There is a command that lets you set ownership of items to the Player faction, but I can′t find one that lets you place yourself in another faction than the Player faction. Sorry :shrug:

Ah, Blast! Oh well, guess I'll just have to roleplay that the campers smell funny and my Dunmer doesn't want to get to close to them.

What you ask is possible. Buffy and her mare, Superian both belong to the KOTN predators faction (NDPredators) courtesy of the command console. This means that natural predators of the forest do not attack either of them.

Here is the command and some info on its use: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Console_Command_Tutorial#Player.SetFactionRank_BaseID_.23

You will need to know the name of the faction (UESP can help). You can use the command on your character or an NPC (or your horse like we did).

You will also need to know the load order of you SI DLC which is dependent on the order in which you installed it. I used Wrye Bash to figure out what my KOTN load order prefix is.

You're most welcome. I found that sometimes, a faction membership that I set by the console will be gone/undone after I save the game and come back to play later. So, I used the command saveini after I had the faction assignments how I wanted them and that solved the concern.

You can do a great deat of RP by fooling with the factions on console. Joining one of the goblin tribes for example. Joining someone's house faction as another example. :foodndrink:

And don't forget the Bandit/Marauder Faction.
And with companion Mods, it is awesome, I had a crew of about 4 bandits storm the IC, we lost pretty early on(Damn guards swarmed us) but it was awesome.
