No matter where you go, people are afraid of you due to your reputation. When you are in a civilized settlement, you can get away with minor criminal offenses, such as refusing to pay for food at a tavern or breaking down doors at a local shop, since most people will not report your activity to the authorities. However, your infamy can also attract unwanted attention sometimes, especially from authorities who might want to see you pay for your past misdeeds.
