Bring back the death penalty

[Mystalvision]

I don't really like the meager conequences for murder. There should be something resembling an attempt to deter murder. That would be just a smidgeon of realism. At least in Morrowind, you could recieve a death sentence in which case there was no way to enter that town without being attacked on sight and there was no way to get to a jail/fine option. You had to try to remove the price on your head through other means.

Get 25,000 in Bounty. You will be marked for death. LOL

Yah, but you got to be a mass murder to get 25k. I think a witnessed murder is 1k.

Yup he's murderd 24 people we mite think of just killing him now, NOOO!!! its not the skyrim way.

 

[Necromis]

well I like your thoughts, but I still think you should have to go to jail B4 you are killed for murder. After all they have to build the gallows. Then you could have an option of bribing the guard, or doing some type of *dirty dozen* mission for the jarl.....etc. But hey, it just shows that Skyrim is corupt and my work with the Thieves guild and DB has worked and everyone can be bought and bent to the will of the Listner....er....I mean my Night Mother.

People should also be harder to kill. Id rather have a lot more horrific screaming and pleading to spare their life to make it more realistic.

This is where a reputation system would come into play.

And you should be able to really scare the kids, not just play tag or hide and seek....or even be able to kill them mwhaaaa

But too, it is far too easy to kill people, with only a "sigh" from them. And only a $1000 bounty?? By our standards, that is very laughable.

Agreed. I look forward to any mods that modifies the justice system to realism. But then again, if you have the money, you can get away with almost everything just like IRL!

And boom goes the dynamite! Could not agree with you more about a reputation system.

As the OP I agree with all these opinions. The only thing I might go out on a limb and say in Bethesda's defense as an in-universe explanation is that perhaps 1000 gold is very steep to the common NPC--but not to an adventurer. The common NPC works for a living and doesn't go into 2000 year old ruins fighting the undead and looting all manor of merchandise. The average shop-keeper doesn't even have 1000 gold on him for a 48 hour period. But on the other hand, many an NPC will hand you 1500 gold for a fetch-it quest.

Never mind...

For the prices of filled Grand Soul Gems the NPCs should be showering in gold coins!

Part of the fun for me are my murderous rampages. I keep a trophy from every kill in my house. Anyone who gets in the way of my quest of filling my house with cheese gets an arrow in the eye


The pile has doubled in size since I took the pic

^^^^^

But don't you like realism too?

 

[Xiomn]

fluff the death penalty, bring back STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM! NOBODY BREAKS THE LAW ON MY WATCH!

 

[SoleKillswitch]

Realism for me is being strapped to a cubicle 40 hours a week, raising a two year old girl on my own.

Why would I want a game with dragons, magic, and the like to be realistic? Nonsesne I say. It would ruin the few hours I get to myself every week.

In short; fluff that
