Not receiving a bounty for being caught pickpocketing/stealing

SalixSepulcralis · February 2018

In Clockwork City I opened a thieve's trove and a nearby npc turned hostile, but I didn't get a bounty. I waited until she was no longer attacking and tried pick pocketing her, and on the third go, was caught, but again, didn't receive a bounty. Then it happened again, when I tried stealing from another npc. Both locations were out in the wild with no guards around, so it wouldn't have mattered if I did get one, but I figured I should mention this.

I'm on PC on the North American server.

Hmm. It just isn't showing that I have a bounty on screen (I don't remember that being part of an add-on if it is). I went into my character stat screen and it shows up there. Glad I didn't go into town.

Do you have any UI modifying add-ons installed? There is also (I think) an option to toggle the bounty notice window, could be off?

After searching through my settings (and asking my friend who's been playing a lot longer than I have) and coming up empty, I gave up and continued to play. Randomly the display popped back up on its own...

So, fixed?

There are a couple of places in Vvardenfell where the Justice System is just wonky. One cave, has friendly NPCs, but you can kill them even with the Prevent Harming Innocents turned on. Also, it does not show a bounty until you leave the place. I was quite surprised at the 4K in fines I had racked up.
