Starfield has a jail system more similar to Skyrim's prison than Fallout 4's Commonwealth, Bethesda has revealed.
In a Discord Q&A on Wednesday, Bethesda explained how Starfield deals with criminals, and it does indeed sound pretty similar to Skyrim. If you're caught committing crimes, you'll have the option to surrender and go to jail for an unspecified period of time, or pay a fine. Or, if you really like to live life on the edge, you can try to resist arrest and make a run for it, but consequences for a failed escape would presumably be even more dire than the jail sentence you originally had.
