Silence prevents calling guards

[anthropg]

It seems odd to me that characters that are "silenced" can't use spells but they can still shout for help. I wonder how I would go about making silenced NPCs unable to call guards, while still maintaining compatibility with mods like Supreme Magicka and Reineer's Guard Overhaul.

 

Any advice? Any mods like this out there already? Witty random comments?

You can't, atleast not without interfering with other mods. Honestly never looked into how guards react to NPC calls very much. If possible, would however probably require changes similar to what No Psychic Guards made.

Even if you make them shut up, the guards all have a magical psychic telepathic connection with every civilian in the game. Unless you are completely invisible, anyone you attack will instantly see you (no matter how well you are hidden) and if they do not die on the first shot, then you will have a bounty and every guard in town will come running.

I'll take a look at the changes made by No Psychic Guards. Thanks for the tip.

 

It would be funny if all the guards looked and acted like they had some psychic telepathic link all the time instead of just when responding to crime.

I would suspect that Responsibility is what determines if assaults are reported. So, depending on what happens first, adding a script effect that temporarily reduces responsibility might work. This wouldn't work for custom spells, or spells added by other mods, of course.
