📋 About This Mod
Description
Who says a pirate's life is hard?! Well, now it has changed.
This mod won't let companions leave your side, nor will they ever complain as you unlife anyone who stands in your path.
Choosing the Crimson Fleet will give you better loot, more loot and no companions will ever leave you again.
Several devious merchants will sell better and more equipment, armor, weapons etc.
IF you have made the right choice and joined the Fleet.
Some merchants will only sell certain things when you've gotten to a specific level. Different armor and weapons, even legendary and upgraded equipment, will drop and sell at different levels. Also RNG will be in play.
However, inflation have made life more expensive, in some ways, but you will get paid more choosing the Dark Side. Quest rewards, boarding ships (don't forget the Captains locker hint hint) or just choose the "bad" way to finish several questlines will give more payout.
As a "not so law abiding" citizen you're also good at lockpicking.
(Testing some things on "inaccesable" doors. Please let me know if it works on all doors you encounter that usually shouldn't work with lockpicking)
If you only roleplay as "The Good Guy" then this mod is NOT for you.
Now you can choose whatever way you want.

Notes:
This mod will get tweaked over time and new features will be added.
But to get everything balanced, i will need feedback to improve all tweaks, twists and turns.
Look at v0.x as a pre-release or beta-test, if you will.
FYI; I am looking to do this mod more NSFW in the future.
This mod will work with my "EZ's Emotional (in)Security" mods. However, you get alot mor
