What steps will be taken to insure that the Justice System is not used to grief?

One example would be by players killing vendors, quest givers, bank NPCs, etc.

For areas like cold harbor where 'feeding' is not so easily accomplished will the guards of the hollow city (with all the things they no doubt see daily) even raise an eyebrow at a full WW or stage 4 Vampire?

No doubt some people enjoy being the wicked, bad boy, evil type. What is to keep a character from being perminatly locked out of play? Or if someone is wicked enough is loss of your character for an hour, day, month etc as they rot in prison a reality that will come to pass.

Does each city have its own jail? Will there be a big boys worst of the bad prison for each faction (and an achievment for have been sent there).

Will we see other players in the stocks?

Some historical societies in the real world have used brands, tattoos and other permanant body alterations to mark criminals. Will the justice system have this?

What questions have you expected to be asked and not yet heard?

What should we really truely need to know about the nity-grity nuts and bolts of the new Justice System?

Questions:

• Do Npc re-spawn if killed or are they gone for ever?
• Are there certain Npcs who cannot be killed?
• Do other players killing Npcs affect other players?
• Do killing animals now consider a crime like pigs or chickens in towns or cities?
• Do guards have patrols now through out the cities and towns?

I am interested in knowing about hirelings and the timing issues that has been going on for almost 6 months now with their mails.
Will we see a "fix" to it, so that it is a viable for normal people to put in a 3rd skillpoint into their hirelings or will we still be ignored with our concerns in this regard ?

How will the justice system impact players that don't want to participate? I've read the info on opting in, but if it makes containers unable to be looted without 'stealing' then it effects everyone, opt in or not. Is this going to make things like motifs and recipes, often found in homes and castles in chests/dressers/trunks/etc. much easier to come across for thieves? Telling us we can find those items elsewhere, in the 'wild', isn't good enough IMO, since it's much easier for someone to just stay in the city and gather to their hearts content.

I wanna kill Lady Laurent. Sadly, she is a quest giver. Please put a version of her somewhere where I can kill her. LOL

OK, silliness aside, while I understand that the Justice System is going to make snatching things out of baskets, crates and barrels, etc stealing... are places where those resources are NOT considered stealing going to be introduced/increased? How easy is it going to be to be any kind of crafter and NOT also a thief?

More questions, since it has been said the initial rollout will be much like Skyrim's justice system:

Will animals be able to witness crimes? (I'm still mad about that chicken in Skyrim that put a huge bounty on my head).

And will other players be able to witness crimes, or only NPC's? Ofcourse a player can't put a bounty on another playes head, but it would be difficult to steal in towns if the eye won't close when other playes have you within sight, thus making every NPC near see it.

Considering that the thieves are going to be hunted by a large portion of the population, are Nightblades going to be able to re-enter a stealth mode IE use <CTRL> after using the Invisibility skill while invisibility is in effect? Please don't give me the use of Vampire skills on this subject as I have no desire to be a Vampire.

Is the Argonian Passive Amphibious, and Nightblade Passive Catalyst going to apply to all potions because currently they do not change the length of effect of the Invisibility Potion along with other types of potions? If not will the wording be changed on these passives or will the passives be changed to something more usable by the race and class respectively?

Also considering that the populous in general is going to be allowed to hunt thieves are the thieves going to be allowed to pick the pockets of Player Characters "In the Cyrodil PvP areas"? No reward without risk. Thieves will most likely be by themselves and I foresee large groups of hunters chasing thieves around a town.

Thanks for allowing these questions

What happens when someone steals, without really meaning to? Is that person permanently on the thieves side.

Hopefully the justice system will finally allow Greifing. If you don't like it, go back to minecraft and live in your dirt house. This is the main reason so many people bought the game... they were expecting oblivion/skyrim style mayhem, and they got an easy version of the sims where nothing bad happens to you.

You seem to forget... this is elder scrolls online. I really hope there is no "opt out" option or you'll see a lot of people "opt out" of paying the monthly subscription. If you don't want to steal/kill/be killed, play sim city. In morrow wind, skyrim, oblivion, there were consequences for stealing, and you had to make a decision as to whether or not the consequences would be worth the action. This system was one of the main contributors to the success of those games, because you couldn't do anything like that in any other game at the time.

Will the justice system actually force people to make decisions, and provide negative consequences strong enough to deter players who aren't skilled enough to deal with the consequences?

Be prepared to "opt out" of your monthly sub as you suggest, iirc they've already said you have to flag yourself in some way to participate.

Hi everyone!

This Friday, December 5th, we'll be having a very special segment on ESO Live showcasing the Justice System with Justice Lead Scott Nixon. Scott will be giving a general overview of the Justice System, and will present various features that you can expect to see once the system is available including theft, burglary, assault, bounty, consequences of your actions, and more.

If you have any questions about the Justice System and aren't able to join us on Friday during the show, you can post your questions here and we'll do our best to answer as many as we can!

Will we get any new skill lines such as Thieving or Lockpicking to aid in our mischievous endeavors ?
