ell46 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I want to get the 'butcher' quest in Windhelm, but apparently I've got a bounty on me and I've no idea what I'm supposed to have done, or where or how to pay it off. The guards won't talk about anything else but this stupid bounty, I tried the bribe option that didn't work, the next guard wanted a bribe as well and I'm not playing that game. This is the second time I've had a bounty on me the first was in Riverwood and I know for a fact I didn't do anything, it was the start of the game and I was being all saintly at the time, does this game cheat or what :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvinkun Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) You stole something by accident, for example. Some flowers count as "owned" and harvesting them counts as stealing. Or you kicked a chicken. Shouted on someone. ... Countless options. Just pay the bounty? The game sure acts weird with bounties and witnesses, got bounty for goat seeing me steal, got bounty for killing a lone guy in the middle of nowhere, but never got bounty for nothing.

dickban Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Try entering the town with your weapons up, when they start attacking you, press R and they should give you the option of going to jail, paying the bounty or die. @elvinkunSometimes they bounty message will pop up, but is followed by a message that says bounty removed due to last witness killed. Many times i have also thought i got a bounty for killing some guy in the wilderness, but has always been removed as long as there is no one running and screaming from ths site.

I think it's an actuall glitch... For example, each time I kill Thalmor in Whiterun hold, I get "bounty removed, last witness killed", but the next time I enter Dragonsreach (no problem in the city tho), everyone attacks me without a word. Only way to solve it is to reload, do some crime, pay it off... It's like sometimes the "murder" kicks in even if you have a bounty "0" and won't go away untill you commit and pay off any crime. Happened to me many times, always in Whiterun only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ell46 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks I'll try the commit a crime pay it off and see if that works. I think it should say somewhere what crime you committed, either in the journal or the stats at least then you would know for sure if it's a glitch/bug or you really did kick that chicken you walked over.
