Experience points for successful pick pocketing?

[TotalMilk90]

Is there any mod out there that adds this mechanic, or is there a way it could be done using Near Infinity?

Is it even possible to implement?

I thought maybe adding a PICK_POCKETS line to the XPBONUS.2DA would work but that was just wishful thinking.

Thanks!

It would be nice, wouldn't it? But no. It would have to be hard-coded, which it isn't. And there is no script condition for a successful steal.

Aww man that’s sad to hear. Would have been such a cool thing to have.

'Course it's hardcoded, but back in the days (2009?) Brendan Casey aka scient on SHSForums made some engine fixes used by Qwinn in his PS:T fixpack, there was also a "Pickpocketfailed()" function to trigger a few Eli Havelock's unfinished reactions, which is present in the Iengine, but utterly broken.
It always pissed me off that Beamdog never fixed that it in EE. 
I wonder if I will be ever possible for EEex to do some magic...

Honestly, that's a good idea.

I would probably use such tweak.

I've added it to GemRB with 3 lines of code, so it should be relatively easy to hack in through dll injection etc. as well.

Nice to know!
