Killing random Thalmor places a bounty? : V - Skyrim

Watch out for other observers, though. Hunters, bandits, draugr, chickens, horses... who knows how many of these are trying to earn merit badges? :ribbon:

Has anyone been busted by wildlife Post-1.4? I just freed a Stormcloak soldier/prisoner with all that implies and when I was 'done' there were 2 mammoths staring right at me approx 50 feet away, but I got no bounty. :confused:

Did Bethesda take wildlife out of the Snitch Faction?

Oh, yeah. They say something like, "That's where you're wrong. You'll pay for that.", right? :tongue:

Next time I gonna' try the Remain Silent or "..." option. :lol:

Then they assume that you're trying to hide your heresy... and attack you!

I figured they would, but I thought there may be a slight chance that they move on. :lol:

I can always chase them down and reengage them...even if I have to murder them - what's 3 more at this point? :tongue:

Edited for punctuation.

I was traveling north of Solitude when I happened upon a random group of Thalmor. Of course, since I hate Thalmor, I killed them, leaving no survivors. Soon after, I found another group and killed them too. I then went on to complete my brief quest.

When I arrived back in Solitude, the guards swarmed me, swords drawn, demanding that I submit for my crimes. But I already paid the 47 gold for the potion I stole from the Winking Skeever! They demanded 1000 gold, so of course, I paid it, entirely nullifying my profit from the cave I just looted.

Did I earn that 1000 gold bounty by killing Thalmor on a remote street, even though I left no survivors? I thought a crime would go unrecorded if there were no witnesses, or none survived?

Sneaksy Thalmor, beat me even in death!

Yeah, pretty much anything you say will make them attack you. Suspicious little buggers, aren't they?

I found a group of thalmor and they were hostile on sight. Is that normal?

I've heard that if you side with Kematu in In My Time of Need the Thalmor send hit squads after you - I'm still waiting for them. :lol:

I've read that if you attack the guards at the Thalmor Embassy it will make it difficult or impossible to complete Diplomatic Immunity - if that's true I could also see the Thalmor attacking on sight if you've fought the guards. I've never tested it because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to complete Diplomatic Immunity so I've always avoided the embassy.

I've been up close to the embassy on various toons, but never see a guard. Also, I've have hostile Thalmor "hit goon squads" show up out of the blue on nearly every toon - even all of them NOT doing the MQ. S'okay.... love to kill them Thalmor....
