were pickpockets nerfed too much?

[gosos]

does anyone think that pickpockets was nerfed too much? I got mine up to 91 and I fail a lot. I can finally get through but about 80-90% of the time I get nothing. I have also noticed that in some cases it seems harder to pickpocket. Not sure if this is a change. It seems to happen when I am surrounded. This may have always been the case and I am just noticing it now.

I have noticed that dungeons/locations are harder to do pickpocket. I fail constantly on the 2nd level of the dwarven graveyard, but my success rate against similar undead is much higher on the first level. I can fail 15 times in a row with a pickpocket in the 80s-90s here and not fail against the same mobs elsewhere. is this a 1.2 change?
