Is there anyway to counteract Thug faction? I have -5000 thug faction and I'd like to do a few quests that deal with Thug Faction. The very first one is escorting someone who's surrounded by Thug NPC's and the escortee is also a thug. So when you try to escort the person you get attacked and end up killing the person you need to take. Thus negating the quest.
Any ideas on what to hunt, who to see for quests or anything else to undo -5000 Thug faction?
