Tired of being forced to kill after pick pocketing. and dead bodys witnessing murders

I feel there needs to be a change here when you pick pocket someone and they attack you and you are inside of a building you either wait for them to kill you or you are forced to kill them and receive a bounty for it which is super annoying because there is no way to avoid or get out of the fight.. Also after killing someone in a house with 2 people in it you get a bounty and the corpse of the one you killed witnesses you killing the other guy. Why do we need to get a bounty here? there are no witnesses to that murder. For example there was a upstairs and downstairs to the house i killed the person upstairs and got a bounty because apparently the person downstairs can see through the floor and then i went downstairs and killed that person and got a bounty because the dead body apparently can witness the murder through the floor. This whole thing is super annoying and needs to be tweaked.

Or you could just pop an invis potion and drop out of combat and then walk out the door.

As for bounty, you will get a bounty even if there is just one person (the person you are killing) sees you. The only way I found to kill a NPC and get no bounty was to one shot them when no one else can see. So the NPC is dead so fast before they can witness there own death

If the NPC yells, there is a bounty, even if no one sees it

i did not know that about the potions but even if you one shot the npc and there is a corpse you still get a bounty

Witness system really is fubar. Potions really are not practical.

Best is to just pay off the bounty or don't pickpocket indoors. I've learn to avoid that quick. Lots of other things to steal inside buildings.
