stimpynexus Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi Guys, So I did the quest a while ago where you are approached by guards that give you crap about being suspicious or whatevr... The you get arrested and go to Cidna mine... ok cool... then you talk to this Malacath dude and help him and his buddies the "Forlorn" escape. So you go into the city and pwn some guards and make the escape. ok cool. quest completed apparently. Problem is... I have a major bounty for helping those n00b forlorn dudes and I can't pay it off and I can't even go to jail even if I tell the guards to take me to jail... After I tell them to take me to jail, the dialog option "so what's the problem" just pops up again and the conversation starts over. <--bug The only thing that I can do is fight them... which I don't want to do... a whole city of dead guards kindof spoil it for me. Is there a console command that I can execute so that my bounty is cleared and the guards can leave me the F alone? :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmig Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) After you've used the console to target a guard, enter the command paycrimegold Hi,I just managed to get out of that bug... not sure the exact reason why...I try various things such as:1) going back in the silver mine after the forsworn quest was over and come back all the way... (no noticeable change)2) then get out from Markarth through the entrance door and run to avoid the guards outside (my companion stay behind and fight them) and then encounter an guard (archer) near the farm outside Markarth, killed him 3) +1000 bounty message displayed4) and then I tried paycrimegold.. and this time it works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried this multiple times in Markarth before and it never works... 5) I was transported to the entrance of the mine and all the guards ignore me... and btw ... it seems I have not loose any money :thumbsup: I tried to reproduce it doing exactly step 2,3,4 and it does not work again.It seems that paycrimegold under some circumstances is working to clear the bug ... I have been lucky this time... :tongue: In addition, after that... as soon as I commit a new crime in Markarth (even a minor one), the bug repeat itself.

QueenOfThieves Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 My husband's having the same issue. Unfortunately it's on the XBox, so no convenient counsel commands for us. Any suggestions as to how to fix this on the XBox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions as to how to fix this on the XBox? If all else fails, you can go back to a previous save, or failing that a new game and on your next play through, don't do it.

MafiaInferno Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I had this same problem and have solved it. Dont try talking to any of the guards in or around markath, enter the city and head straight for understone keep. The guards in there will let you pay off your bounty.

QueenOfThieves Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Thanks, I think we figured it out. For the record, the Shrine of Talos also works to get past the glitch. Perhaps any building with guards in will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
