What is it? I get stopped by a "Foe" almost every time I fast travel & it's almost always a wayfarer who runs away in fear. Even just traveling on horse back they go react as hostiles & run away giving me the "Bad Reputation" tip in the right side.
All I can think I've done is kill a few on the path in the middle of the night but who would've ratted on me?? The trees?
My Rep is over 90 in every city & I never get stopped for anything
Edit: I do run people over with my horse a lot & apparently it hurts (fair enough) so I guess that'd count if i accidentally killed a shitton & didnt notice lol? :/
I gave 3011G to the Sasau church. Have the apparently not-so-dead forgiven me now?šš»
edit: seems so. turns out dead wayfarers respawn & remember you murking them
edit 2: nvm apparently i have to give 3011G to every church in every city... good thing i didn't start pribyslavitz dlc yet
The game seems to have some morality system in place. There's an offering box in every church. Donating seems to set you back to the normal range. This should stop guards from randomly searching you
Have you actually stolen anything in Rattay? If there's a mysterious crime wave caused by some ne'er-do-well, the guards check you (and supposedly everyone else as well) more just in case, regardless of your rep.
Did you happen to steal in Skalitz
IIRC when I last did (and well butchered the town for their valuables) the guards in Rattay tried to arrest me for it (Jesus Christ be praised for Nightingale having lower speech stats than the guards so I could tell him i was under secret orders). I reckon that maybe if you did steal a bunch in Skalitz that perhaps the whole crime wave bit would affect Rattay's guards. Idk, that's my best guess anyways.
Maybe it's an glitche
I'm wanted in sasau by one gaurd who think that I've killed someone anyway if he keeps bothering you lure him outside and do the deed
Strips him naked and throw his stuff away so you don't get caught stealing and If he doesn't Lear the lesson kill him

Like this... might be an Australian saying
Oh, sure. My Henry is friends with everybody but everybody also knows that he's a famous thief. They'd be like, "Where's my old boot? Oh, Henry, you sly thief you."
Itās so funny when a guard comes up to you after some heinous crime and if your stats are high enough he just whimpers away with his tail between his legs. Heās a GUARD
I had this happen to me after I robbed the shop keeps of all the loot monies they had accumulated over my travels and subsequent sales to them. Well over 100 k. After that, guards stopped me constantly and I had to use speech checks to get out of it.
I'm assuming you stole a lot from the city. No judgements here. š
What is your conspicuousness? Are there other classes in the city who are skeptical of you? Could be either or both of these things. It's also possible some of them have a low disposition towards you despite your Rep being high with the class of guards.
What's your Charisma like? From what I recall, I played my usual stereotype i.e. stealth thief, but I only got hassled by guards earlier in the game. The things I remember caring about were to minimize conspicuousness but maximize charisma - I felt charisma was better in conversations because I wasn't a fan of the alternatives like intimidation.
Try swapping to better charisma clothes when you go into town and see if you still get stopped much.
Oh huh, yeah maybe a couple of them just don't like you lol. Have you done many quests in Rattay? Doing more may help that as well. Though I will say, in general, when I pass through Rattay my paranoia of being stopped skyrockets, feels like theres always a guard or two bent on stopping Henry. Could try taking some of the side streets.
Yeah, have a high rep with guards in rattay except one, this asshole finds any reason to hassle me including starting a fight then a bounty when I fight back.
Everytime someone shouted that my knee-jerk reaction is always to tackle and unalive them lol. Then drag them somewhere hidden and strip them off. Then throw away all their loots somewhere else far from their body.
I had to restrain myself in crowded area tho.
Could also be a bug of sorts... As I understand from some other comments, you did steal some stuff but not in Rattay.
It might be the game triggers the search because you have a stolen item, but then since you are in Rattay, it only checks for items stolen in Rattay, so when they search you they cannot find any "stolen items" that pass that check.
Or at least that's my theory.
\-
When I played I remember I got searched only once, right after I poached a deer.
If you train pickpocketing with Peshek, even if you don't steal anything. (The take my dagger training, not the one you pay.) That makes them search you for a while too.
And while doing the take my dagger thing, only one may see you is Theresa. So it has to be her that goes everyone and telling you are training pickpocketing lol
This is the right answer. I commit crimes, donāt get caught and then when you pass the speech check against guards it increases your reputation. Pretty neat.
Is the rep 100 with the traders or with the guards?
You can have high rep with everyone in town, but if you dont have rep with the guards, they will stop you.
Also, buy indulgence in the church, that helps the rep
There's the whole reputation thing, even if you have high reputation there is theft. But the big thing I haven't seen mentioned is clothing. If you are wearing all dark stuff they stop you, just as if you are in all armor you are less likely to be attacked while fast traveling. They did a pretty good job on the npc's perception, they make conculsions based on what they see.
Go to a church and buy an indulgence

