  Description

  The great factions do not share their wealth freely. Vaults, treasuries, and restricted chambers are guarded by loyal soldiers who will not hesitate to act if they spot an uninvited guest. This mod adds a layer of consequence to trespassing in faction-controlled areas.

  When you enter a restricted cell and a guard spots you, they will lock onto you, draw their weapon, and issue a warning countdown. If you don't disappear from their line of sight in time, they will attack and add a bounty to your name. High-ranking members are welcome while sufficiently sneaky intruders may slip through unnoticed.

  Supported factions include the three Great Houses, Hlaalu, Redoran, and Telvanni, as well as the Imperial Legion and the Temple. Each faction enforces access to its own vaults and treasuries, with rank requirements varying by location. Independent restricted areas such as private banks and Indoril vaults treat all visitors as intruders regardless of affiliation.

  • []Faction Awareness: Guards check your faction rank before treating you as an intruder. High-ranking members are welcome. Low-ranking ones are not.[/]

    []Line of Sight: Guards only react if they can actually see you. Sneak past them or break line of sight to avoid confrontation.[/]

    []Warning Countdown: Spotted guards give you a few seconds to leave before attacking. The clock ticks down on screen.[/]

    []Stealth Escape: Invisibility, high Chameleon, or sneaking with a sufficiently high Sneak skill will cause guards to stand down.[/]

    []Bounty and Expulsion: Overstaying your welcome results in a bounty and potential expulsion from the faction whose vault you invaded.[/]

    []Tracking: Guards turn to face you while you're in their sight, making it harder to simply walk past them.[/]

    []Investigating: after you disappear, guards will check the last place they saw you in.[/]

    []Sneak Is Good Now support[/]
