How am I supposed to raise reputation with soldiers?

After going to Jail for pickpocketing, every single soldier in Rattay is hostile and constantly wants to fight me. My reputation with everyone else is fine but soldiers are on -70. I can’t really enter there anymore unless I avoid soldiers with a WIDE berth.

How can I raise reputation with them? As a side note, how do I give money to beggars? They have no conversational option and my only interaction choices are “Talk” and “Pickpocket”.

Help :frowning:

if you have a previous save, do that, because reputation resets very slowly in the game
the way you improve your reputation is by either doing quests, killing or sparing bandits
haggling with merchants and giving them MORE money over the goods you sell/buy

but otherwise you’re pretty much fucked, personally should commit crimes outside of Rattay/Talmberg
or simply don’t get caught
and pickpocketing is trash, stick to lockpicking and raise your skills with that

Had a quest for the Skallitz refugees to steal money from Rattay residents. It was ages ago around 7h back that I have a save from there, I didn’t get arrested for it for a long time because I was out doing quests and stuff.

Do you know how to give money to beggars, though?
