So, you've earned a death warrant by committing some serious crimes, and you have exhausted all your possibilities: you cannot ask the Thieves' Guild to take care of your bounty, and there are no more favors to call in from important friends with connections. Your life is forfeit, the guards will pursue you forever with the intention to kill you.

With this mod, you will be given one last chance to avoid that scenario: you can agree to be branded as a criminal by magical means. Everyone will know about your crimes, and you will be a social outcast for the rest of your life. Few people would talk, or trade with you or give you any work, or otherwise acknowledge your existence. For all intents and purposes, it's almost like being dead, only that you can at least remain alive and even your bounty would go away, just this once. You can only choose to be branded as a criminal once, if you earn a death a warrant once again, when you are already branded, then the guards would try to execute you, just like in vanilla.

What is it like being branded as a criminal?

- Your personality will be permanently damaged to zero (with 100 points) because of the magical branding, which means that you can expect the rudest remarks from every NPC you walk past by
- If you address anyone, they will just call you a scum and tell you to go away: this also means that neither the various services (such as fast travel, trade etc.) nor the various questlines will be available to you

There are some exceptions, though:

- The Thieves' Guild and the Morag Tong would still treat you normally, after all, they are organized crime factions, so you can get services from them and still do their questlines
- You can still ask the Thieves' Guild to take care of any bounty that you accumulate too (provided that you have the necessary gold)
- The vampire clans do not care about you being a social outcast either, considering that they are also social outcasts, so you can also work for them, and get services from them - but only if you are a vampire too, of course
- The Daedric Princes don't concern themselves with such matters, you will still be able to serve them too - provided that serving them does not involve talking with a mortal
- If you commit any further crimes, the guards will still talk with you to fine you/put you into jail/accept your writs issued by the Morag Tong etc.
- Everything else that includes any interaction with society will be impossible for you

I believe that this mod is a useful tool for roleplaying a social outcast and/or notorious criminal, or if you feel that there should be more punishments in the game than fines, going to jail and a death warrant.

Compatibility:

There are a couple of mods that modify the dialogue of guards. This mod should be compatible with those. However,  if this mod doesn't work as intended, putting it at the bottom of your mod list will most likely solve the issue. Otherwise, it has been playtested several times, and no bugs were encountered.
