Firstly, I do not know if it is a bug so I’ll include it in this here thread - but I seem to randomly get a bounty on me for hurting people with a fine of 200 coins or a jail time of around 10 days. Now I have killed people with seemingly no witnesses, so do they have an investigation to the murders? I have not fought or knocked out anyone I did not kill after. I don’t want to put this straight in bugs as I don’t actually think it is a bug, perhaps I’m missing something?
Had a similar experience when making quest fighting a guy named Milan. After beating him, as requested, I got a bounty reputation. Maybe there was a witness.
Since I was not interested in jail I decided to do some stuff in the forests avoiding the town. After 1-2 nights in sleep I noticed that there was no headmoney/bounty anymore.
So do the people forget a bountyhunt after a sleepy night? The ingame help has no explanation or did I misread something in the Journal?
Damn, I love this game. Even without day-1-patch on my Xbox X, its just challenging entertainment!
I like that fight quest lol. Although I think the characters have good memories. For example, knocking someone out that saw you, will report to a guard later when awake again. I imagine that for yourself - if you stole milan’s money after you beat him, he may notice and put two and two together. Which leads me to believe this may be the best system I have ever witnessed
That’s a very good point!
Actually I robbed out all three to the shorts and let them in the near creekbed for a bath ^^
But that’s no issue since I figured out that the bounty of the town will disappear after a night full of sleep or so 
Just noticed the Codex Entry about Reputation & Crime:
-
So people are starting to forget your crime after a short while if you wer able to escape from the scene.
-
If you have stolen goods, people recognize it as stolen when you try to sell it. But if you sell it in another city, they might buy it. Depends on the distance to the spot where you‘ve stolen it. And also, people forget after a while that it was stolen.
P.S.
Just saw Milan. He‘s now wandering around in Rattay only in his sleeping pants since I‘ve robbed him. But he is very nice and forgiveable to Henry
