[Idea] Settling your bounty

[Zydar]

At the moment, I know only of one mod that allows you to settle your bounty that is SexLab Paycrime. Not saying its bad, but it just feel too easy for my taste after playing with Alternate Start - Live a Deviant Life. I'm just throwing this out in the case someone picks it up eventually or if I somehow start modding in the future.

 

Basically I'd like it to be expanded a bit for more interaction and make it so that you really have to put in some extra effort so the guards would keep their end of the deal. No more that a single sexual favor in a secluded village would rid you of all the bounty you have on the entire hold.
 

My idea is that when you are caught by the guards and you opt to give them sexual favor as bribe, they would turn a blind eye on you for the day. But if they don't feel satisfied, they might demand you again for another. So for every day you stay in that hold, you have to service the guards at least once a day, more if they demand it. This will last until you pay up your bounty, spend your time in jail or leave the hold (it will kick in when you enter the hold again).

 

The bounty will either decrease bit by bit or none at all, using a random probability when giving the favor. Some guards will not give in to your temptation, especially when their friends are nearby while some would betray you after performing the deed. Both option leading you straight to jail.

 

Additionally have it detect that you are wearing a chastity belt from Devious Device and that will lower your chance of success in tempting them. Or they could instead slap you with a chastity belt instead before sending you to jail as punishment for attempted bribery. You have the option to pay up some fee to get out of it, once you are out of the jail. Either that or acquire the key from bandits via DD - For the Masses or forge one if you could afford it.

 

TL;DR: SL Paycrime too easy, would like to have it expanded so PC need to do more to avoid being sent to jail.

I'd like to see it so that the guard who caught you turns a blind eye for the moment, but the bounty never actually goes away - doing a favor for the guard saves you for the moment but doesn't actually get rid of your bounty. Maybe the game reads it as 'for a day' or 'for 5 in-game hours' or something, temporarily clearing your bounty and then re-instating it. It would be much more immersive to me that way. 

I recently started a new game with a new character with the intention of putting a lot more focus on in-character roleplay with Live Another Life/Sexlab/Interesting NPC's, and wound up racking up quite a bounty in one of the holds. Paycrime let me get out of trouble once, which really is that goal for the mod - but I think I'm going to just console my bounty back in for now whenever this happens (or turn the mod off, sadly.)

I would alter the mod myself, but I don't know how to mod in the sligthest. There's some other stuff I'd like to see done, as well - using the guard's voice sound files & generic responses would make it MUCH more immersive (same goes for Sexlab Romance), or at the very least being able to edit the exact lines of dialogue for punctuation and so on.

Make it that you have to prostitute around to pay off your debt lol that would be halerious.

 

I'm not sure about that, I doubt the law will allow that. At least, not officially

Yes, exactly my point. I guess that should be the next direction that mod is heading, before adding in the success rate and dialogues and what not.

As long as prostitution is legal (and there's little reason for it not to be in Skyrim), you can tie that in to indentured servitude, a popular punishment in many pre-modern cultures. Think community service gone wild

That could become one of the possible outcome in itself. Instead of turning a blind eye on you for the favor, betraying you and sending you to jail afterward or outright reject your temptation, they could actually punished you by being an indentured prostitutes in the inn.

 

Somehow I feel that this might tie in well with APPS (A Prostitution and Player Slavery mod)

maybe like add an option when PC have a crime and getting belt to pay her bounty, the punishment is depend on how high the bounty is.

 

and add some other belt with other key every holds, the key keep by Jarl or their servant or captain guard. I think it's a good idea.

I can tell you how I solved this problem. Install the prison overhaul mod. Just choose the "go to jail" option and instead of one measly sex act, you get dragged to prison, raped, whipped, thrown in some stocks, raped some more, and eventually released. The rape options might be blocked if you're wearing a ballgag and a belt though.

Vanilla guards have a "not worth my time" dialogue path if you have a really small bounty. It shouldn't be hard to make Paycrime tap into that and not remove your bounty.

This could be the start for corrupt guards they would be different if they caught you then regular guards. tells you to go to this places. where you could meet them again. Then a new quests could start where they try to black mail you. Or else they would put huge bounty on your head.

Yeah I don't believe that all the guards are that high on morality.

 

I actually had another idea where the guards would drag you if you submit to or be defeated by them to the Jarl where the punishment would be decided. Based on how serious your bounty is, you either spent your time in jail, locked in a pillory or stockade to the public's amusement for a few days or enslaved as the Jarl's property.

 

From then on, you might be a courier, prostitute, sex toy or whatever else the Jarl sees fit, in an effort to pay off your bounty. Disobedience might be punish by being given harder tasks with or without a handicap (e.g. shackles that slows you down), spending time in jail with whips and what not or sold off to a slaver who will find you a new owner.

 

Another scenario is to have your character stripped of everything (except important items), restrained and left in the wilderness, either as part of the initial decision by the Jarl or as an alternative to being sold off to a slaver.
