Overview

Sets the crime bounty the player owes, which can be used to clear a wanted status by setting it to 0 or to test guard reactions by raising it. In Skyrim bounties are tracked per faction, so you may need to target the right crime faction for the hold. Setting it to 0 is the quick way to wipe a bounty. For a roleplay alternative, pay it off with paycrimegold.
