Every Crime You Can Commit In Skyrim (& How Much Your Bounty Is)
In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, players can commit various crimes, and each one incurs a bounty of a certain amount of gold. How much depends on the crime, with bounties ranging from a few gold pieces to 1000. If they don't want to have a price on their heads, however, they can utilize stealth to make sure that they're not witnessed breaking the law.
Skyrim places a heavy emphasis on freedom of choice, and part of that is allowing players to be any kind of Dragonborn that they want, including a criminal. Stealing, breaking and entering, and even murder are all available options for those on a quest to be the bad guy in Skyrim.

Although committing crimes has consequences, they're relatively minor and are dealt with easily. If the bounty is small enough, then the guards of Skyrim's holds will simply ignore the player for a while so long as they don't break the law further.
