Question about the Justice System.

If you assault an NPC when the Justice System releases, will they fight back or will they just have a 1-hit kill on them?
I hope this is the case. Skyrim's NPCs fought back when you commited a crime so I don't see why they shouldn't in ESO. Just this thing would add alot more depth to the system.

If you know what you're doing (and doing it right), you can one-hit kill an NPC. In fact, that's generally the only way to avoid a bounty, because once you get into a brawl, odds are that a guard or another NPC will see you.If you assault an NPC when the Justice System releases, will they fight back or will they just have a 1-hit kill on them?.
An NPC's reaction to your attack - that is, whether they attack back, run and hide, etc. - will depend on the individual NPC's personality. Not all NPCs are brave, armored guards!18 -

@ZOS_AmeliaR, while you're answering questions, could you please clarify something that I believe was answered incorrectly in the ESO Live episode. If you attack someone in private (says their house), you incur a bounty if you don't one-shot them. But if you two-shoot them and no guard or other house-mate comes to the rescue to see you standing over the body, do you keep the bounty despite there being no living witness to the crime? In ESO Live he portrayed that the bounty would stay, but I gotta believe he was "confused" by the wording of the question and misspoke.
Please clarify. Thanks.Edited by Dominoid on December 10, 2014 10:20PM1 -

ZOS_AmeliaR✭✭✭✭✭To clarify, once a crime is reported, it stays reported regardless of whether you take out the witness. During Friday's ESO Live episode, there were a couple of questions about this that Scott answered (check around timestamp 1:27:05). Hope this helps explain it.1

Wow, I'm actually really curious about the concept of having a chain of witnesses.
How many people would you have to murder before the problem is finally resolved?
Would it be a specific chain of people, or would it be randomized based on number of witnesses and possibility of people they reported to?
For example, am I scripted to always have to murder two or three witnesses, a couple of guards, a bailiff, and possibly some captain or warden? Or would it be that the amount of witnesses to kill are literally determined by the amount of people in the vicinity of the crime? Or is it possible that certain NPC's only report crimes to specific people that are labeled as trust worthy to them (for what ever reason)?Edited by Rezzy64 on December 11, 2014 10:45PM0 -

Think it work more like in Skyrim, somebody see you do something they will report it unless you kill them while in the area.
If you leave the area, might even go outside the house you are reported
Grinding just make you go in circles.

Thanks for the confirmation but it's kinda bogus. Killing the only witness to a crime should not have others mysteriously know of that crime. But I digress . . . thanks for the response.Edited by Dominoid on December 12, 2014 4:12AM1 -

What counts as "reported" though? Do the NPCs have to be near another NPC or a guard, or are you seriously bringing in psychic guards?0
