Consequence of stealing

[Aukyron]

How does stealing work in the game? Can you get a fine or something or do you have the entire city wanting you dead like in DoS, forcing you to reload?

That's what I liked about Elder Scrolls games, getting caught provided another cool adventure getting put in jail and escaping (or not!)

If it's in a guarded area, the guards will investigate, they may confront you if you are then found near the scene of the crime.

When confronted by a guard, you'll have options from bribery to persuasion to deception to intimidation to maybe performance and more lol.

Though if you fail your dice rolls you can probably expect them to go hostile on you!

At least for the little I played in EA. There is a faction rep loss (i'm not sure how that rep is tallied in the end tho) and guards might be called.
You can go with the guards (to jail), fight the guards, bride or talk you way out of it.

And here's me, a person who uninstalled Skyrim because I just couldn't be bothered with the first town all wanting to kill me just cuz I shot a chicken with an arrow lol.

Nice! I am so glad they improved this! I'd like to to play without loading back my saves too much and it's a nice touch to have a bad consequence that is not too radical.

Bride? Like take the guard as a bride to get out of paying for your crimes? Not gonna lie that would have been a really interesting option for roleplay... But you probably meant to type "bribe"

Only problem I had with that is that your skills degraded while in jail. I mean it's understandable to some degree but I still didn't like it. 😋

You actually get put in jail in the goblin camp if you chose not to attack or pay a fine. There is even a goblin that ask you to do something foolish because they are bored and want to lock you up. Not sure if any of this will carry over to the final release.

Just don't get caught!
