>>Vampires and Bandits by Flatnose
In the End, this mod doesn't deserve a big read me file. But, as you have a right to know about this mod before you are starting to use it, here are the facts.
>>Getting started
This is Version v1.0 of my mod "Vampires and Bandits" and, in the end, the name leads to the wrong conclusion. This mod isn't about Vampires and Bandits anymore, at least not only. When i first posted my mod for you to use, I announced great changes in the Vampire Lairs and also the bandit hideouts. Forget about these changes. I experienced, that it was too much work for me and that i wasn't realy glad about my results. Also I had an idea about a storyline for the bandits and I found, that I wasn't able to produce something really exciting. Thats why I have overthrown these plans and now want to give you something else instead.
>>Description
->First, you will need the latest patch 1.2.0416 of Oblivion in order to use this mod!
There are some graphical changes on some of the dungeons and ruins. They are nothing special and not metionable. Then i have added a bunch of new NPCs. These are the bandit smugglers and the vampire traders. So if you become an outlaws there will still be someone who takes your loot!
This mod includes nearly the same procedure for all of the 'bad' factions of Oblivion. Only with different values necessary. That means:
>>Bandits
-If you reach a bounty of 1000 gold (by commiting crimes of course) you will automatically join the bandit faction IF your personal fame is below 10. Then you will gather new ranks by reaching a higher bounty.
-Additionally you gain access to a new topic at rank 3 and 4 that allows you to recruit Bandits below lvl 6 (for 100 Gold) and bandits above lvl 6 (for 200g).
>>Marauders
-If you reach a bounty of 1000 gold but your Fame is 10 or above, the bandits will be too scared of you to accept you in their Faction. You will then have to reach a bounty of 2000 gold to get access to the marauder faction.
-Same point here. As you achieve rank 3 and 4 of the marauder faction, you will get new topics to recruit marauders below lvl 8 (500 gold) and marauders above lvl 8 (1000 gold).
>>Conjurers
-If you are in the mages guild, noone really likes you. I mean, the bandits think you are scary and the marauders are far to physical to trust you. You will then have to reach a bounty of 5000 gold to get into the Conjurer Faction.
-Conjurers are friendly people so you can convince any conjurer to join you for only 50 gold *yay!*
>>Vampires
-Vampires are a different chapter. For you are a mere human you may have as much bounty as you like, they will only see you as food. To join their ranks the only possibility is to become a vampire yourself. You will then become a member of the vampire faction automatically.
-No recruiting on this one.
>>Necromancers
- You will need an infamy higher than 10 and a CrimeGold higher than 4000 g in order to get into the Necromancer Faction.
- There are 3 ranks within the Necromancers. After you have achieved the second rank you will be able to hire other Necromancers.
>>Note!!
- You WILL be kicked out of each faction if you kill a member of it. But you will stay in the faction if you pay your Crime Gold or if you are jailed.
>>Recommended Mods to use with this mod
-In this zip-file i have put a little addition. The "Expensive Crimes.esp". It will change the amount of bounty attached to each crime. So you will not have to murder 6 oder more people to get a high bounty. Please note, the Crime costs are realy high compared to those in vanilla Oblivion. You will pay 6000g for a murder and therefore get at least two ranks if you choose to get into one of the criminal factions as a (reknown) murderer.
-For I have no names I want to give you some hints for mods, that could work with mine.
-For the bandit faction, the marauders and the conjurers search for a "crowded roads" mod to have something to rob on the streets.
-For the vampires search for a good vampirism mod. There are plenty of them. I am using Scorn's Vampirism myself.
-For the Necromancer Faction I suggest a necromancer mod because i will not apply any new spells or abilities.
>>Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with all vampire or necromancer mods you are using. If not, state me a comment and i will try to fix it!
-> If you want to use STARX VANILLA VAMPIRES REVISED i recommend NOT to use the "V&B Vampires and Bandits.esp" because it would narrow your gameplay. In this case use the "V&B Conjurers and Bandits.esp" also included in the 7zip file.
-> THIS MOD WORKS WITH SCORN'S VAMPIRISM
-> THIS MOD WORKS WITH MODUALR OBLIVION ENHANCED
-> THIS MOD WORKS WITH CDM'S VAMPIRISM (but I'm not sure whether it works flawlessly or just by accident :-P)
-> THIS MOD SHOULD WORK WITH QUITE EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO USE.
>>KNOWN ISSUES
If you are using OSCUROS'S OBLIVION OVERHAUL you will experience two annoying issues:
1. Some animals will attack you aand, since they are in the Vampire Faction, you will be dismissed from the Faction if you kill them.
2. The Ghost Warriors added by Oscuros (a very nice idea, by the way) will NOT attack you. That lesser undead don't attack you ist okay for me, but those dead warriors should defend their lairs against vampires, i think. Also it is way to easy to get some greater treasures if the gaurds just let you pass!
In this case use the "V&B-OOO.esp" attached to the .rar file. But make sure (!!) that it loads after OOO.esp. Otherwise i will not work.
