This may be a nothing-burger to most people playing this game, but it always really bothered me that looting corpses was counted on my crime record in the first game, even though none of the items were considered stolen.

I figured they could have fixed this distinction to only the corpses you stole from, but instead they actually made it worse, because now it seems like every item you loot from a corpse goes on your record as stolen goods, even though none of the items are listed as stolen in my inventory.

I've got well over 100 stolen items on my crime record now, yet the only time I intentionally stole anything was a few herbs to create a fever potion to heal a guy for the main quest, and a couple bottles of alcohol to clean wounds and heal people for an optional task.

Maybe it's just a bug (Lord knows this game is full of those right now), but it really bothers me that my pure God-fearing Henry is being misrepresented on his crime record like this.

Edit: Some historical context I found on reddit:

Spoiler!

I’ve mentioned it elsewhere, but during Medieval times there was a fairly clear distinction between battlefield looting on the one hand, and claiming rightful spoils of war on the other.

  Turning up at a battlefield and sitting on the sidelines so you can pick up whatever you find would definitely have been considered distasteful looting.

However, for a participant in the battle to strip fallen enemies of valuables like money, weapons and armour would’ve been considered anything but dishonourable. E.g. even during Ancient times, the act of going one on one with an enemy, killing him and stripping him of his armour was considered a legendary and honourable deed in Roman society that several generations of descendants would’ve bragged about incessantly to anyone within ear shot.

That hadn’t changed much by Medieval times. There even a legend that the Prince of Wales’s badge came from the Black Prince taking not only the helmet but even the motto of John of Bohemia (the grandfather of Charles Sigismund and Wenceslaus), after someone (not the Black Prince himself even) had killed the (blind, old) king at the Battle of Crécy. It’s a legend, but it still gives a pretty good indication at how these things were considered at the time. It’s certainly not a story derived from gossip and slander.

I've heard that you have to stash them. What I wanna know is how do you get rid of the blood on them so you can use them without being noticed by a guard.
