Does invading vaults and/or assaulting their guards affect alignment? --N8chz

Lying about your name to a guard gives -1 to alignment if you're lawful. I'd assume that attacking the guard would be similar to attacking any other peaceful, but I may be wrong. Lotte 23:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Stealing the gold and getting away with it carries no penalty, but Lotte is right: killing the guard is still murder. --Jayt 22:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

what about naming a lawful charater Croesus at the start of the game?

The lying penalty simply checks whether your stated name is the same as your real name (vault.c#line270). If your name really is "Croesus", saying so doesn't count as a lie, and the guard will still be satisfied (or angry, if the other Croesus is dead). -- Killian 02:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

What happens if you go fetch the gold after having dropped it? Newtkiller 20:52, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

If the guard's still there, he'll get angry after giving you one more warning. If not, as long as he doesn't reappear, nothing. They don't even get angry if they find you in the middle of digging your way in to/out of the vault, only if you pick up gold. -Ion frigate 04:07, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
