Necromancer criminal act has to go !!!
This is absurd to put such a hindrance on a class getting bounties for using their skills. Why be a necromancer if you have to use other skills that are not necromantic to battle is crazy when near people that will call out a bounty on you? I did a quest in Reapers March that had me do 3 separate battle challenges in town and since 3 of my skills are criminal acts my bounty went up like crazy not to mention doing something like 9 arena battles as well for the quest and fans were tagging me with bounties left and right in there, needless to say I walked away with almost 18K bounty because of that one quest. I couldn`t play for a day unless I payed out that gold and what is the purpose of doing quests if you don`t even get enough gold from them to pay for the bounty.

Reason is cause all the races in Tamriel view anyone that uses necromancy as dark arts and are outlawed/illegal. Easy way around it is to use skills that are not criminal acts like raising the undead/ghosts.

Got to play smart when playing as a necromancer.

Sounds like a cool concept that might also be annoying to deal with, a thin line to balance that it must be.

Raising the undead/ghost is a criminal act the best ones to use that give good damage and help in surviving are criminal act ones. I get the concept and the story line about the necromancers but they feel that way about vampires and werewolves but they move about and their skills are not criminal acts at least not marked I know the feeding is a criminal but you don`t use it in battle it`s a sneak attack.

Don't use skills marked as "Criminal Act" in towns, heck it even tells you in RED text which ones are.
Nah,its fine like this,more immersive.
Playing as a vampire stamblade and im really looking forward to the vampire revamp,so that we finally get a bounty aswell.

Only werewolves missing now...

Sure, it's tricky but it's also a funny immersive thing..
Not all skills are 'criminal' and if needed you can use more weapon skills if you know you have to fight in a city.
Worked fine for me..

I'm no hardcore roleplayer but I love the 'criminal' combi of vampire and necro. Fits perfect..

Yeah, that's what I got from the last stream as well. They're expanding on the idea so I don't see them changing the way it works with the necromancer, I don't see a lot of complaints about it anyway.

SJW, go away.

Yeah, sorry my man, but as mentioned, the fact they are expanding on this idea means it is here to stay. Makes sense lore wise, as necromancy is seriously hated by the majority of the denizens of Tamriel. In fact, they didn't take it as far as they should have imo, any Dark Elves that see you do necromancy would attack you on sight thats how much they despise it. Necros are pretty OP, so this system is not a bad thing.

I know they`re marked in red been playing it since it came in but to have to use other skills that are not necromancer what is the purpose of being a certain class if you cant use your skills.

Lol, you can use them to great result in all the places that really matter. Suck it up and use a weapon skill for the 3 or 4 times in the game you will have to do some fighting in an area where you can get a bounty.
