However, if you are a Fugitive and you have your gold in the bank then you have only a few options: Even if you are a fugitive and have enough gold on-hand then just let the guards kill you and they will take the gold from your pockets. If you have not hit the Fugitive bounty level, then paying off your bounty is simple just approach a guard or go to the Fence in the Outlaws Refuge, and pay them your bounty. Refer to the above "Bounty Levels" for details on what each level means. The white on the indicator is the level of bounty that you are at. If you've just been seen committing a crime, your heat probably will be high. This diminishes quite quickly and has to do with how aggressivley the guards will pursue you when they spot you. The red on the indicator indicates how much heat you're under. There are two colors on the indicator: red and white. You can see the level of bounty that you are at by referring to the Bounty Indicator in the lower right of your HUD. You can still sneak around the Guards if you are careful however the Guards are more likely to rush over to you than if you were Disreputable.įugitive: You are now “kill on sight” and Guards will not attempt to force you to pay your Bounty, rather they will try to kill you. Notorious: Guards will rush over to force you to pay your Bounty or flee. Upstanding: You are a fine and upstanding citizen and guards have no reason to accost you.ĭisreputable: You will generally be fine and guards will not attack you on sight, however if you walk right up to a guard they will force you to pay your Bounty or flee. There are four levels that the bounty on your head will scale to as you ravage the citizens of Tamriel, each labeled with a different level of notoriety (from lowest to highest): A word of warning though-there is a daily limit on how much these NPCs will buy from you, as they don't want to attract the attention of the law to themselves. These are safe havens for you unruly types there are no guards to stop you, and there are Fences inside that you can sell your misbegotten items to. Fortunately, in most big cities there are places call Outlaws Refuges. There wouldn't be much point in stealing loot if you couldn't make a profit on it, so you need a way to fence your stolen items. And be careful, NPCs react in different ways, so you may bite off more than you can chew. If another NPC witnesses the attack then they are liable to attack you. You can either outright attack them, or if you have the skills for it, sneak up behind them and assassinate them. Most NPCs are susceptible to being attacked.

Of course, it's best not to be seen when you steal stuff, so make sure no-one sees you performing your misdeed. Items that are considered stolen when picked up are clearly marked that way when you target them. You can either kill the NPC and increase the bounty on your head further, or you can flee.
