I killed someone as part of a quest in Gorhart. He wasn't an enemy per se (I sided with bandits on this one) so I incurred a bounty after I killed him. Here's what my current stats look like:
As you can see, my bounty is currently 5,292 because I assaulted and murdered an innocent. To my surprised, when I walked outside, directly after the murder, none of the guards seemed to care. No one rushed to arrest me. I even tried to talk to them to see if that would trigger something and that didn't work. Why aren't the guards doing anything?

I don't really think bounty really matters and paying fines or going to jail is pointless, it wont cause you many problems just to run away or keep killing guards and civilians. My current bounty is at 4 million and the only problems I face are when I try to re-enter a city that I recently killed a bunch of people in like the past hour or so, but the agro in the city fades away.
