📋 About This Mod
To instal, place the \"esp\" file in your data and activeted it in your data file before running the game The idea is : At the gates of a city, a guard can\'t reconize a bandit, thus some of them can walk inside the city. This mod makes cities a little bit more dangerous. In fact, there are 3 kind of Bandits in each city: -Bandit (75% chance none) -Highway man (ask you 100 gold or fight,50% chance none) -Marauder (75% chance none) In other words, there are 25% chance for you to see a bandit in a city, 25% marauder and 50% highway man. But with \"NPCs alive\", they don\'t always attack you or somebody else. I SUGGEST the mod \"NPCs alive\", because without, a bandit will attack you each time when he spawns! With this mod, there are a chance of no fight even if you see a bandit. The mod \"Crowned Cities\" could be good too. I don\'t think that this mod can make a mess in cities because there are lots of guards. V1. 0
This mod adds three types of bandits to cities in Oblivion, making urban areas more dangerous. Bandits, highwaymen, and marauders appear with varying chances, and highwaymen may demand 100 gold or fight. A small, older mod with 66 endorsements, last updated in 2008.
