pickpocketing... so difficult sometimes. but so worthy!
learn sneaking, pickpocketing level 1 and 2, and rise your dexterity. be sure no one sees you when you sneak behind somebody. and remember! you have a very short time until the victim will feel you. so don't try to take from the first try all his inventory. look for valuable items first. and save before.

or... you could just beat everybody. first take the ones with crossbows ;)

In essence, pick pocketing in G1 is entirely and utterly useless. It's so crappy that you have to ask yourself why the hell this ability was put into the game. Maybe a way to make the game more challenging for new players by having them waste 10 LP on something completely pointless?

For pick pocketing to work, you need to sneak up from behind without anyone seeing you. This essentially means that your victim has to be alone, which means that simply beating up the guy is five times easier.

There are "immortal" npc's that you can't beat in the early chapters... For example, if you manage to take the key from Gomez... well... there is a nice sword in a locked room somewhere in the castle.

Those NPCs are immune to pickpocketing. On top of that, lots of non-invincible NPCs are immune to pickpocketing.

Thank you!

You have helped me enough. I just thought it was a mistake of the game because I tried everything about pickpocketing but whithout having the sneaking skill!;)
