For those who steal, Guard names on or off?

Personally I like to turn on the Guard names to appear overhead so I know where they are since they're not treated like normal NPCs you only see their names and not their healthbars unless you mouse over them. I know some people who actively steal leave the guard names off for more immersion and the annoyance of other NPCs with a yellow bar over their heads. Which way do you do prefer and as to why?

This one didn't do it! That NPC fell on my blade and all his stuff fell into my pocket:)

I have it on just to make it easier to see the Guards!

You can do that?

Well, I... honestly didn't know you could do that.

I keep them turned off

I have all names off for immersion.

I wish I could hide that damn "hold to interact" popup, without addons, or at least make it tiny and simple and not say their whole @ name and character name filling my screen when I'm trying to see something else behind it, like their nice armor.

I don't get caught but don't need their names. I'm unseen by anyone.

I only go stealing in the same place and there aren't any guards in there. There's actually a single solitary guard in the place but i always bypass that room in my route.

I also just know the guard routines in Wayrest, where I steal, so I'm all good.

I have all names turned off. Looks nicer. I’ll try stealing with names on to see if I’m any better at it but I doubt it

A good thief doesn’t need to know guard names.

...someday... there will be scent support for online games, and then the Khajiit will have a great advantage when it comes to evading the town guard as long as they keep their nose in the air for the small of... donut...
