This lets the second guard "catch" me and take my bribe. If their arrows are gone I know I cannot bribe them again and I wait for another guard to be nearby. This lets me check their inventory before I commit a crime near them. To "mark" the guards I have bribed and pickpocketed I will steal their arrows along with their money. You can pickpocket your bribe money back from a guard. I have been unable to find specific equations for the cost of bribery but James has confirmed for me that it is somehow dependent on these 2 factors.

Your character level will raise the price of the bribes while your Speech skill level will lower the price. The size of the bribes you have to pay is dependent on two things. Unless you want to go to jail often you will need to take the bribery perk! You can get away with pickpocketing, lockpicking, assault or outright theft without having to do the dumb old "save before you steal" routine. Guards will "reset" in 2 days meaning you can bribe them again after they reset.īribing guards makes crime much more simple. If a bribed guard catches you committing another crime he will arrest you or attack if your crime is serious enough. You can bribe the other guards too but each guard can only be bribed once. Guards will say "Wait, I know you" when you walk by and may try to arrest you if your bounty is high. You will be able to bribe the guard to ignore the crime he is trying to arrest you for. This perk opens a dialogue option with Hold Guards. The first perk that helps a thief comes when Speech hits level 30 and you can take the Bribery perk. Well you are wrong on both accounts! In this post I will tell you about the benefits of the Speech skill, tell you what you can do with these benefits and even let you know how to level this skill to 100 in no time!Ĭriminals can benefit greatly from the Speech skill. You may believe perks placed in Speech are wasted. You may view Speech as an unnecessary skill for your characters.
