makes 14 edits to factions, here they are in a nutshell:.

The different factions in Skyrim fight each other in much the same way as they do in Vanilla (minimal change), minus a lot of random animal slaughter. Now if you set the aggro slider to something less murderous, the result will be that the enemy NPCs just stand around, since their AI has no idea who their enemies are. This makes a NPC want to murder anything not directly allied to its faction, and from there it's a crapshoot as to what the AI actually decides to target. These things happen because Bethesda set the aggro slider to 'very aggressive' on generic bandits and other enemies instead of bothering with the faction system the game has. It takes an epic moment and turns it into a farce.

It's funny/annoying and I got tired of it. Sometimes the rest of the bandits join in and we form a merry Benny Hill conga line on the tundra. and suddenly the lead bandit decides that deer on a faraway hill must die. Picture it: you're coming up to a bandit fort with your weapon drawn, the bandits stream out, you close for the fight.
