It looks like Starfield is making a big change to the pickpocket mechanics. In Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG, we’ll steal from NPCs in real time.
This means, as shown in a Reddit post by OkPain2022, that we follow our target around while we check what they have in their pockets. Unlike Skyrim and Fallout, where you can spend as much time as you like going through someone’s inventory while the world grinds to a halt around you, in Starfield we have to be quick with our pickpocketing.
It’s not the biggest change in the world, but it’s another interesting and immersive feature Bethesda is bringing to Starfield. Some wonder if lockpicking will share a similar fate, as picking a lock would be much more exciting if time didn’t stop while you were doing it.
What do you think of this change? Will real-time pickpocketing make you more or less likely to rob NPCs?
