Pay to wipe sins?

[Dysbro]

If I go to the box and there is a certain amount of money, does that mean in some other city I was caught commiting a crime and they are looking for me? Or will there be a certain summ even if I didn't get caught or seen by anyone?

I did some mischief in my game, got caught and got punished, it started at 70... after messing around and guards catching me with stolen goods (couple times) it went up to 650, after that i robbed the whole town undetected and the next morning i got branded a thief and my price went up to 1350🤣, my reputation is 90+ across the board... but idk if i even want to pay it even though money is easy to make

so the price rises even if you get caught and manage to persuade the guards that it wasn't you? By lets say pretending to be a noble man (charisma check) or something? So you don't have to go to prison but still go to church and pay there?

all it does is improve your reputation in the area.

I haven't researched it, but I assume it just wipes out the negative opionions. Even if you talk your way out the NPCs that caught you will still have a bad opionion of you. Which makes sense as they saw you with their own eyes and don't care what you say.

Though even when I had a few thousand groschen on the indulgence box I was still at 100 in the area...so I don't know if you actually get anything out of paying it.

Yes, cause of reputation taking the hit.

Note how every time you pass one of those checks against a guard, it also notes a loss of reputation in upper right of screen.

In fact, taking your punishment in the pilllory for the lesser things, may hurt your reputation less than talking your way out.
