Bounty heads?

Anyone ever found it rather convenient that, when you report to the Steward and say that you killed the bandit with the bounty on their heads, the Steward just... takes your word for it that he's dead, and hands you the precious taxpayer money, no questions asked

 

Sure, the game won't let you claim that he's dead if he isn't, but your character, in-game, doesn't know that.

 

Perhaps there could be a mod where, for every bounty quest except dragon, when you kill them, a misc. item called "Bandit Head" (which would look exactly like the face of the bandit you just slew) would spawn on their corpse, much like Adamus' finger in Oblivion. To claim your reward, you must take that head from their corpse (which causes the corpse to switch to "dedapitated" mode, if it wasn't already, and causes the "head" portion of the corpse to disappear, even if the corpse already was decapitated) and present it to the steward as proof of the deed.

 

Now, with dragons, bringing a dragon head is a little impractical, right? Well, imagine if you COULD lie about the dragon being dead, and you would get your reward, but if the dragon is not slain within 48 in-game hours, the guard will realize that you lied to them, and place a bounty on your head three times the reward you got. Yeah... if you haven't killed the dragon yet, you'd best get right on that.

 

This would be lore-friendly, since unlike a bandit or forsworn (who can just lay low for a while), it's kind of hard for the guards to miss a dragon.

 

Any takers?

Another thing that bugs me is that they pay you only 100 for a whole group of bandits. while you'd still only be thrown into jail with even 1k bounty. would 100 REALLY be worth having them killed? there should also be an option to have them surrender, tie them up and drag them to the cells. just an idea :)

The 100-gold petty reward issue has already been taken care of:

Actually 100 septims is a lot of money in Skyrim. The dragonborn is simply overpowered and rich because he slays countless enemies. Regular people in Skyrim don't have the luxury of being able to go into a bandit stronghold solo and come out victorious with huge amounts of loot to sell.
