Hello all.
Im having some trouble with pickpocketing and was wondering if i was missing some game mechanic function or if it really is this inconsistent.
the problem i am having is that my mark is inconsistently catching me while charging up the timer. Some times it is instant, other times i can get a good 15+ seconds on the timer. I figured out that the color of the medallion indicates if im going to get caught or not. Ive tested this with a save file, pickpocketing the same sleeping person in theoretically the same exact place in space and time. so im confused as to why a sleeping person will instantly catch me one invocation of the game, but when i reload and try again i can charge the timer up really high no problem. To me that seems like a bug. Or is pickpocketing supposed to be so inconsistent with risk, it has little to do with you skill or stats thus making it not worth your time other than quest related

I’m getting this as well. The timer doesn’t even begin to charge, I’m just instantly caught. In the dead of night. By someone dead asleep. With 0 Noise rating and Crouching Chameleon procc’d.
