Also, if you approach a guard of the place your bounty is for, you can offer to pay it instead of going to jail. Straight up murder is a bounty of 1200ish I think.
Only if they catch you.

Has anyone figured out how to remove a bounty? I had to serve time because I couldn't figure it out. I also hear that if you are Thane you can just tell the guard and he will leave you alone. I am Thane but I did not get the option to tell him so I had to go to jail. I killed a noble for his horse nowhere near Whiterun but I guess word travels. Then his horse ran away after a tried to fight a giant...  :-[
Try asking around in the Ratrun in Riften, I heard in the game you could get your bounty removed there. But I don't kill innocent people often, so I haven't tried it.

Oh, and does anyone know when the Creation Kit is supposed to be released??

No definite word, I think, but they've said they're working on it. Usually (Well, for F3 at least, and I think Oblivion too but I can't remember for certain) comes out a few weeks after the game.

It's definitely the best part of the games though. Very much anticipating.


I heard that you can mine and chop trees. How?

Mine by finding "[metal] vein" nodes and carrying a pickaxe, gives you some ore you can melt into... those square thingies and then use for smelting.

Chop wood at special wood-chopping places, can then be exchanged for money. No actual cutting down trees or anything like that, that I've encountered at least.

From watching my girlfriend play, mining is done by getting a pickax and finding ore. Not sure about trees.

By the way as someone who's only played Oblivion so far and wants to give this game a try, is a sneaky Argonian mage/assassin character practical? That was my character in oblivion and he was fun.

There comes a time when you must take off the soft, furry slippers of a boy and put on the shoes of a man.
Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

Considering how much a piece of bread is, like 1 gold, a murder really costs too little lol.

Maybe they don't have the time to properly deal with murder?

I think the 'look the other way' thing doesn't change while the bounty does?

Oh, so you mean like a minimum fine for larger bounties? If so then why not just hide it using conditions if it is lower?

It can work. Beware that dragon fights will be a bit fiddly unless you've got a plan.

That said, pretty much every character design will work with a given quantity of effort. Probably the only really tough one would be a professional smith/enchanter, because if you level those up you might keep your level 2 weapon skills while fighting level 10 enemies...

Because that would make sense? I don't even know if I'm correct since I'm not a member of the guild.

Has anybody tried dual weilding sheilds yet? Or are they off-hand only like torches.
