Killing Dorf Bandits Not Seeming To Help Rogue Faction

[Jimjam]

Does it give you the faction hit message when the bandits die?

It could be the hit / kill is too low.

Alternatively, perhaps you have a negative modifier for race or deity, meaning you will need to earn 3000 + n faction to break out of scowls (where n is the sum of your negative faction modifiers).

Finally, it may be the case that wiki contains 'incorrect' information on the current in game faction level amounts.
