SSE CrimeFactionsList

[Wolfstorm]

I searched for information regarding this form list, but didnt find any, so I'm asking here.

I'm setting a new guard faction. For this intent I found it better to just copy the Whiterun guard faction and make some adjustments.

It come to my attention that all guard factions share this CrimeFactionsList. Does this mean that the bounty will be shared across holds? I mean, if there is faction A and faction B on this same "shared crime faction list", then why in the game I only get a bounty for a specific hold, and not all of them? Is it mandatory to use this list, or can I use another list of my own?

The CrimeFactionsList is a FormList, which holds all available crime faction in a database. Imho formLists are only used for papyrus scripting.

 

FAQ: Does this mean that the bounty will be shared across holds?

No.

Depends on where do you want to use the list and what is your aim of modding.

You tell us, that you have created a new guard faction. So I assume you like to add this new faction to the vanilla formlist.

I do not think it is necessary to make adding a new crime faction into the list.

 

FAQ: if there is faction A and faction B on this same "shared crime faction list", then why in the game I only get a bounty for a specific hold, and not all of them?

Why? Every guard is a NPC (NonPlayerCharacter) that is using packages to simulate a night and day cycle (sleeping, waiting, eating, fighting).

And also a guard is only reacting to the crime (which player made) that was assigned to NPCs slot "CRIF - CrimeFaction" (recognized by using TES5Edit).
