He's alone in his tower...how does the mages guild know i was the one who killed him? Please tell me theres a mod that removes psychic factions kicking you out.

Magic. Thats how they know.

Disturbance in the Force.

Or my theory is that they had a Crystal Ball enchanted as a spy-bug, and were watching it all go down.

You don't have to kill him to complete the quest !

My guess too

The Mages Guild has spies everywhere. Just go kill 20 bears and they’ll let you back into the Guild.

So is there a mod that makes factions non-psychic?

As stated, you don't have to kill him. If you're high enough in the Guild, or were, eh, often he'll let you take the key without saying anything. I confess, I put on chameleon and just take it.

YOu can't steal from or kill any member of the mages guild if your'e a member.

There is a way to get back in...

The worst for me is when you kill someone and only a horse is there and the murder is reported- horses know things. Least that used to happen, was it fixed? Dont' know.

I know you dont have to kill him, i just dislike psychic factions.

(just found this completely by accident, and remembered this thread)

Ah nice. Thanks for the link, gonna try that out.

When next ye rebuild your Bashed Patch, go to Tweak Actors and select Irresponsible Creatures. (If it's the first time you have selected anything within Tweak Actors make sure it too is selected.) Irresponsible Creatures offers two options, either "All Creatures" or "Only Horses". I quote: "Sets responsibility to 0 so they can't report your crimes."
