Guards don't arrest me

[Guest]

I have a 500 bounty with a few holds from "Live a Deviant Life", but the guards in those holds only stop and say "Wait, I know you" if I get close to them. I even put 500 as a major crime in the setting from Prison Overhaul but that won't affect how they react and I don't think this is immersive. Is this how bounties in vanilla work or is this a result of some mod I have installed? If I am wanted, they should arrest me on sight or I won't ever get arrested, because talking to a guard when I have a bounty in that region is just stupid.

They only charge after you for major crimes otherwise they indeed just saying wait I know you and you can also most likley get them to forget about speaking to you. For major crimes they indeed should charge after you. Don't know how it works with deviant live if I remember right they should charge you did you tried to just punch a guard in the face? Or well just backstab someone so you get a higher bounty and see if it works then.

Or use the console for the testing at least and use player.setcrimegold <#> <FactionID>        whiterun ID would be 000267EA

 

Obviously you should just save before trying it out

I tried murdering a farmer outside the city, which gave me 10000 higher bounty and that was enough for the guards to attack me, so I guess you need to have a very high bounty for them to care about it. But I would like a mod that makes them initiate dialogue with me if I have a bounty, if such a mod exists. Then I would actually need to conceal my identity with a mask to avoid getting caught and that would add to rp/immersion.

I think I have seen the same issue, normally if they identify you they would question you and give you the chance to pay the fine or go to jail or whatever but it never gets past that line.

For me the bounty for charging behind me its 1k which is what you get normally fur murdering for me its ok if you kill someone you go to jail just for stealing or something else you can work something out with the guards (paying for what you stole), but it would indeed better when they talk to you instead of just walking by and saying I know you ähm yeah if you know me why don't you speak to me, but well I can life with it.

 

you could use a mod that makes the bountys higher if you want they charge you for everything like this:

or maybe you allready use something like that since you got 10k bounty for killing I get only 1k like in vanilla.

Vanilla behaviour is btw they only charge you for stuff over 100 gold so you really get only charged for murder by the guards otherwise they just walk by.

 

otherwise it seems there are not no real crime mods that make it more immersive this one here at least makes sneaking maybe more intresting, but I havent used it so I can't say if its good http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9887/?
