November 7, 2025Nov 7 Fairly simple idea. Basics When we wear faction armor and head items, the player should be able to walk amongst that faction while in private property or areas where those NPCs are normally hostile. The player will still accrue a form of detection when being observed, but it will be slower, and instead of causing hostility it will require the player to bribe or fool the NPC with a Speech check. Higher ranking enemies will require higher speech and larger bribes. Speech challenge level can be negated or increased based on uniform (e.g officer vs. soldier NPC, officer vs. officer NPC, etc). Having faction enemies in your party will increase the challenge of Speech checks. Likewise, disguise level can negate or increase detection based on the type/rank of an NPC. Stealing items will immediately prompt an observing faction NPC to question you and possibly remove the stolen item from your inventory to theirs. Note this isn't meant to stack mechanically with standard stealth detection, and is meant to allow the player to blend in if they have low Stealth, and/or also high enough Speech. Stretch Goals! Certain quests could be revamped to allow more options and resolutions which incorporate the use of disguises. Perks or perk changes to improve the effectiveness of disguises.
