How to Avoid Guards in "Oblivion"
- 1). Avoid entering any of the cities in Cyrodiil. Guards stand at every entrance and they will arrest you on sight. Beware of huntsman guards who roam the forests, typically in the region of inns. As long as you stay at least 50 feet away from guards, they will not arrest you.
- 2). Bribe guards to avoid going to jail or paying a fine. When the guard approaches you, select the option to persuade him. Complete the speech craft mini-game to raise his disposition to 90. Once you raise his disposition, select the "Bribe" dialog option. The guard will let you go and your bounty will return to zero.
- 3). Resolve your bounty for free by allowing the guards to arrest you. When a guard approaches you, select the "Go to Jail" option. Once you serve your time in jail, your bounty will return to zero.
