Observations and questions about the new DLC and patch

I don't know about anyone else, but I love the changes to alchemy writs. I had to turn in a poison today when I did my writs and I actually had to think about it! No nirnroot was involved and it was rather refreshing.

Also, I went to a few guild stores to see if anyone had put any of the new motif pages up for sale. They are priced at $150K and above!!!

Now to some of my questions..... I watched a guy do a live stream of one of the new dungeons, but I don't know which it was. That's all the experience I got from the new content so far. I like to wait a few weeks before I enter a new zone because of over population. I understand that to get the new motifs, thieving is required. From what I have been reading, you have to pickpocket your victim 3 times before you can get a page or partial page of a motif. Are you required to kill them on the last try? I'll admit to being an occasional sneaky thief, but I haven't done any dark brotherhood yet.

Another question...the description of the content that came with the DLC mentioned new dyes. I only saw one bright red color related to the dungeons. Are there more than that? Did I just miss them?

That's all I can think of since it's about 3:30 in the morning where I am. Past my bedtime!

    That is my experience as well, but may I ask where you read this? The patch notes certainly don't mention it.
    From what I can tell, you don't have to kill the NPC - the loot is the same whether you kill them or pickpocket. It's just easier to kill them than to gamble on a low 3rd pickpocket chance, and they respawn faster than their pockets refill while they are alive.

    I thought you only got the 'good stuff' after pickpocketing multiple times. I actually thought I read that in the patch notes, but hey, I'm 50, so I could be wrong. ;)

    I've heard the same thing about the skooma bubbler and people in the forums (I think) were comparing that to getting pages of the new motifs.

    To be honest with you, I've never done any Dark Brotherhood stuff, so I can't Blade of Woe anyone. I'm playing a Night Blade right now, so I'm hoping to change that soon. Also, last night was the very first time I have ever pickpocketed anyone in game. I was SO excited!!!

    Makes sense killing who you are stealing from I guess if the NPC spawns faster than the items in his pocket.
