My barovian character receives the same messages as an outlander from local NPCs.
NPC patrons in the Broken Bells upon initiating a conversation practically telling him to get out, as he is not welcome there. He has 9 charisma, not so terrible OCR, but he is not better treated than the worst outlander scum.
Guards give him the very same *suspicious look*, *grunts* , *I'm watching you* messages.
His faction is Commoners, so doubt it is a faction problem.
Would be nice, if the native NPCs would not be so rude to their fellow countrymen.
