About this mod

Not every faction you wrong should be happy just because you paid your dues to the Imperials. If your crimes against a faction are witnessed by a member of that faction, and they're not fans of the Imperial Legion, they might wanna come collect retribution for themselves as well. Simple interop for mod-added factions included. (MWSE Lua)

Factional Bounties

What is this mod?
Factional Bounties is a MWSE-Lua mod that introduces a new mechanic, doing exactly what the title says. With this mod, some factions will keep track of their own bounties against you. If a member of such a faction witnesses you committing a crime against their or an affiliated faction, they will not (just) report you to the Imperial Law, but also make sure you pay your retribution to the faction you wronged.

NPCs of those factions will get a disposition hit from their faction's bounty on your head, refuse services, and might even become violent if you've got a large enough bounty (1000+ gold) and refuse to pay.

Prerequisites
You'll need Morrowind with Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions and the latest version of MWSE. If there are some cool features in a new MWSE version that could be useful for this mod, they will be used with little to no regard to older MWSE versions.

Installation
Use Mod Organizer (seriously). If you really don't want to, place the files contained in the archive in your Data Files directory. Make sure to enable the contained FactionalBounties.esp, or to merge it into your patch.

Configuration
Currently configuration is done directly in MWSE/mods/robocroque/FactionalBounties/config.lua. There you can also enable "debug mode", which will enable extensive logging and a debug menu that can be opened and closed with the "/" key.

OpenMW compatibility
Since this mod is written for MWSE versions with Lua support, it is not compatible with OpenMW, at least until OpenMW adds support for the MWSE (and MWSE-Lua) API. However, it is currently unknown when that will happen, if at all.

Compatibility with other mods
This mod should not introduce any incompatibilities with other mods. If you're a mod author and you want your faction to also collect their own dues, interoperability should be trivial to implement without introducing any hard dependencies on this mod. Once this mod reaches a mature enough state, I will post a separate guide detailing how to do that.

Known Issues / Wishlist
The following features are not yet implemented but would definitely be nice to have:
  • a "Last Witness" type feature
  • displaying the faction bounties on the character sheet
  • MCM configuration
