you use an addon).0 -

✭✭✭✭✭On the first floor/level of Elden Root, Grahtwood there's a grocer to the side by the provisioning station. And this grocer is a troll. For whatever the reason, they have fish hanging up right in front of them. More than half the time of attempting to interact with them, I've accidentally stolen that freaking fish. Seriously. I kid you not. I've had more bounties from that damn hanging fish, than anything else in the game that gives you bounties. Edited by Ch4mpTW on April 24, 2017 2:25AM0 -

Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0
