About this mod
A modder\'s resource containing one script to allow a player to realistically reduce infamy by knocking off particular villains. Excellent for a \"most-wanted enemies\" sort of mod/quest, or simply for those who wish to reduce infamy in a realistic manner.
- Permissions and credits
Requirements: Oblivion with the latest official patch
Purpose: I got very sick of having infamy added to my character for accidentally striking
someone, and then being forced to use a console cheat or go on a pilgrimage across the
whole of Cyrodiil to get rid of it. To say nothing of reloading from saves.
So I created this little resource. It adds a single object script to the game, which YOU
may add to any NPC's or creatures you desire WHO DO NOT ALREADY HAVE A SCRIPT ATTACHED
TO THEM. Once attached, whenever you kill this "wanted criminal" or "dangerous threat"
you will increase your fame by a single point and if your infamy is above 1, also reduc
your infamy by 1 point.
Note: (how killing is RESTORING your good reputation I shall leave to you to
rationalize - I'm a modder, not a therapist)
Ok, seriously:
How it works:
This is a modder's resource, which means that, yes, you will need to place it into the
game yourself. This esp file includes a single object script, namely:
scn 000lpOnDeathFameScr
Begin onDeath Player
modPCFame 1
if ( GetPCInfamy >=1 )
modPCInfamy -1
endif
end
That script up there. Currently, is is attached to the first Necromancer boss on the list
as an example of how to go about the process of using this mod. Simply open an npc, choose
this script from their drop down menu and save your changes. Done. Infamy reduction
assured.
Note on (Possible and even likely) Conflicts:
Since Oblivion likes to load changes to any particular object from only ONE mod in your
ENTIRE load order I urge you to be careful in making changes to your enemies in THIS esp
file.
This is especially true of those running overhaul mods. You might want to copy and paste
this script into your favorite overhaul mod as an Object script and THEN attach it to
your preferred baddies in THAT esp file.
IF you go about things this way, BACK UP any esp files BEFORE changing them. I CANNOT
be held responsible for the effects this might have on your mods, saves or love life.
Alternatively you can beg and plead with your preferred overhaul author to simply add
this to their next inevitable release; offer them something nice, perhaps. Thank them
if they agree. Endorse if you enjoy.

Its a resource. Use it, have fun with it. If someday your Paladin recovers his righteous
rep without having to flog a horse half to death between Wayshrines please feel free
to credit me with the idea. I will be just as grateful as the horse and twice
as likely to say thanks, since I would like to see this made available to those Heaven's-Fury
Wearing Paladin types just in case.
Enjoy!
