I was able to leave the bank after being caught by a guard while stealing (allegedly)! This is a huge change, and should have been in the patch notes (assuming it was not a bug). Wooo this is a good change! B)

Meanwhile, it does seem that bounties are taking a bit longer to tick down...is that new or just my perception?

    Hot sauce! Maybe now people will finally stop whining about the implementation of Justice Enforcers!
    Oh, who am I kidding?...

    Weird. I could always get out of the Vulkhel Guard bank after being caught stealing as long as the guard wasn't actually beating on me. If I would steal and became "disreputable" I could leave if I ran to the door. If I took too long and the guard noticed me and started chase, I wouldn't be able to leave.

    Hate to say this but.. mind testing it a few times? lol What I am referring to happened before the patch.. so... weird.

    The banks all installed the DoorGuard anti-theft system.

    You can still make it out the door if all that happened was you were witnessed, and have a bounty now. I think the issue is once you are in combat, you can't use doors.

    I don't think you can use any doors or fast travel options if you are in Combat. So, if you get caught*, get out before a guard comes over to see what the fuss is.

    I made it out of the Palace of Wayrest, after being caught, only to run into 3 guards and lose about 40 Green and Blue items I had pilfered.

    *Meaning Caught Stealing, not Arrested.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    That's correct. Before today I was still able to exit the building once caught and on the run, but once they hit me i could no longer interact with the doors.

    You can use the door to an outlaw refuge while in combat. So there is precedence for it.

    Anyways, in Skyrim you could use a door to leave or enter a building while being attacked by the guards...of course the guards could use the door too.

    Nope.

    I broke into a room and got noticed right away. They just told me to leave, so I turned around, looked down and said "Um, where's the doorknob?" Started looking around for another exit, but there was just the one door. They told me to leave again a bit more forcefully. Still can't find the doorknob. Run to back of the room and then to the door again and finally found the doorknob just as they were telling me they were going to call the guards. Interestingly, no bounty when I finally got out.

    I wonder if that is why there is no animation on that door. You activate and you are immediately in transition. Unlike every other door that has to do the animation before the load screen starts.

    As strange as it may sound, you only incur a bounty if someone OUTSIDE notices you breaking and entering. The dwellers of the violated building may notice you, get pissed and threaten to call the guards, but you will never get a bounty unless you do other sorts of mischief while inside.

    You both do understand we're not talking about the same thing right? Being caught stealing or committing a crime and being IN COMBAT from a Guard are 2 totally different game mechanics. That's what the OP is referring to. I haven't tested it yet but previously if you were accosted by a Guard while inside a Building it was a guaranteed death sentence as the doors magically wouldn't work, even though you could enter the Refuge with a Guard stabbing you in the back. Hopefully ZoS did ninja fix this and hopefully the Guard also comes out and continues chase, like what should happen.

    And hopefully the guards' loading screens when entering/leaving buildings last just as long as the fugitive's :D

    If you are ever stuck in a house and a guard is attacking you, run as far as possible away from the door, use the longest lasting CC you have on the guard and sprint to the door, if you aren't attacked for a short bit you will be able to go through the door and leave the guard to sit inside smacking his head on the door trying to find out how to open it

    Try this out the next time you are caught in the Shornhelm Bank in Rivenspire and let us know how it works for you ;)

    if that does happen use a Invisibility potion and move away as far as possible from the guard / innocent attacking you and they will reset and then the door magically unlocks....

    I'm going to guess you've never been inside the Bank in Shornhelm. There is no "move away as far as possible" in that building, it's about 10'x10' squared.
