I'm at the tail end of the Thieves Guild 'Restoring The Guild To It's Former Glory' series of quests. I've gotten through the whole TG so far without spending perks into pickpocketing. My goal is to NOT spend any perks into pickpocketing so that I don't have to struggle with the idea of wasting perks and what I should and shouldn't make "Legendary".
I'm stuck on pickpocketing Pantea Ateia in Solitude for possibly the last sub-quest I need in order to move forward toward achieving full influence in Solitude and thus finishing the first half of the TG quests and, due to the bug, becoming Grandmaster after I do the main Quest line.
I have the invisibility spell which I pop after muffle. I have boots, bracers, a ring and necklace all with 33 percent better chance of pickpocket success enchantments, and I make sure to take off all my armor. I then save the game thinking that my 147 percent chance of successfully pickpocketing (with 15 percent from invisibility) will be more than adequate to steal an 800g diamond when she's sleeping. I've reloaded more than 40 times and my chances are feeling less and less realistic.
I'm stuck and I have no clue what it will take to get around this worthless attribute that weighs heavily on only one portion of the game. Can anyone help me out? Please do not post obvious comments like "Just spend the one or two points into pickpocketing" NO, the whole point is to not have to do this. I look forward to hearing replies.
Update: I should not that I'm playing on the PS3! - Incase that has any difference with the display or interface of how active effects are shown.
