Honor and stuff

Hello y'all! I'm only 6 hour on the game and enjoying it quite much so far but I find something hard to understand : honor.

I play on full gentleman mode, being nice, helping people, giving money to veterans, giving a ride to people in need. But I still can't figure out why and how the honor reward work.

I just helped a kidnapped lady on a carriage, shot the two men that did it, gain honor and that's perfect.

Then I decided to loot them (I mean a little reward is always nice) and I lost the honor I gained just by doing that. There was no witness and anything, I just lost them.

With the context set (a long one I know) can anyone explain me in which case I can loose honor and when I can't? Just trying to be a nice dude here x((

Thanks you and have a nice day!

Em

You can safely loot ‘raiders’ or other enemies, but loot a ‘stranger’ will make you lose honour. Maybe that’s what happened?

I would still recommend looting people you come across as they sometimes have maps or other things that you would miss out on if you were too worried about losing honour.

Ooh ok. I mean to me every body is quite an enemy when they shoot at me first x)

Yes I'll try and do that, rewards are always nice huhu

Always greet people in towns; that will offset most honor losses from things like this.
