All items that are confiscated as a result of your arrest or jail time will be stored in an evidence chest in the jail of the hold. Any stolen items in your possession will be confiscated and retained by the guards if you are arrested. As long as this tag is present, the item is considered stolen. Stolen items in your inventory will be marked with the word 'Stolen', even if you were able to steal the item without being detected. Even if you were not seen, or there were no witnesses, you may still be targeted.
If you steal or murder, rather than receiving a bounty, you may be targeted by Hired Thugs sent by the victim of the theft or a relative of the deceased. Crime gold does not seem to have an effect upon any NPC interactions with you but it does add the amount of crime gold to your holds bounty Hired Thugs Crime Goldĭropping a weapon in a town may prompt a guard to warn you against doing so, choosing the dialogue options"Yes,but I don't care" and "I'm not paying your bribe" will cause the notification "10 Crime Gold Added" to appear to the top left of the screen. If your side gains a hold controlled by the opposing faction during the Civil War quests, any bounty you have in that hold will be immediately cleared. If no bounty is listed for any holds, then you do not currently have a bounty. See below for the bounty amounts associated with types of crime.Īny bounties you have are listed by hold on the General Stats page, Crime tab, of your journal, above the Total Lifetime Bounty. Consequences of Committing Crimes Bounties Killing all witnesses will be hard in this case, as more guards will usually arrive quickly. Killing guards without receiving a bounty is possible if it is an undetected one-hit kill or with poison, or if you kill all witnesses. If you ask a follower to commit a witnessed crime, you will be held responsible and will receive a bounty. Most NPC pages contain detailed information on their schedules, which can be helpful in planning a burglary or theft. Another good time is middle of the day when most people are either working or wandering around, but be wary of elders or children who may stay at home. Generally, therefore, the best time for burglary is from midnight to 7-8am when everyone is asleep. Elders and children often wander around during the day, but from 8pm to midnight they sit at home and do nothing. Most NPCs leave the home during the day for work from 8am to 8pm, perhaps visit a local tavern, and then go to sleep around midnight. When stealing something from inside a home, knowing the residents' schedules can be valuable. Most living creatures can witness crimes, including horses, farm animals, and hostile bandits. In that case, a message will appear telling you your bounty has been removed. If you are detected, you can still wipe out a bounty if you kill all the witnesses to the crime before they are able to report you. Remaining undetected while committing a crime will allow you to escape punishment. Bounties are set and enforced separately in each hold, so the guards in a given hold will not be concerned with bounties you incurred elsewhere. More serious crimes result in larger bounties for example, the bounty for assault is only 40, while that for murder is 1000. If it is witnessed, committing a crime can result in a number of potential consequences. Transforming into a werewolf or Vampire Lord DG form, or transforming back into your natural form (there will not be a second bounty if you are witnessed transforming both to your beast/vampire lord form and back).Pickpocketing (although looking at someone's inventory without taking anything is not a crime).Murder (if you are attacked first, killing your attacker is not considered murder, unless the attacker is a guard and you are resisting arrest).Feeding on someone as a vampire (considered an assault).Eating a corpse using the Ring of Namira (considered an assault).Disturbing the jarl's peace (results from dropping a weapon in sight of a guard and refusing to pay a 50 gold bribe).Starting a fight with a non-hostile NPC (except a brawl). Red on-screen text attending an action option indicates that performing that action would be a crime. Stolen items will be confiscated from you if you are arrested and jailed, and can be sold only to fences. Red text in inventories indicates that taking the item will be stealing.
