Pickpocketing is one of my favorite skills in The Elder Scrolls - I love the thieves guild and all its beautiful members, so pickpocketing is very important to me and I am sure it is for everyone else too, right? (Rhetorical - of course it is.)
It warms my heart greatly that they've made it so much more interesting - BGS has recently released the skill- or perk-tree if you prefer, for pickpocketing. First of all, it seems like weight and value of an object affects how difficult it is to steal <-- Awesome. But that aside, lets see them perks:
[Light Fingers 0/5] Reduces the influence weight and value of items has on your chance of successfully pickpocket an item
[Night Thief] Pickpocketing sleeping people works almost every time
[Poisoned] Silently place poison in other peoples pockets in order to harm or kill
[Cutpurse] Pickpocketing gold is 50% easier
[Extra Pockets] Carrying capacity is increased by 100
[Keymaster] Pickpocketing keys always works
[Misdirections] You can pickpocket equipped weapons
[Perfect Touch] You can pickpocket equipped items
Personally I've always enjoyed the idea of having perks in an Elder Scrolls game - In fact, the first thing I thought when I saw them in Fallout was: "Why the hell isn't this in Oblivion?"
Just looking at these perks for pickpocketing, confirms my opinion: Perks are awesome - And now, so will being a thief!
I totally agree with you. Thievery is among my favorite parts of the game as well. The more people I talk to about pickpocketing and thievery, the more I find that most people enjoy this part of the game. Nice work!
