How many levels of pickpocketing?
   

Whilst pickpocketing people I got various messages telling me how easy or difficult it would be. Some said that it would be extremely difficult but I still tried.

I was wondering if this was the highest difficulty? and how many levels there were?

I worked out that there are six levels of difficulty possible:

child's play
simple
risky
difficult
damn difficult
nearly impossible

Hope this is not a spoiler.

the 6 levels only signify how difficult their pocket is to pick, not your chances though...because if you have a low dexterity you won't even
be able to pick a simple pocket, and yet if your dexterity is high you can
pick the nearly impossible.
also i noticed that it would be advantageous to wait til later chapters to pick pockets. This is my 2nd time around and i've noticed that it goes as follows for when you are pickpocketing someone's purse(gold).
ch1 25xp
ch2 75xp
ch3 150xp
ch4 200xp

The pickpocket score to beat is stored as an hex number in game.dat. Search for DIA_(name)_pickpocket there is the scripted action if you talk fail or succeed and how they react to you. Next is the score at the end 4 places from the FF FF FF FF end statement. Most all stored data is like this in the game from all weapon stats, item values, spell damage, etc.

In chapter 1 every successful pickpocket is rewarded with 25xp? Does that mean with each chapter you can pickpocket everyone again and get more xp than the previous chapter?

...Or do you mean that you only get xp once per person you pickpocket, and the amount of xp you get is determined by the chapter? If this is the case, then I'll wait until chapter 4 (highest xp per person possible) to start pickpocketing. If I can get xp for each person once per chapter, then I'll make sure I get everyone in every chapter...

Anyone care to clear this up for me? Thanks!

yes there are some people you can pickpocket more than once, but maybe only around 5% or less. Usually it is when they move to a different locale, or change roles or something else that warrants them having new dialog responses. Chapter 3 is probably the best to wait til since after that it no longer doubles but gives you only 50xp more per level.

I might only pickpocket all the NPCs that give items needed to complete or begin quests in chapter 1. I'm trying to do as many quests as possible in chapter 1. Could I get a quick list of all the NPCs that when pickpocketed will trigger a new quest and all the NPCs that need to be pickpocket in order to complete quests available in chapter 1? (Please don't include quests that cannot be completed in chapter 1.) Thanks!
