Mandatory Starfield mod for criminals makes piracy “much more viable as a career” with improved rewards system

Star field gives players the opportunity to start a new life in the vast darkness of space, but When it comes to being a notorious criminal, the rewards system needs some improvements. It can be difficult to become a deadly pirate or assassin when it’s so easy for NPCs to witness crimes: Star fieldThe standard bounty mechanic is triggered if any NPC witnesses a crime and remains alive for more than 30 seconds. This can be difficult when dealing with groups, which is why this mod is so useful.

Posted on Nexus Mods by creator EgoBallistic, the “Leave No Witnesses” mod improves the rewards system by eliminating the 30-second timer attached to witnesses. This means that anyone who witnesses the player committing a crime can be eliminated during an encounter, making it difficult to place bounties. As long as no witnesses are left alive, NPCs cannot report to authorities, making a life of crime more viable as a career.

As long as no one talks…

Writing about the benefits of the mod, EgoBallistic notes that the add-on should make piracy much easier, as players can “avoid the huge rewards of destroying ships“ if they manage to kill all the crew members. The mod effectively generates a list of witnesses that will persist until the bounty is released or they are killed, making the user’s actions much more impactful. It’s a small adjustment, but one that will likely have a big impact on how players interact with the various factions in the game. Star field.

The way rewards are handled Star field has been plaguing the game’s community since it was released given that the speed with which factions are notified of a crime seems to go against other mechanics. A common complaint is that a group like the United Colonies can apparently be notified by radio or instant message that a bounty has been placed on the player, but users cannot use the same technology to speak to quest creators remotely. Given how easily players become criminals (accidentally stealing a pen can be disastrous), the system seems poorly designed.

Starfield rewards can be frustrating

Making them more realistic is great

I generally play Bethesda games as a law-abiding adventurer, but the few times I got a reward in Star field were frustrating. Given how quickly enemies are notified of a transgression, it’s great to have a mod that at least gives players a chance to avoid the hassle of dealing with the authorities. Maybe now is the time for me to really commit to a full pirate game.
