I read the ReadMe file in the 'Children of Morrowind' plug-in, and
apparently the mod actually addresses the point. Vvardenfell is apparently
so dangerous that all children wear amulets enchanted with the recall
spell. If a child is attacked, he or she teleports away immediately, and
guards from a half-mile around come to kill you (or charge you an
exorbitant fine.)
Well, that addresses the first point and not so much the second. But even
in the most peaceful of societies, there are laws on the books that make
acts performed in self-defense perfectly legal. It's just like the old
westerns; your hat stays white as long as you didn't shoot first.
-KKC, wonders if there's a 'whole world' mod for Morrowind that changes
all the clothes and scenery to a more modern setting...
