My apologies for forgetting some of this … Early game there is a Lady you meet and one of her quests is to go get some wine, a crown and something else for her sisters? wedding.
Anyway prior to this, I had stolen a bunch of 5 waffenburgs or whatever they are called … And a bunch of better arrows
During the Ladys’ quest, the wine is not available, so you are hinted at entering an Archery contest.
At the Archery range, is one guy looking after the place.
If you take a few practice shots at the targets, the guy stood nearby immediately recognises the arrows you fire to be stolen, and shouts bringing 3 guards to kick your butt.
How, I mean really how would they be recognised for real as being stolen ???
I was not caught stealing them, I am a respected person where they were stolen from
Is there some kind of medievil bar code which this guy can read and exactly identify these particular arrows as being stolen?, were they on a bulletin scroll of stolen goods from other towns recently?, might I not have been given them from someone, or bought them, if the type of arrow is only available from one place in the game world? - What exactly made these identifiable as stolen that would make sense in this medievil world ???
I find this to be a bit of a realism breaker, as much as if you had included dragons or goblins in the game, and so consider it as a bug with the suspension of disbelief of the game.
