I pickpocketed some guy's diary in Skyrim, it referenced a shifty deal he had with the mob. I thought, "Hey, that's a pretty cool bit of unnecessary flavour text". Turns out it actually turns up in another quest as evidence. You're supposed to confront the guy and get him to confess, but he already confessed when I stole the diary. I went back to him, but he just said something along the lines of "You've ruined my life, now just leave me alone! Get out of my house!"

This is why I'm very careful at these types of games. I normally go around my business, tending to avoid touching things that seem important, out of fear it might affect something later in the game that involves bugs.
Nonetheless, I'll keep in mind not to pickpocket anyone. I actually don't do that anyway, I'm a sucker for obeying laws in games under most circumstances.
The thing I'm looking forward to the most is travelling. I did a play through of Oblivion where I didn't fast-travel once. I ran to places, just to soak up the world. With Skyrim, I know it'll be better due to the huge variety of differently themed environs. I know for a fact, sometimes I'll stand rooted to the spot and just look at everything.
