No longer get the join the thieves guild letter

Post by johnwax »

For some time now, and through several updates, I have not gotten the letter starting the 'join the thieves guild' quest. Previously I would get the letter from a beggar not long after entering Daggerfall from Privateers Hold. Do I need to do something to trigger the letter (eg steal an item)?

Yep: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:The ... xamination
About three days after you successfully pickpocket ten civilians or enemies or pick a certain number of locks, you will receive a letter from a one-eyed beggar.

Thanks for the wiki info (should have checked it myself - sorry). Having said that, however, I have looked and can't find any reference as to HOW to lockpick or to pickpocket. The only time I can get to 'steal' something is when browsing the shelves of a store. When I click on a local, I get the conversation screen and that's it. No pickpocket option. I can open a locked door with the Open spell or by bashing it, but I can't find an option to try to pick the lock. Any sage advice and wise counsel?

The F1 button changes your contact mode to theft ;)