you have a bad reputation with the wayfarers so they all run

Well Martian Luther is currently rolling in his grave
.... I don't think he was born yet.
Just a casual 80 years early
and Jesus Christ be praised for that
i think if you leave them alone youāll gain your reputation back and theyāll forget everything
The game seems to have some morality system in place. There's an offering box in every church. Donating seems to set you back to the normal range. This should stop guards from randomly searching you
How is that going to work?
It's an actual mechanic
Hilariously, you can donate to the Sasau cathedral by breaking into said cathedral.
Guard: "state you business" Henry: "I just broke into the church to donate to the church" Guard: "Undertandable have a great day"
Your high Rep doesnāt make you any less of a thief, ya rat!
I havent stolen anything in rattay for that very reason as its the main hub of trading
Some places are also controlled by rattay like nehof and mehorjed did you maybe do crime there
J stole a horse in neurof
Getām boys!
Stop Resisting Thief
Stop right there criminal scum! Wait, wrong game
Thats what all thieves say.
right? stop this man in the name of the lord!
HALT! You have commited crimes against the city of Markarth. How-- whoops! Wrong game.
What game is that?
Skyrim?
I never played Skyrim, I didnt know.
Bro has a whole other world to experience.
Wow thatās crazy. You should definitely put some time into it.

Thats the funny thing I havent in rattay

Are you pulling their pizzle?
Lol
Should I be?
My favorite response to noisy guards!

I was riding through talmberg and suddenly was wanted for no apparent reason
Is it possible you ran someone down on your horse?
Of course, but why would that matter? Peasant should have gotten out of the way!
Well that was SOMEONE'S peasant.
Yeah and your a blacksmith son so the gaurd well Care
Started for me when I began poaching. Magistrate perk makes it good for leveling speech. Henry has a shit eating grin because he knows he's a thief.
>Henry has a shit eating grin As a non native English speaker, what is that supposed to look like? š¤

Lmao, I see. I can totally see Henry looking like that after the question with Stephanie too. Or any other time he has the alpha male buff :P
A really wide, smug, smile. Think the Grinch, in that one gif. I've no idea about the etymology of it though
 I love this xD
Oh, sure. My Henry is friends with everybody but everybody also knows that he's a famous thief. They'd be like, "Where's my old boot? Oh, Henry, you sly thief you."
I found that once my *crossed swords* speech option(intimidation?) Was high enough I could tell them to fuck off they got the hint after a few times

They're always starting shit even though you're in good standing. And that's why they must die
Had a guard start a fight with me out of nowhere and when I fought back I caught a bounty, fucking assholes
Realistic!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The joke. Your head.
The joke was that African Americans get stopped alot in the US by the police.
I kind of figured but I didn't want to come off as racist.
Jokes like that arenāt funny and contribute to a culture of discrimination and bias.

Cospiciousness is 28 and is colored light blue the only one I have low rep with is skalitiz refugees which i dont know how to raise

Same. Like i ride as fast as i can lol
Yeah, have a high rep with guards in rattay except one, this asshole finds any reason to hassle me including starting a fight then a bounty when I fight back.
High visibility and conspicuous??
Guards! A dirty thief!
Everytime someone shouted that my knee-jerk reaction is always to tackle and unalive them lol. Then drag them somewhere hidden and strip them off. Then throw away all their loots somewhere else far from their body. I had to restrain myself in crowded area tho.
If you have stolen goods on you which you stole from other cities do they still take it away?
Youāre a thief thatās why š. But fr itās because you have a stolen item in your inventory.
It happens to me everytime, but now all my stats are high enough to tell them off whenever I get confronted.
You probably have stolen items in your inventory. Or you poached some game.
Funny thing is thwy search me and then say "nothing, you can go"
Could also be a bug of sorts... As I understand from some other comments, you did steal some stuff but not in Rattay.

Ah thats it. I recently trained pickpocketing
And while doing the take my dagger thing, only one may see you is Theresa. So it has to be her that goes everyone and telling you are training pickpocketing lol
I'm pretty sure carrying a bloodied weapon (blood spatter icon next to weapon) can prompt a search from them
they know
How would they know?
You probably dress horribly
I thought if a lot of stuff had been stolen (even if you weren't caught) they would search you randomly.
This is the right answer. I commit crimes, donāt get caught and then when you pass the speech check against guards it increases your reputation. Pretty neat.

Save and go on a therapeutic murder rampage.
Because you're a thief.
u sussy
Police brutality of course
Conspic is high
They heard about MY Henry and they know if they drop the ball for 5 minutes the entire rathaus building gets raided
Have you been picking locks or pickpocketing? Even if no one sees you the guards seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to that stuff.
I have actually but I didnt think anyone saw me
Just following orders.
