vertikal Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 So, I'm at that inn in Iverstead, in Imperial controlled Riften (post Civil War). I go to sleep unsuspecting, but when I wake up, a Stormcloak patrol has found me, and want to collect on my Stormcloak bounty. When I refuse, I get a Riften bounty added simply for defending myself. Soon after a few ordinary NPCs join the browl too. I wouldn't mind all this, if not for the Riften bounty. Some disgruntled Ulfric supporters just adds to the charm... However the Riften bounty makes the Imperial soldiers outside hostile as well, and for what?! Killing Stormcloak rebels, who btw attacked me first? That just annoying... Never played the Civil War quest before, so I wonder: Is this how it works, is it really this dumb, or have I somehow messed things up with some mod or another?!

wfandrews Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Do you mean after you completed the Civil War quest? I am assuming that you took the Imperial side in the Civil War if Riften is Imperial controlled. Sounds to me like that is mod related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simtam Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 My bet is on mod adding the whole "Stormcloak bounty" thing. Vanilla random encounters don't happen after waking up like if it was some old Morrowind DLC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, since half the mods on nexus exist for the sole sake of fixing annoying things (small and big), I just wanted to check first if this was one of those flawed vanilla things... My bet is on mod adding the whole "Stormcloak bounty" thing. Vanilla random encounters don't happen after waking up like if it was some old Morrowind DLC...I don't use that mod, but it might perhaps be "Populated Skyrim Civil War". It might be some other mod, but will take some time to figure out. Perhaps best to just move on :tongue: The patrol wasn't quite "on me" from the moment I woke up; they just happened to be at the inn. They made their move as soon as they became aware of my presence. After saving and loading a few times, I managed to get a half decent outcome: Hiding behind the wall, making preparations to storm for the door, pacing, lingering, strategizing :ninja: - by the time I was ready, they had actually left :pinch: Once I got outside, they were busy fighting imperial soldiers. No penalties for joining the fight then :thumbsup: Edited November 14, 2017 by vertikal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
