Test of Privacy
Set-up:
Test how much the radiant AI values its privacy by breaking into an NPC's home, putting all their stuff onto the bed and waiting for them to come home.
Outcome:
Having placed food on the bed, along with the family's entire library, gardening tools and as many apples as we could, we set about waiting. Our first obstacle came when we discovered you can't use the game's "wait" feature when you're trespassing in a house, which made for a grueling real-time stare. However, when our test resident came home, he simply ignored his bed-mounted inventory, climbed in and slept like a baby. Then we got arrested.
We think:
The people of Cyrodiil don't mind if you screw with their stuff while they're out, but the soldiers go mental. Don't you want to ask the Sleeping Beauty if he wants to press charges, officer?
