Steal in towns

[JD]

I was wondering about bored playing M&B when I thought of this:

How about if you could steal armor, food, weapons, horses or rob people in towns?

Imagine you have no money and no way of getting it soon and you need it, well, you could always kiss some lords feet for a while, hope he gives yo a quest involving you getting a lot of many to give to him and don't, or you could rob people!

Example:
You go in at night to a town and there's maybe some people walking, you talk to them and there's an option saying ''give me your money or else'' then he would say ''excuse me?'' or ''are you out of your mind?'' and then you could either say ''i was just joking sir, please go along'' or ''i wont say it twice, give me your money or else''. Then he:

a)Gives you the money and goes on normally (-5 with reputation with town)

b)Picks out a knife and tries to kill you (if this happens you either kill him and take the money (-10 reputation with town) or just run out of town (-5 reputation with town)).

c)He runs and starts shouting calling for the guards (if this happens, you either go after him and kill him (-10 reputation with town), probably some guards would come and try to kill you and if they do you would get in prison (-10 reputation with town), or you run out of town (-5 reputation with town)

d)He says ''I'm not giving you my money'' and walks away going to get the guards, and then you could either kill him and take the money (-10 reputation with town) or get out of town (-5 reputation with town).


You could also ''stick up'' a armorear or a goods store and take supplies and money. Then the same as before: ''give me your money or else'' then he would say ''excuse me?'' or ''are you out of your mind?'' and then you could either say ''i was just joking sir, please pardon my rude behaviour'' or ''i wont say it twice, give me your money or else''.
Then the same of above, either some guards come in to get you, you kill him/her and take whatever you can quickly and try to get out of town fighting guards as you go (-15 reputation with town), or they give you money and supplies, go normally out of town and that's it (-10 reputation with town) (Next time you go in that shop guards are there and will arrest you when they see you or try to kill you (-10 reputation with town))
Next time you go to that town and a person recognises you walking in the streets, they will give the alarm and if your not the lord of the town, the guards will try to arrest you and you must fight you're way out killing civilians if you want on your way (-5 reputation with town for each civilian/guard killed + -10 reputation just for that)


So, what do you think? I think it would be good for getting supplies and money out of enemy town's and having some extra fun he he

With those numbers, after you rob one or two people, you are locked out of the town, which is pretty self-defeating.  Unless the game also provides ways for a thief to sneak over the walls unseen with (e.g.) a grappling hook.  And nobody would break into a fortified town just to mug someone...

I like the idea of being able to mug people - after all, town bandits can do it.  But the implementation would need some work.

Grappling hook is to much ninja he he, but I mean that would be if someone actually saw who you where, but if you wear like a black hood and a black outfit, or a new outfit would be necessary to implement this. But it would still be good, going in all black and just with some throwing knifes and a knife as equipment. But if you get discovered then that's the -reputation you would get or what ever the makers agree on if they do he he. It would make the game more entertaining/realistic.
