📋 About This Mod

In vanilla Morrowind, you have two options for clearing a bounty: turning yourself in to the guards or joining the Thieves Guild and paying them to make the problem go away. Now you have more options. This mod was made for characters who can't or won't join the Thieves Guild, for whatever reason, but aren't above a bit of bribery if it helps them out. Since the Thieves Guild offers this service to anyone who walks in and asks to join up, I don't consider it unbalancing.

Nolus Atrius is a corrupt magistrate mentioned in vanilla dialogue, the guy the Camonna Tong is paying to look the other way. However, Bethesda never placed him in game. This mod originally put him in game and created a small office for him at the back of Fort Moonmoth near the merchant stands. Due to the fact that future Tamriel Rebuilt versions will include Nolus Atrius on the mainland, I have now (as of v1. 3) replaced this mod's version of Nolus with an equally corrupt deputy magistrate, Carolus Allectus, and updated the dialogue to reflect that.

Any player can ask Carolus to get rid of their bounty; he'll do so at the discount you normally get for voluntarily turning yourself in to a guard, and he won't take your stolen stuff. He also has some custom dialogue and if you ask him about rumours, he'll point you (in a vague and distinctly skeptical fashion) to a couple of obscure side quests in the Balmora area that require either out of character knowledge or extreme luck to complete in vanilla.

Members of House Hlaalu and House Telvanni have a slightly better option - they can talk to Odral Helvi or Fast Eddie and have their bounties removed at the same discount as Thieves Guild members, providing they meet a few conditions. House Redoran takes a dim view of such things, though, and members of that House will just have to talk to Carolus. That's the price of honour, I'm afraid.

House Telvanni - Once you've recruited Eddie as your mouth, talk to him any time you need your name cleared.

House Hlaalu - Players of rank Lawman or above can ask Odral Helvi in the Governor's Hall in Caldera to clear their name. He needs to like you first, though (Disposition 70 required).

For members of the Blades - none of them will risk their cover to sort out your problems, but they'll direct you to people who can help if you ask while you have a price on your head.

The mod has been cleaned with TESAME and tes3cmd, and shouldn't need to be re-cleaned.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 1,181 endorsements and nearly 100k downloads—clearly fills a niche.
  • Adds much-needed roleplay depth to a frustrating vanilla mechanic.
  • Lightweight and focused—does one thing and does it well.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in May 2021—may have compatibility issues with newer mod setups or patches.
  • Requires a new game or save reload to take effect, which might disrupt ongoing playthroughs.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Morrowind roleplayers who want more immersive ways to handle bounties without breaking character. Also great for players who find the vanilla Thieves Guild requirement too restrictive. Skip if you're fine with the original two options or prefer gameplay overhauls that change more than just bounty mechanics.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to read the mod's included readme or forum posts for exact new options—the description is vague.
  • If you're using a mod manager like Wrye Mash, install this mod and rebuild your patch to avoid conflicts.
  • Test the new bounty options with a small bounty first to see how they work before relying on them in a tight spot.
