Overview
Settles the player's outstanding bounty as if paying a guard, clearing the wanted status for the targeted crime faction. The arguments control whether you go to jail and whether stolen goods are removed, and which faction is paid. It is a cleaner, more lore-friendly way to wipe a bounty than setting crime gold to zero.
