For killing the Emperor's pet dragon. He had raised that dragon since it was born, and I killed it like it was nothing. In my defense it was flying around looking all menacing, I thought it might try and eat me.

He quietly and politely debated the downsides to declaring war on everyone. Unfortunately for everyone else, this was Skyrim, where the only way to get your point across involves large axes being stabbed into peoples faces, and drinking contest. His lack of desire to do either, and instead try for polite and reasoned debate had him arrested for heresy and contempt.

Soaked a cat in paraffin and glued it to the behind of his king while he slept. Lit the cat and hilarity ensued.

Well, I don't know much about the games, but if I were being lead to my death, it would be because I tried to enact genocide against all those cat and lizard people from Oblivion.

He got intoxicated on public property. This was on a day where a noble family were riding along, Angry at the cost of beer in the town he threw the beer at the nobles head, He got pissed and... Well that leads to his coming death.

Let's find the ol' rap sheet, shall we?

Having public sex with inanimate objects.

Breaking Humpty Dumpty's shell beyond any feasible reparation.

Stealing everything in sight. Would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling telepathic guards!

Killing everything in sight, 7,372 counts of murder. The only known solution for telepathy.

Eating the kings' cake and pissing in his cereal.

Scaring small children at carnivals.

Eating above mentioned small children.

Necrophilia. It's a dark elf thing.

Public defecation.

Bestiality.

Traffic violations. I brought a car into Cyrodiil using my handy dandy notebook time machine, and now they've developed traffic laws to stop me using it.

Whittling a wooden figurine of the kings' wife being banged by several men and at least one woman.

And the list goes on.

Is there anyone in this thread who WASN'T arrested for steamy sex with a royal?
ME! ME!

My guy was arrested for not only being a highwayman, but for also breaking into the imperial palace and stealing a variety of incredibly valuable artefacts and heirlooms. He was caught crossing the border to skyrim, where he planned to sell these items to the black market for a hefty price.

He also kicked a high ranking chancellor in the nads on his way out of the palace.

For being such an indecisive tosspot, for joining all possible factions and for switching between magic, stealth, melee and bow all within the same fight.

That, or maybe they found the massive amount of loot and corpses he had stashed away in his house back in Oblivion.

Jaywalking.

Yup, there's a pretty harsh police on jaywalking in Skyrim.

Since my moral compass is always friggin attuned to good in video games i'll go with "unjustly accused". My character is a Female Nord Sword wielder, so it's entirely possible that she kicked some ass and cracked some skulls.

he noticed how in the past every big ass hero were sentenced to death and so he just went up to the next best guy and slit his throat.

That's much better.

Depends on what character I'm playing as.

If I'm an archer thief, then he broke into a noble's house and was caught rifling through the silverware.
If I'm playing a mage, then he accidentally killed his master when one of his spells went wrong.



Those are the two I usually play as, but I have a couple of others prepared.

A petty criminal who sold weak poisons as "health drinks".
An uncivilised barbarian who liked to smack serving girls on the rear as they passed. But one of them turned out to be a visiting Duchess.


I tend not to play as really evil characters, as I just can't get immersed in it. I guess I'm just too nice a guy! But just in case . . .

A scheming "Grand Visor" character, who has been steadily poisoning the king's mind until he was completely unfit for rule. I also killed off the true heir to the throne soon after birth. However, I left some incriminating evidence behind which was recently discovered. This lead to my arrest, trial, and sentencing.

He got into a shouting match with the Hero of Kvatch and ended up destroying half of Cyrodil in the ensuing brawl. Since he was the one that wasn't a celebrity, he was led off to a remote location to die, except the other protagonist just so happened to be the Madgod as well, and only ordered him to "die" there so that he would be in the right place at the right time to save the world. He, on the other hand, was collecting all the cheese in the world and was much too busy to be heroing about.

Something like casual arson, or horrible candybowl manners.

To be fair. He was warned.
