Hello, I always thought it was annoying and strange that bandits simply tried to kill you all of the time. How about a mod that turns them into regular NPCs that when spotted will approach you and start a dialogue. They will do things like ask for money, maybe all of your money, make you drop your weapon or gear and they will steal it, maybe they will kidnap you and lock you up, or do that to one of your companions. Maybe if you're at a certain point in the storyline they will recognize that you're a badass they don't want to mess with and will simply let you go on your way. Depending on the location they could have different interactions. If you approach one of their secluded forts they would simply attack on site, maybe if they're blocking a path they would charge a fee to let you through. I think it would make the game a lot more immersive, I can tell you if 10 bandits set an ambush and then told me they wanted all of my money and gear and I couldn't defeat them, I'd have a vendetta out for some revenge when I got stronger. Or if they kidnapped a companion, I'd go gather all of my friends and assault their base to free them.
