Npc conversation thread #1 Options

Hail citizen. How can I be of service?

Not really a conversation and more of an interaction, but I watched a guy named Shameer go into sneak mode and try to pick pocket the Altmer stable hand outside of Skingrad. The Altmer guy caught him, and a guard came and attacked Shameer. Eventually Shameer took enough of a beating and ran off into the city with guard and Altmer guy in hot pursuit. I followed them and when I entered the city, they were all just standing there like nothing was wrong. Shameer tried to talk to the Altmer guy, but the elf just made angry comment and the conversation ended.

Good one! That's really too much!

(Seriously, Shameer is lucky he didn't end up pwned on the ground!)

Ok so all of the NPCs in Skingrad are saying to my character “There’s no need to be that way. Goodbye.” upon exiting conversation with them. I’ve never heard them do this before. Everybody I’ve talked to I’ve raised their disposition so it’s not because they have a low disposition towards us. Is this a bug or just something quirky about NPCs in Skingrad? Anybody know?

*edit* Well it seems to have worked itself out. They aren’t doing it anymore. Weird. Oblivion NPCs, am I right? Lol

Low disposition. But it is quite far down the dialogue tree, so it doesn't take effect immediately upon raising their disposition. So it makes sense that it took a little while to settle. I guess they just didn't like you very much in Skingrad for some reason...

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Low disposition.

I wondered about that, but *most* everyone I talked to had middling disposition when first talking to them. Then I tried to recreate the comment by wearing the same outfit Brenna had on when she first arrived in Skingrad (which consisted of a fur cuirass, coarse linen skirt, iron gauntlets/bracers, fur boots and a couple of bronze rings, one pearl, one topaz. Their exit farewell was normal. Just not sure. We did talk to an orc guy who called us “Breton trash”, so you know, absolutely normal Orc/Breton interaction, lol

Outfit has no impact on disposition in Oblivion. It's your factions, your fame and infamy, your bounty and your race, of course. Also, if you are diseased, and in particular if you are a vampire. Your alternative start mod (Arrive by Ship) could have assigned you some properties that meddled with that.

Oh ok, I thought I remembered reading something about individual clothing items having a stat that adds a number to an overall sort of “well dressed” hidden stat that NPCs check and would address you differently based on how high or low this “well dressed” stat was. I could have it confused with another game or just pulled it right out of my crazy head!

I thought that Morrowind did it that way, but not Oblivion. Or at least, Oblivion does it to a much smaller degree, if it does it at all. I never noticed any difference what-so-ever based on clothes. But this is the bit coded inside the engine, so we can't just look it up!

I tried looking it up but couldn’t find anything about it. I’m gonna say I just made that up and convinced myself it was a thing, lol
