Fable: Silent as a Shadow

IGN Xbox continues their Fable coverage with a new article entitled "Silent as a Shadow" that details the thieving aspect of the RPG, complete with more screenshots & media. Check it out:
Sure, you can be a noble ranger, but who wants that? Even Robin Hood had to grab some free goods. Stealing is not always easy in Fable and of course it is an act of evil. So if you want to stay somewhat good, be sure to do as many good deeds as possible when you aren't robbing people blind.

Picking pockets, locks, and shoplifting all have the same functionality. When you find something you want to mess with, say a locked door, you just stand next to it and the Lockpick expression becomes available. You'll have to hold this down as the meter slowly fills. Once it's filled, the door will open. This is the same for stealing items or picking pockets. You need to hold down the Steal expression until the item is nabbed. Of course, the trick is not being caught.
