Anytime I kill someone (specifically kill, not fail at pickpocket or any other crime) somehow people that are a reasonable distance away from me all know what I did and run for the guards. Example: I killed an alehouse maid in the Inn of the lodgings that are just east of the Rattay combat arena. No one else was inside (believe me I checked) and I killed her quickly so it didnt exactly make much noise, but instantly I hear people yelling from outside so I go to check and people are running out from the building across from the Inn and running for help. My question is, is this a bug? If not how secluded do I have to be in order to kill someone and not be detected? I thought I was definitely far away enough from others in that scenario.
More of a flaw in the stealth kill mode. Was a stealth kill, yes?
Nope, failed to pickpocket her so I killed her after she woke up but she hadn’t gotten to yelling yet, only said what are you doing quietly.
I and many others still see it as a flaw in quiet kills out of sight.
just like if KO/kill someone in sight of a town but not near it the KO/dead Npc can still summon guards on ya.
