In honor of "1000 things Team Fortress 2 taught me", let's share skyrim's wisdom.
First and foremost:
1. A skilled pickpocket can steal someone's boots off their feet without them noticing.
2. If someone hears a scream, walks into the room, and sees you standing with a bloodied dagger over a fresh corpse, they have no idea who could have done this.
3. Any merchant can look at any item and instantly know that it was stolen. Even if it's a piece of steak.
4. The average Nord can carry about 300 pounds and still be able to sprint for several hundred feet.
