After the “cloning” bug is fixed, the next slated improvement for the NPC expanded feature is the option to turn them over to the local authorities for a reputation boost with that town.

Trying to make that system modular right now is going to be incredibly tough and involve rewriting half of that feature and creating dummy holds for the base mod for the features they pull from it, and most of the mod’s features tie together in some way. Hopefully that new option will address some of your concerns with the system!

Thank you very much for the response!

I really like this idea of turning captured bandit to authority for a reputation boost rather than turning them for a profit through selling of fulfilling a job order at slaver's guild. Add an extra layer of role playing a lawful alignment in addition to good/evil which is pretty lacking in base Strife.

That being said... hope reputation would matter more in future update, since beside Maple's optional recruitment quest it doesn't matter in base Strife, which make the entire system pretty pointless (and way too easy to farm in base Strive by keep beating up bandit who try to bully travelers). Maybe have it tie back to the town upgrade system in someways you planned to work on in the future if you haven't planned this already?

I appreciate the feedback! Per v.07, Reputation can be spent to "acquire" prisoners that have been captured and are pending execution (via: Gathering in the Town Square > Hold Execution > Either Option (one uses gold, the other uses rep, both require Reputation > 0).

I do plan on having a myriad of uses for it in the future as well, including being able to affect the town's laws/rules to suit your playstyle (ie: a good town, cruel town, perverted town, etc).
