in Elder Scrolls Online, you can steal things. And sometimes, you will get caught stealing. Usually, when this happens, NPCs will just be like âugh smhâ and youâll get a small bounty, which will eventually wear off.
But sometimes. Sometimes. NPCs will flip out and try to murder you for stealing. They will try to punch you until you die.
When this happens, you have a number of options:
Kill them. This is not ideal, however, because killing them will count as murder, even if it was in self-defense. Additionally, even if thereâs no one else around, killing them will still get you the murder bounty; it appears that they can be witnesses to their own murder.
Let them kill you. This is also not ideal, for obvious reasons, as your gear will get damaged and youâll have to spend gold to repair it.
Try to run. This is risky, however, because if youâre in a town, the guards might catch you. If the guards catch you, they will take all of your stolen loot, which is terrible. Itâs better to be killed than let the guards take your stolen loot.
Try to evade them and block their attacks until they get tired of trying to kill you and leave you alone. This generally works out pretty well; just run in circles and block their punches, and make sure to keep an eye on your stamina and health, and you should be fine.
Obviously, option number four is my preferred method of dealing with these situations. Itâs far less risky than running, wonât get you a horrifyingly huge bounty like killing them would, and you donât die.Â
So, just a little while ago, I got caught stealing something, and this dude flipped out and started punching me. So of course I tried to wait it out until he gave up by running in circles and blocking his attacks.
when you block someoneâs attacks in ESO, a small amount of damage is returned to them.
And, of course, I was keeping an eye on my own health bar and stamina bar. I was not paying attention to his health bar.
He punched me so much that he died.
Heâs dead. Heâs lying in a pool of blood because he would not stop punching me and he literally fucking died from punching me so much. He fucking punched himself to death and now heâs fucking dead he literally punched me and then dropped dead.
this still counts as murder.
I have been charged with murder because a dude attacked me and then punched me so much that he died.
