Why Do I Keep Getting Arrested in Oblivion?

-

I’m new to playing Oblivion, especially the remastered version, and I’m having a frustrating problem with the guards. Every time I enter any city, I get arrested, even though I haven’t done anything wrong! At first, I’d just pay off the bounty, but now I’m broke with a 1,000 gold bounty and my skills are taking a hit every time I sleep through my sentence. It’s becoming really annoying because even if I serve my time, leave the city, and come back, I get arrested again immediately. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? It’s really ruining the fun for me.

This sounds annoying! I’ve heard joining the Thieves Guild can really help. You can pay off your bounty for just half the price if you go that route.

That’s a good idea! I’ll definitely give that a try; it would make things so much easier!

What race are you playing as? I have a similar issue as a native American character whenever I leave the reservation in the game.

Are you wearing the Gray Cowl? If not, it might be a serious bug you’re experiencing. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how to help with that. It sounds really frustrating!

No, I’m not wearing it. I guess I’ll just have to deal with it for now.
