Crime - Lockpicking

Lockpicking is a non violent crime that happens when:

• NPC notices you when you're lockpicking a lock. This is checked every 0.5 seconds while the lockpicking window is opened
• It's considered a crime only when you're lockpicking something that belongs to someone (mostly any sort of container inside of some building)
• NPCs ignore you if you're lockpicking locks something else (e.g. random chest in a forest)
• You can tell if lockpicking a certain object is considered a crime if the interaction text is red
• As lockpicking does not pause the time, it's possible to start lockpicking in safe area but with an NPC coming to you.

Crime values:

Arrest

Guards will rush to wherever the crime happened. However if you run away, return guards get close enough to you, they will try to arrest you with these options:

• Bribe
• Convince
• Pay a fine
• Resist arrest

Bribes cost $Total\;infamy\;points/200$ (up to 10000 infamy points), multiplied by gold inflation. Fine costs twice more.

Selecting the pay a fine option if this is your worst crime committed has the following effects outside of other fine based punishments

• Losing reputation equal to $All\;infamy\;points/40$, up to 100 reputation points lost
• NPCs lose $All\;infamy\;points/50$ opinion on you, up to 200, spread equally among every NPC in the settlement
