Consequences of stealing in POE 2, are there any?

[Stiler]

In POE 1 as long as the npc didn't see you and you lifted things it was pretty much ok.

 

Just wondering if it's changed in POE2, can you just steal everything to your hearts content without being seen without any consequence or are there drawbacks to doing so, even if you aren't seen?

 

I noticed after a while in my reputation that I was "Shady" and I'm not sure if this was from stealing or not (never got caught or seen).

I haven't seen any consequences as long as you don't get caught. I got shady as well but I think it's from bluffing and lying as I didn't have the

disposition indicators on for a long time and now that I have it on I see shady next to those responses from time to time
