Anyone know why this is? I can’t get anything done in rattay now because I have -61 rep with citizens for no reason. I did some pick pocketing but never was caught. And the soldiers rep is constantly going down as well even though I submit to searches and never have stolen items on me. Also what’s with the guards knowing when you knock people out or steal even though you aren’t caught.
rumors?

are you ever doing anything to try to raise your reputation, as if not then reputation will only logically trend one-way
I think even crimes that you dont get caught in the act lowers rep but just less. Also as said above if you do nothing to raise reputation but just steal/sneak around it only goes one way.
Would even make sense tbh. New person arrives to town (very small towns where everyone probavly knows eachother) and bad stuff begins to happen. Rumours begins to spread and finally guards will act by for example searching you.
I want to know what people and guard say though when you stroll past them with really low rep. I have above 60 everywhere and they just hail me. Would like to know other side aswell 
The realism excuse isn’t a good argument for a broken system lol. It’s clearly not functioning properly as there would be no point to stealth skills if they knew you did it either way xD it’s not realistic that guards have the all seeing eye and can detect stolen loot. Also yeah I’ve tried doing positive things but there isn’t much to do besides quests and giving money and it’s really slow gains so nearly impossible starting off as you’re poor
you say that but in the real world most thieves are not rich, quite the opposite, neither do they have good reputations locally, because the steal from the common man.
on the other hand someone who seldom commits theft but when they do its a grand theft from an institution/company seldom lose much reputation, because they seldom do it and its not affecting the common man.
Again it has nothing to do with realism. The system needs to be fixed it’s a game not real life.
It’s a game trying to mimic real life…you get that right?
You get that the system is a typical crime system right? It’s glitched pure and simple, so many people are saying this. The only thing based on realism is the setting and some attempts at physics with weapons. You can’t say “oh the crime system isn’t broke it’s just real” nothing is real about not being able to get away with crime it’s just a new game glitch that’ll likely be fixed in the upcoming patch.
Let me ask you this, how do you know when you’re not seen? How do you know when you succeeded in your stealth? How do you know someone didn’t see you walk into the house? Was your reputation positive before doing something, or just neutral, or maybe even negative to begin with?
I personally have been able to get away with crimes, so I know it’s possible.
I at no point said there were ZERO glitches, I merely refuted your statement of “it’s a game not real life”.
That’s a dumb argument as clearly this is a game TRYING to mimic real life in as many ways as they can while keeping a focus on authenticity for the time period.
Such being the case, i’ve noticed quite a few things in this particular “game” that are clearly allusions to real life scenarios.
Like some NPC’s actually lie to you and give you bad info based on certain criteria (clothing, intimidation, weaponry, current reputation, speech skills etc).
So it’s not just a matter of “I clicked stealth first he shouldn’t know I stole it”.
Maybe you did too many quest for the people from your hometown? If you raise you rep with them you lose rep with rattay people because they dont like them.
Reputation, law and crime in general is bugged, but it should go down after a while even if the numbers doesn’t show it. I’ve been stuck at -75 reputation with the villagers in ledetchko, but as time passed they act as if the reputation is at zero or positive
I think I’ll just punch a guard and go to jail. Apparently that being a rep back up
the argument "oh its just trying to be like real life " is much worse. that is just an excuse for a broken feature. you know you were unseen in stealth as literally nobody is there, no audio feedback, no message popping up about rep. All those things happen when caught. there are numerous reports about it not functioning correctly and as describe by the actual tutorial so it has nothing to do with “realism”.
