The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

THE BUZZ: The recently leaked game manual for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has revealed some new details regarding the crime and punishment system.

If you are witnessed committing a crime you can prevent it from being reported by chasing down the witness and killing them, if you fail to stop them you will get a bounty placed on your head and the police will track you down. The following things are classed as a crime:

• Stealing Items or Horses
• Pick-pocketing Items
• Picking a lock
• Starting a fight or killing a non-aggressive character

EGM’s TAKE: This is probably the most in-depth crime and punishment system in gaming to date, and should make things more realistic.
