Max bounty limit? any notoriety, title or other indication for high bounty?
Hi, my bounty is now around 800k, i haven't seen anything except a message pop up on screen earlier saying 'unlocked serial killer'
in croydiiil you get the title options (volunterr, tryo,legion etc) is there a similar title option for the bounty?
do you get anything once your at 1 million? doesnt seem much point to it, as you are KOS pretty earlier on, nothing changes.
maybe a title or other effect (glow in red for example) so other players are aware ?

✭✭✭✭✭I doubt it, a high bounty is only the sign of a poor criminal; the aim of being a criminal under this system is to not be caught, so you don't get a high bounty. The highest bounty that's worth an achievement is 1,000, and that's for paying it off.UESP: The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages - A collaborative source for all knowledge on the Elder Scrolls series since 1995

✭There is no achievements tied to maximum number of bounty you can achieve. All the achievements, I'm sure as you know, is what is listed under the Justice achievements. There is one achievements, where if you pay 100k to a guard or a fence gives you that achievement.
Either be prepared to wait it out for long weeks/possibly months to clear it all out, or pay the bounty.
Having 800k in bounty is very careless from IMHO, and doesn't particularly reflect well on how well you can participate in the bounty system.3 -

Uhh, we are not saying that we never get bounty, but amassing that much is very careless (or staying true to the character of the evil thief-murderer menace of Tamriel.... whichever persona you enjoy). I have done almost all the achievements in Justice achievement (except Black Market Mogul) without accumulating that much bounty, and the most I have paid is 130k without Kickback 4/4 (just to get that 100k achievement). Again, the justice system is all about tact and patience, which apparently the OP has ignored and gone on killing spree (which is totally fine with the system). So be it, he can choose to do it, that's fine; but I'd rather not let the justice system hurt my purse.

The bounty system is flawed in that you can only be a thief. A successful murderer can never "Get away with it" because there is not a witness system. If you kill someone and murder all the witnesses then you should not get a bounty but yet you do.4 -

It's too late if you murder all the witnesses after the fact, because the bounty has already been reported, and you can't remove a reported bounty.

You have to one-shot them. They report a bounty for assault if you don't kill them instantly, and as I said above, you can't remove a reported bounty.

hi guys,
just to clarify i am not playing a thief. I havent been careless.
I've been levelling off NPC's - for the last week. every kill adds around 800 ish to my bounty.
I'm proposing there should be a toggle/title that shows on my name as 'serial killer' etc the same way you can add a visible tag in croydiiil such as 'volunteer' above your name

That's inconsistent with previous TES game. If I kill everyone in a town even after they report the bounty then after the last witness life is taken then the entire bounty is removed. I guess this is just another way for players to be pigeonholed into a sneak character and not a slaughter them all brute like some of us are used to.
Come to think of it I'm not sure why I care. There's no reason to take part in the Justice System in ESO until there's an actual social aspect to it. Example: Player guards. Without player guards it's kind of a head scratcher on it's purpose.Edited by Lionxoft on April 2, 2015 12:41PM1 -

It would be interesting actually to have a title from some of those existing Justice achievements, but I don't think there needs to be any new achievements/titles specifically for having a high bounty.

Only in Skyrim though, and still only if they hadn't reported it to the guards (reporting was not instant in Skyrim like it is in ESO). You couldn't wipe your bounty by killing all witnesses in Oblivion, and ESO is much more like Oblivion than Skyrim.UESP: The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages - A collaborative source for all knowledge on the Elder Scrolls series since 1995

I actually went back and tested this since my last post. The system in Skyrim is the closest to my expectation however even Oblivion had a window that did not require one shots for bounties to not be reported. The system in Skyrim is completely matching my expectation though. Slaughter every witness? Clears the bounty in it's entirety no matter how much they scream or cry.
Would be nice to take part in the Justice System and not be taking a squat for the duration.Edited by Lionxoft on April 2, 2015 1:11PM0 -

I can confirm NPC's not in town are giving xp. I hit about 830k bounty and 4 days of loot to sell killing them. Just from the blues/purples selling on the first day I gained about 25k gold. I went back to level werewolf and sit about 950k bounty, no achieves/color/titles.

@s7732425ub17_ESO Please show us actual numbers for XP and CP. Also tell us the level of your character you are using to kill these npcs. I highly doubt this XP you speak of compares to the already known grind areas for XP, let alone make it worth going into serious bounty debt. Sure it doesn't matter if you never plan on paying it, that is to say, if you never plan on going to any town or carrying gold on that character.

Forum post about it. Was mainly used as a CP exp farm spot back in the day. I checked the exp on a VR14 character, and it was pretty much the same as other top mob grind spots. But you also get fenced items which are worth a lot of gold.0
