SecretStash Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Despite having completed the DB storyline, I've yet to kill someone with the guards magically hearing about it and coming after me sooner or later. I've tried killing out of line-of-sight of anyone except my target. Killing with different weapons, killing while hidden and not hidden, even following people into rooms and closing the doors behind us. Sometimes I'd kill from hidden, in one hit, and the bounty would appear, shortly followed by the "all witnesses killed" message and the bounty lifted. I'd be able to walk about the city just fine, but then I'll travel away and return and suddenly the guards are on to me. What am I doing wrong?

kok327 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 If theres no one nearby to hear anything, you one-hit your target, and there were no witnesses, it is probably a glitch if you still get a bounty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarefootWarrior Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Heh, don't feel bad, I am not good at stealth either and I have tried many times. I just go for the direct approach now. But usually when no one else is around if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperTheLich Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 when guards catchup with you later is the bounty 1000g? if not it could be that someone saw you committing B&E or some other crime later on. i was caught for trespassing upon exiting houses (well not caught exactly).

Beriallord Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Sneak bow kills are much easier to pull off without anyone noticing, and you don't need a lot of sneak skill for that. Every DB mark I could take out with a bow I did. I wasn't even skilled in archery, I just crafted a Daedric bow and it still 1hkos most NPCs.

Moredhel Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I really had some silly stuff going on just yet... Goldenglow Estate. Midnight. I'm an assassin. All the guards outside saw me. All the guards inside the house stood less than an inch away from me, looking me straight in the eye and said "is someone there? You can't hide from me!" :hurr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretStash Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Oh good, so I don't just suck, the AI is just screwy. I shared all of these scenarios in common with you guys. I'm thinking I got away Scott free and can even rub elbows with the guards, but come back later and they're demanding I pay 1000+ for my crimes.

Tardivex Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Did you have a bounty already? Yeah I know this is kida dumb but if you got a bounty already and the guards are like "By the order of the Jarl.." and you "I'd rather die than go to prision" and kill them all, you will get the last witness killed and bounty from those guards/people removed, but you still got your initial bounty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekrafilia Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I got sick of the damned lunatic preaching in Whiterun so broke into his house and one shotted him while he slept. The guards still noticed. So I killed them. And then had to kill lots of other people.Didn't matter how I tried to kill him, the Whiterun guards somehow always know. What I do find annoying with sneak is quite often your allies (even your horse) will show you up as detected when you aren't to the enemy. Makes it kind of confusing sometimes.It's always ok with just my follower, but can bug out with a temporary follower and is worse with two of them on a mission.
