I tried Googling it and searched the Crime section of the UESP but I just can't find it. From 100% chameleon using a stealth kill on FIVE different NPCs killing them all in one hit with nobody else even in the same cell as me, I STILL get a 1,000 gold bounty. The target isn't a guard or any form of law enforcement in any of the circumstances.
How do I avoid this? Been a while since I played Oblivion and I forgot >_>. I went to the extent of using Command Humanoid to drag them into a secluded cave, no other NPCs even exists there. Still received a bounty for murdering him.

Re: ALWAYS Get A Bounty For Murder?
Might have something to do with their responsibility stat. If you're already going to that much effort to kill someone, just bring them into combat or push em in lava.

Re: ALWAYS Get A Bounty For Murder?
Trying to get credit for the murder, though. I found a solution, but I'm not sure what caused the crime to always be reported with no witnesses, though. Is it their Responsibility?

Re: ALWAYS Get A Bounty For Murder?
If their Responsibility is at 100 (all Guards have it, and some civilian NPCs as well) then they get to "report" their own deaths to the authorities.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.
Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Re: ALWAYS Get A Bounty For Murder?
The crime system in this game is stupid.
Kill a guy in the middle of butt****ing nowhere and suddenly EVERY guard in the country knows you did it.
Sneaking through a dungeon, spot an enemy up ahead, the smart tactical thing to do is take out your bow and shoot the [&@%!] before he sees you, BUT OH NO IT'S AN ASSAULT! **** IT'S A GOD DAMN BANDIT WHO THE **** CARES! Yeah I'd like to see the stupid ****er try to walk into town and report me.
Is there a mod that fixes this crap?
