While I ' m generally forgiving of the flaws and foibles in Skyrim ' s worldbuilding , the lack of a ' reputation ' style stat really bugs me . It ' s beyond stupid that I can be a Level 50 badass , slayer of Alduin WorldEater , marching around in a wholly unique set of armor . and yet lowlevel bandits will still try to mug me when I ' m taking a stroll around Falkreath a mile from my own lands . There really should be a point where most lowlevel encounters simply don ' t happen , and various NPCs show more respect , based on the player ' s accomplishments . I actually ended up using a multiplecompanion mod to station guards at that one bandit overpass near Lakeview , and effectively claim it for myself . It ' s fun occasionally coming home and seeing them fighting off the bandits that spawn there .
