Some things in Skyrim just seem unfinished to me.
I just had a quest where I needed to get some helmet from an old boat. I walked to the boat and saw an Argonian guy sitting near a campfire. But I couldn't actually talk to him, which really irritated me. There didn't seem to be a helmet in the boat so I figured my Argonian friend had it. As I couldn't ask him for the helmet or buy it from him I killed him in his sleep, expecting to find the key for his locked chest. He didn't have one? How the hell do you lock a chest without a key?
Helmet was in the chest though, but this quest could have been a lot more than this :(

That reminds me of one of the good thing in WoW: you could ask the guards for directions to pretty much everything.
I haven't been in Solitude yet though, so I don't know.

Or when you walk past one, they assume I'm asking about "my stolen shweetrohl"...

Rock, Paper, Shotgun linked to a Full 3D Map mod on Skyrim Nexus, I'll just post the link here for those interested.

That's pretty cool. Looks a little buggy though.

Has anyone figured out how to remove a bounty? I had to serve time because I couldn't figure it out. I also hear that if you are Thane you can just tell the guard and he will leave you alone. I am Thane but I did not get the option to tell him so I had to go to jail. I killed a noble for his horse nowhere near Whiterun but I guess word travels. Then his horse ran away after a tried to fight a giant...  :-[

Different cities track crimes differently. The guards in Riften may not care what you did in Whiterun, but the guards in Solitude might.

Also, if you approach a guard of the place your bounty is for, you can offer to pay it instead of going to jail. Straight up murder is a bounty of 1200ish I think.

Yeah that really breaks the immersion for me tbh. I walked into a city and murdered an important member of the imperial legion for a quest, paid a guard like 1100 gold and then went to take a nap at the inn. Seriously?

Heh!

I can't even think about playing this game until I upgrade my graphics card SIGNIFICANTLY.

I didn't think I'd fall so far behind graphics cards in only two years.

Also when I played the game at a friends I noticed something about the interface... WOW do I hate it (It tells me this game was made for the Xbox360 first and ported to the PC.). Though given my friend... There may be a reason why.

That is nothing. In Oblivion you can go on a murderous rampage killing hundreds of people (thanks to a never depleting guard population) and even though you could never pay off the price. Your jail time will still be very relaxed.

For some reason the only options I had were to serve time or resist.

Oh, and does anyone know when the Creation Kit is supposed to be released??

haha Well what was the bounty for murder in Oblivion? Something like 100 gold?  At least it has been increased to something that might put a dent in a player's pocket.

'Sup money.
I did something like that, except with potions instead of gems.  I must have spent a half an hour precisely placing all my potion surplus on the shelves next to that table.

When I left and came back it looked like the place exploded.  Potions of everything everywhere.  There was a minor healing potion stuck in the rafters around the sides of the ceiling.  Only places that didn't contain potions were the places I had put them all.
