I voted other idea because I would dole out death for some crimes, and slavery for others. I won't have them just sit on their butt in a cell, they will do something for the settlement and just not get paid for it. They earn their way back into our good graces. If it is a serious crime, kill 'em. And the execution will happen in the public square.

I for one really hope their are slave collars in FO4. I loved capturing idiots and low lifes and sending them to the slaver camps.

The lawbreakers would get expelled or killed.

If I am forced to jail them, they will be put to work and not fed. In short, they will not be around much longer anyway. I simply refuse to expend resources guarding them and keeping them alive.

I'd varry my punishment with the crime and who did it.

Say someone attacks the town, they'd be killed.

Or someone runs up a debt in the bar, they will be put to work.

Gets drunk and trashes the bar they'd be equipped with scrap and sent in to clear out the deathclaws!

I wouldn't use the word "slavery", more like "labor camp" or "community service"

There are a few factors here for me. If you can have a protective settlement or a Bandit/Slaver settlement then I'd hope that you can opt to have a law system or not. If there's just a protective settlement for people to find sanctuary then it'd be nice to have a law system where you have a few options for punishment if someone was caught doing something bad. Like jail, exile, execution, etc.

i think we will prob see stuff like this in mods
