So this is my first post, and i don't know if this has been resolved or there is a way to, but this markarth glitch has totally ruined the game for me. I don't want to start a new character at this point just yet, i still have alot to accomplish and i am close to restoring the thieves guild but i can't because i cant even step foot near markarth because i am alwalys wanted. I am a thane there and still can't get rid if this bounty. Bethesda pleeeeease fix this!!!

Can't you pay the bounty? Sorry, I know what glitch you're referring to now.

Blasphemy!

shouldnt this be in the software issues section? just asking... and i'd say yeah, just pay your bounty

That's most likely his problem, obviously.

Console fix?

ya didnt know where to post , but its kill on sight

Yeah I must say this one is totally borked. I haven't played the game since the 1.3.10 patch, but even trying to pay the fine ends up in a conversation loop. As in when I try to pay it (after exhausting every other option) the converation starts back at the beginning, no matter what I try.

Well if you're on a pc then it'll be easier at least.
killall

You could activate god mode whenever you go there?

Markath glitch?

*closes eyes*

No don`t tell me, I`ll find out by myself...

then go to prison

You got far enough to get the unpayable bounty. All I got was asked to join the Legion. Still, the other 299 hours of the game made up for that.
Oh, and welcome, have some http://www.jandersongallery.com/uploads/1/6/2/2/1622043/4377090_orig.jpg

Go to jail? You're given one lock pick to get out, or you can just wait it out and have one skill drop by 1.



Pretty sure you're SUPPOSED to go to jail with that quest anyway...

When I saw the title, I was like "noooot another whiner". Thankfully, its an actual issue, but don't you think the title is a little too extreme? I mean it's not Bethesda who ruined your game.

yes, the only way to advance this quest is to go to jail and see it through.

Attack the guards, then sheath you weapon, they should then haul you off to jail, worked for me

I had the same problem. But i fixed it, how?

The current guards wont let you alone, you need to replace them, so i went to complete the lberation of skyrim quests, yeah i joined the stormcloaks, so when i finally completed the markath region battles, the buggy guards where replaced with the stomcloaks guards, hell they even started calling me names. So this is how i fixed it. Maybe theres anoher way, but i didnt wanted to cheat. Besides, i never liked the imperials, so it was the perfect chance. You should try this.

Sounds like there's quite a few game-breaking bugs in the game, I keep hearing of more of them. Sad.

If you've done this quest "http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/No_One_Escapes_Cidhna_Mine" and you're still being attacked by the guards.. Try clicking on the link that I provided and then scroll down to the "Bugs" portion of the walkthrough as there are solutions to every platform. Hope this helps..

wow man, it worked!!!!!THANK YOU!!!SKYRIM IS NOW PLAYABLE AGAIN

LOL I HAD A BOUNTY OF 27500

I dunno. I can kind of see how releasing the Markarth equivalent of Usama Bin Laden from their very own Guantanamo Bay might just make you unwelcome there. Just saying. I didn't think of this as being any different than how in the Fallout games you can get yourself permanently banned from certain locations if you piss people off badly enough. I thought "Cool, I'm f***ing public enemy #1." and enjoyed the idea that our choices have real consequences. I was actually really disappointed to find out this was a bug.

But whatever. Whenever I go into Markarth, I just cut through guards until there aren't anymore. Problem solved.

I let their king go and didn't receive any bounty. The trick is not to join the Forsworn in the rampage. Stay hidden or, simply, go back to the ruins once the battle starts and wait for a few hours. When you go back, climb to the Jarl palace to get your parole. He will recognize that you're not responsible for the crimes happened in Markath (although he will not acknowledge the corruption of his brother and, if he still lives after the battle, he will be back to his usual dirty business).

People and guards in town will still comment how they saw you escaping with the Forsworn commenting that "several people died also because of you". The three guards at the temple of Talos will keep on respawning: this is a known bug; simply avoid that area or, if you must enter use the "kill all" console commands before they see you. Otherwise you'll get a bounty again. The guard threatening you outside the inn will also respawn even if killed or disabled via the console: this is another bug that waits to be fixed. Other than that, business is as usual in Markath. A shame all the Forsworn will remain hostile save for those in a cave. Bug or intentional?

The problem I see with having a permanent bounty is that Delphine will attack you on sight to the death if you have even so much as a 5 gold bounty in any of the holds.
