Bounties: Side Effects?

[Kapten Teo]

Hello!

 

I've played around 40 hours and I've up until now approached and dealt with bounties the same way I did in Pillars 1 and never thought twice about any possible repercussions. This might have been naïve of me, as I've realized now that maybe it's not just murderers or other criminals you're sent after, as they often belong to one of Deadfire's many factions. For instance, captains sailing for either the VTC, RDC, Príncipi, or Huana.

 

Aside from holistic role-playing, is there any reason or incentive to decline certain bounties, or are the bounties practically a free-for-all?

I have seen no effects of doing bounties whatsoever, so I assume they are free for all.

In general once I upgraded my ship enough I just took down every damn named ship on the seas except VTC ships then went and collected my bounties wholesale-- once I even found the quest NPC. Lol

 

"Find the-"

"Got him."

"Great! Now there's-"

"Yeah he's dead too."

 

And on and on.

 

Dudes must think I'm the most efficient bounty hunter ever

Alright, thanks for the input.

There was one bounty quest giver I noticed that Serafen really didn’t like when I accepted a quest from them. Apparently hunting for other pirates made him displeased.
