While I disagree with the stance ZOS have taken with regards to NPC interaction and bounties, it still seems to be the case that, under the current iteration of the Justice System, having a high bounty does not impede quest progress. Therefore the issue the OP is facing is technically a bug.

In this thread http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/232429/can-not-complete-long-live-the-king-quest-with-4-million-bounty-ps4/p1. Support said to get rid of the bounty and try again. It may or may not be intended. I have not seen a response from a dev on this either way.

Maybe @ZOS_GinaBruno can chime in?

its not. those quests only were made when justice system wasnt there.
Those quest are outdated and should be fixed to Justice system instead.

The argument there are other quests that act that way (installed before JS) and this doesnt (after Justice system) is kind of 2 different things

Well I sent Gina a PM with links to both these threads.

If it isn't supposed to be this way, it needs fixed.
If it is, it needs to be clarified so it's known and people are aware of it.

In a game where there's really no actual long-term consequences for any decision you make, it seems rather inconsistent.

Yeah,but if the OP is going for that bounty achievement,he wont get it if he lets the guards kill him.You'll only need to do it once though and you'll be cleared of all bounty.If he isnt going for that achievement,I cant think why he would let himself get that much bounty to begin with!

At 77 million, or even 4 million bounty, they've gone well past any number required for any achievement. They need to take off all armour, to reduce repair costs, let some guard kill them, bounty cleared, problem solved.

Not really. It affects nothing in any future interactions, doesn't block any questlines, no further consequences for your choice in any way.

Does that work? I was under the impression that they collected any stolen items and only took gold from your character to pay off (toward) your bounty.

^^ With a bounty in the millions, or even past a few thousand, you're pretty much "kill on sight" by the guards. The few times it happened on my NB, the guards would kill me, I'd lose all stolen items and when I was rezzed, the bounty was cleared. I didn't have the gold to cover my 6k bounty and yet it was cleared with no gold lost when I got killed by the guards.

Only if they have 77 million gold on them when they're killed. And that's not very likely.

That sounds like a bug.

this statement is not true. His bounty was cleared with stolen items he had in his inventory probably.

Would love an official word on this.

if you get a bounty that high its not ZOS fault, its yourselfs.
i dont know why ZOS should fix this as it aint rly a bug.

its nearly the same as if he would say i cant walk past a guard cos my bounty is too high

Its going to impact such a small demographic within the game, either they did it on purpose to cry about it seeing as this is the second thread in as many days or they thought they wouldnt run into consequences eventually for high Bounty, that it makes absolutely no sense to put any sort of logistics towards changing this.

The most simple solution, and its in the hands of the player, would have been to never get your bounty that high. But of course its the games fault and ZOSs fault for the choice of the player. No one ever wants to take responsibility for their own actions.

I have absolutely zero empathy for these players.

Sounds like you've gotten the "murder" thing down.

Might be time to master pickpocket and fencing...

In the standalone's, not only would people not interact with you when your infamy got so high, the entire town would join in to beat the hell out of you when you committed a crime.

You shouldn't expect to be able to progress normally after committing genocide. Why would a character like that suddenly want to advance the rebuilding of Orsinium anyway?

You had no issue acquiring the bounty. Commence to acquiring the gold to pay it off.

You have zero sympathy for people who just want to play the game the way they want and and should be able to complete a quest with a bounty but can not cause of a bug especially since every other quest in the game can be completed with a bounty and it's not the players fault it's zenimax fault for introducing this bug and not fixing it

I have zero sympathy for people who willfully indulge in a consequence mechanic, to the point of racking up enough of a bounty to make Donald Trump blush, and then complain when it bites them in the ***. Why would I feel sorry for you? You did this to yourself. Knowningly did this to yourself.

I did it because it's the way I like to play but it hasn't been a issue completing quest with a bounty until now so it's zenimax fault

You likely won't get a response here. This is a discussion forum, not customer support. For customer support, you have to go to customer support.

On PC/Mac, use /bug one time, and only one time, for this. On console, follow whatever process they have.

Hopefully, you reported this to customer support. It does not matter what they respond with, or how they disposition it, it is in the system with a ticket number. You can continue to reply to that ticket number with additional, pertinent, information.

EDIT: You will know when it is fixed because you will be able to interact with that NPC.

Most bugs like this do not get a personal response in the forums from Rich, Gina, or anyone else at ZOS. The only reason it might attract a dev comment is that the whole situation has a certain amount of "unusual" to it. Most players that come across this will only be inconvenienced.

I hope you do get an answer. Really. However, the lack of an answer in no way diminishes the possibility of a fix. If it is a bug, I am certain they will fix it. It blocks progression in the game. The only question is how long will the wait be. Like the majority of the customer reported bugs that get fixed, there will be no fanfare, discussion, or acknowledgement. You should not expect to hear anything until it appears in the patch notes.

I am looking forward to a possible amusing comment in the patch notes.

P.S. - Spamming them for an answer will only get you a stern talking to, or banned. It will not speed up any fixes.

P.P.S - And you got the reply you were looking for.

We can confirm that you should be able to speak with any quest NPC regardless of your bounty (it wouldn't be very fair otherwise). We're working on fixing Roxanne so she'll speak with you even if you have a large bounty.
