📋 About This Mod
Description
-
[]During the main quest "No Sudden Moves", the game offers many secret doors and passages on The Scow for you to sneak up to the artifact.
[
]However, even if nobody witnesses the artifact being taken, all the guards will immediately turn hostile, and you will incur a bounty.[]This mod allows you to avoid this if you didn't try to persuade Petrov and weren't detected trespassing by the guards.
[]If you attempted persuasion, alerted the guards, or attacked anyone, the quest will revert to the vanilla behaviour.
[]After you have stealthily stolen the artifact, You will no longer have the option to have Petrov walk you down to the now empty display.
[]You still need to sneak out. If guards detect you in off limits locations as you leave, they will still turn hostile.
[]Papyrus scripts only.
[]No plugin.
