Resisting to the arrest will result in a long chase and guards will be even more aggressive against you the next time. If you get caught by guards, it's highly advisable to pay your fee if you can afford it. Remember that if nobody sees you nobody will seek you: a perfect theft at night, or an assassionation done with no witnesses, will usually not increase the bounty on your head. Viceversa, for bounties lower than 500 Gold you can be caught only if you approach guards on purpose (or if you commit a crime and someone calls the guards because he sees you). If your bounty exceeds 500 Gold (the currency of the game, also known as 'Septims'), Guard will actively seek for you, trying to send you to jail. It's not uncommon that a quest from the 'bad organizations' requires you to put your membership for the other guilds at risk, especially the Mages Guild since you have to sneak inside the Mages Guild quarters multiple times, and if you get caught you'll get expelled.Д¬ommitting crimes will also raise your bounty and the guards will be aggressive towards you. Since the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood quests often require you to break the law with thefts and assassinations, you should focus on completing the Arena, Fighters Guild and Mages Guild before focusing on the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood quests. In other words, every person you find in the street is a 'NPC', from the guards to the beggars, from the shopkeepers to the random thieves in the woods. It's used to indicate every 'form of intelligence' of the game, excluding your own character.

It's possible to change the gameplay difficulty at any time: press Start to open the menu, select 'Gameplay' and you will find the difficulty settings among the other gameplay options. The purpose of the map is to let you know in advance which locations you'll need to discover in your journey to the 1,000 G (the DLC takes place elsewhere), so in case you want to spend some time discovering all these places one after another (so you don't have to discover each of them every time you have to start a new quest, breaking the flow of the gameplay) you know where to go. In particular, all the locations related to the main quest and quest-lines which earn achievements have been added with a red square and a yellow number which refers to the legend on the right side. Here you can find a customized map of Cyrodiil ( click here for a lower zoom level), the world of Oblivion (it's in black&white for contrast reasons, in case you wonder), with all the main locations marked on the map. In particular, it's advisable to save the game before starting every quest, and it's also a good idea to make backups every 10 completed quests or so - you never know. Although the game-breaking glitches are rare, to be safe it's always a good idea to save the game on different slots every now and then, so in case something bad happens you have a nice backup ready to be used. There are many, countless small bugs that may trigger, sometimes creating funny situations, sometimes preventing you from continuing quests (even main storyline quests) with all the nuisance associated to this.
