Any bonus for completing "loud and clear" without being seen?

[Bóbr]

I almost completed the whole mission "loud and clear" in Rifton without being caught. Even the keeper of the estate (forgot his name, the guy with the key) didn't realise I'm there (It seems to be scripted that he detects you, but I loaded another save game, kept close to him and stole his key without being seen).

I went outside to burn the bee hives, but some guards spotted me and I had to kill them. I know that you are allowed to kill them, but is there any bonus or atleast someone says something about it if you didn't get caught once? Is it even possible to not get caught burning the bee hives (I mean... It's a pretty big fire ;) )?

I've done it without being caught, as a mid level sneak mage. I abused the hell out of Muffle and Invis to get it done. You don't get anything extra for not killing guards, they just don't want you to kill Aringoth (the owner).

Ok thx. Because Aringoth didn't see me I didn't have to kill him. And nobody got upset about me killing some guards so I'm fine ;)

common npcs are always ok to kill.

There is no 'bonus' for anything in Skyrim. You gain skill levels by using them and player levels by raising skill levels.

Well there are some quests that give extra if you do bonus objectives, like most of the TG side quests with the extra loot and so on.

I've been through this one several times without being seen even by his guards.I didn't use Invis postions, So it can be done. Now did you just get the Key from the owner or did you get the Bee in a jar and bee statue as well? Me I clean him out of all valuables.. After all I am a thief.

I didn't get the bee in the jar, but I got the statue by sneaking as close to the wall as possible.
