I have looked all over for some official info on this but it seems nowhere to be found. Can anyone help me out?
CRIME
I cant really figure out the concrete rules for the crime system. It seems buggy and like it makes up the rules as you go along. For instance, is a crime witnessed a permanent mark against you? It seems like once you are caught even if you kill/knock out that person you are always reported.
Am i to understand that the basic rule is never get seen or caught because if you do the jigs up for good? Seems to be that way.
Respawn
The consensus here seems to be 10 days. But is this for every NPC or only named ones? If I continually kill guards will they just keep coming back again and again?
Merchant Chests
This is another area of the crime system that is stumping me. I know that merchants supposedly keep their whole stocks in certain chests but these always seem to be very hard locks that they dont have keys to? Shouldn’t a merchants trunk key open all of their chests?
Does anyone have some solid-developer backed answer to these? Or a decent guide? Because a lot of what i see is he said she said and its like no one is sure.
Apologies if this is posted somewhere and I am too dense to find it. I’m sure I’m not the only one wondering about some of this? Any help would be appreciated!
