design flaw: Having bounty mucks up quests.

I have a bounty in White Run, due to some... misunderstanding, that ended with murder of several guards.

And as part of my role playing experience, my character hates the law, hates lawmen, hates jails, and would rather die / be mass murderer than to submit the law or go to jail or to bribe anyone.

So yeah I don't really care if all White Run guards keep trying to shove their law on me, just kill them all.

But then I got this quest to retrieve The Horn of Juergen Windcaller, which happens to be taken by Delphine in Sleeping Giants Inn? Well, it's probably due to my bounty, but I can't talk to her at all, she always attacks me whenever I'm there, I can't initiate any communication with her.
And I can't kill her either, damn essential NPCs...
So I'm stuck, I can't take that Horn from her...
And without that Horn, I can't continue the Greybeards main quest line.

Why not just submit to the law? Or bribe the guards?
Well as I said, my character will never accept that. She's stubborn that way. I take roleplaying very seriously!

Stuck

It seems to me that Skyrim Game Designers either missed seeing this problem, or their simply are not kind to players who play mass murdering game.
That's unfair to me you know? I have right to proceed on my main questline, regardless of what kind of character I play. Why should I be forced into line? It's discrimination I tell you!

I'm starting to hate this game now...

AAAAHHHHH

"Certainly seems like the game itself is staying in character to me. If Delphine is an essentially moral person, why would she believe that you could be the dragonborn if you're a notorious mass murderer who hasn't even kept it under wraps?"

--
and that's also her problem.

that in my game:
The Dragonborn she's been looking for IS a psychotic mass murderer.

You tell me to reconcile the fact that the game only accepts goodie-goodie characters (or pretend goodie goodie) in its main storlyline ?

I can say it the other too:
I'll tell Delphine ( and the game ) to reconcile the fact that their Dragonborn hero, could be a very evil person, (who is also very open about it) .

Bethesda doesn't seem to take into account that (rather obvious) possibility in their game design. Their storyline is very linear this way... and no better than Jap RPG.

AAAAHHHHH

--"If Skyrim were the real world and the savior of humanity was a person with the morality you are expressing then you know what? the world would come to an end because the people would just as soon kill you than take the risk that some kind of human garbage is their savior, and look at that, that is what is happening in the virtual Skyrim as well.

I've said this in another thread, but I guess I'll need to reiterate it here; killing people does not make people like you and that brings about consequences you might not like, so you can accept the consequences or think harder about what you do."


Knowing that I always kill (except those stupid essentials) anyone who provoke me into a fight, with 100% success rate,
yet these moronic guards still try and try and try. And they don't even come up with new approaches.

No, the blame is not with me. The blame is with whoever keep sending those guards my way, knowing full well that they stand no chance, and that they WILL die.

You're with the military? Think about that for a moment.

Keep sending your troops into certain failure and death. Does that make you... psychotic? Incompetent? Idiot?
No, the blame's not with whoever kills your troops, the blame is with you as the one who keep sending your men into their 100% certain and pointless deaths.

"Actually part of the problem is that this chick and the companions are in the 'guard' faction but not any particular hold faction. So if you have a bounty anywhere they bug you about it.

It is one thing to have an issue with the cops, but to never serve time (less bad than paying them)? While I have had similar characters that is excessively obstinate. At least save up the I'm thane dialog for your 10000 bounty spree.

Oh, try waiting for bounty hunters. Does that get past the cops bad? Just save before talking to them, they can glitch and not remove bounty."


I don't want to pay any bounties, because as far as I can see it, I didn't start this whole thing.
One misunderstanding lead to another and before long these guards would just keep trying, and failing.

I remember in another game: Baldur's Gate: Shadows of Amn, there's a certain Anti-Magic authority there who would keep on sending people trying to kill you just because you don't buy their 'magic is illegal' law. But if you keep on killing them, their attacks will increase and they get more and more deadlier, showing that they really want to kill you, until a certain point where you have killed them enough that they finally get the point and give up trying, and finally leave you alone.

That is the feeling I'm after, that feeling of victory.
