Hey, everyone...try this with Unnecessary Violence II.
Think about it.
Being able to knock a guard out temporarily, using that time to take all their armor and items, then getting to a spot where nobody sees you, to put on the armor, and go undercover.
And the best part?
Your bounty doesn't go up even one gold. It doesn't count as an assault either from what I've seen.
Oh, ya. I remember. I wrote a giant reply to that, Candex. And entered it the moment my internet failed. I didn't reread that, but the short version is a lot of that does no apply to my circumstance. Being vague does leave ambiguity, but it also is respectful to those who'd rather not me mention them. So I can understand where you are coming off from, and I thank you for the kind words.

Good news, I'll get to try it then, probably when I start a new character. I have TNR One of the Gang atm. I was tracking your file and when I decided to download it, well, it was gone.
About your notice, a short comment.

I usually don't read that kind of things. I used to think, 'another whiner. Another guy that mixed up with the wrong poeople, and it was obvious for everybody from the beginning. That'll never happen to me, because I know who I choose to call friend'. Well life sucks. It was actually good to read your km. long notice, and I read it twice just to make sure: I am not the only one. Because that is what happened to me, what is still happening to me now, only that in 'real' life. People I have to see their faces daily. And oddly enough I still respect most of them. But I wouldn't share with and trust them like I did before. Life gave me a lesson: Never Expect Anything From Anyone, and you will never be disappointed. Never from Anyone, and even though it's hard to keep in mind 24/7, there is always plenty of occasions when, again, life reminds me about it. And ever since I learned that one, I found a little bit of Peace in my life. Just sharing my lesson here, you never know who may find it useful.
I'll PM you, but for others who may have the same question I'll also type it out in comments. I will copy and paste this to you.
I am working on a mod that is called Infiltration. It is essentially everything this mod is not. When you first think "under cover" in Oblivion and all those wild thoughts of "that'd be cool if" is basically what Infiltration will be. It's already started, actually.
The whole "mask" thing is kind of.. well.. The Cowl of the Grey Fox is basically what you asked for, and that's vanilla. And while my biggest concern when modding is compatibility I don't have the foggiest on a reasonable way to help the whole going under cover thing with other people's mods. I know I can easily make the game read if the player has something equipped somewhere, but what if it's just a hat? How can I justify going undercover wearing a hat, taking it off and suddenly the guards have no idea that the person with just their hair covered is the person they were chasing. Just too unreasonable for me. Justification is my second biggest concern when modding.
Worry not, eventually some time soon there will be a mod that trumps this. I won't make it so that this mod is irrelevant, as this can still be useful to people who may not like what I'll do with Infiltration.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Do you think there is a way to make this work with mask and stealth mods? It would be nice to wear a mask, such as the extavagant masks or ninja mask mods, when a guard catches you and when you run around a corner( assuming you run from them) be able to take off the mask (or perhaps a vis-versa scenerio) and have the guards ask you if you have seen a person acting suspicious and tell you to move along. This way the guard uniforms would still be useful for getting past the castle defenses to say, the vaults of cyrodiil mod, and the masks could hide your identity when stealing from shops at night or nobles on the street. That way, those really cool masks could actually be useful for more than decoration. Finally, would you be so kind as to PM me about this, since I have a terrible memory and will probably forget to look for this reply otherwise( it has happened before). Thank you so much in advance!!!
If you're interested, this mod is compatible with:
Servant of the Dawn: Adds a fully voiced extension to the main quest allowing you to join the Mythic Dawn. Either the creator added his own faction or you did, but putting on the robe puts you in two MD factions.
Flame Atronach Armor by Karstux (I think): Adds armor to Flame Atronaches.
COBLE: I have no idea how to explain this, it just does strange things in strange ways.
Unofficial Oblivion Patch: Doesn't change scripting on any wearable items, only updates the textures.
A Brotherhood Renewed (maybe): Self explanatory. The creator changed the female version of the armor. Not sure if he added his own or changed the meshes/textures.
Recommended mods to add: Curse of Hurcine Midas Magic Vvardenfell Imports Reapers' Coldstone (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28340)
Incorrect. It is a separate mod and page altogether. Please look at my Modding Profile, by clicking on my name in the details of the mod page under Uploader, to find this mod.
As to which version it is, I am unsure. To verify this, please look at the date at which 1.3.1 was added and the date at which the compatible version was created. This should answer your question.

Should there be anything that you wish me to update for your own tastes, please feel free to PM me with details and I will make it so as soon as I possibly can. More details on when, how and etc will be sent VIA reply once I figure out more of my lack of internet situation. (it's complicated, and, no, because I'm able to say this right now does not mean that I have internet. Just means I have access to AN internet connection at this moment... and not on my modding computer.... If you wanna know more about it PM me again and I will let you know.)
