We spoke briefly on plugging any exploits that are currently being used in the original game. He mentioned that Obsidian programmer, Richard Taylor is aware of the problems and working on it, though he didn't have any specifics on the exploit where people log out when they are close to dying and then log back in at full health.

If you like playing the thieving sort and interested in pickpocketing, the game won't take into account what the victim is wearing, however they are adjusting it so that sleight of hand uses a threshold check instead of a random roll to avoid people just trying until they succeed. Instead now when a player tries to pickpocket, it will determine the threshold based on your skill abilities and if you fail that check, you won't be able to pickpocket that individual. However you can get around it by increasing your skills via potions or spells and then try again.
