I've been attacking things close to cities, when villagers try to "help". Then I accidentally hit them and they go aggro on me. So, is there anyway to get them to stop, besides the Calm spell?

sometimes you've just gotta hit her to show her who is boss! – ronnie Dec 30 '11 at 8:48

You can Yield to them by sheathing your weapon. Note that you may still have a bounty for the assault you've just committed that you'll have to deal with. If you aren't in tight with the Thieves Guild and/or have a low Speechcraft skill, this might end up costing you any stolen items you happen to be carrying.

I didn't commit a crime, I just was killing bears or other things that came after me in the wild. So sheathing will definitely work if I didn't commit a crime? – Jonny B Dec 29 '11 at 23:18

Hitting a civilian - even if you did it accidentally while killing a bear - is often considered an assault, which carries a 40 gold bounty. Sheathing will cause him to end hostilities, but the next time you talk to a guard in that hold, they'll demand that you pay up. – LessPop_MoreFizz Dec 29 '11 at 23:20

The Imperial power Voice of the Emperor or a calming spell will make them forgive you. Also, you can sheath your weapon (usually R or Square), this indicates you're not here for fighting, and then it's up to the NPCs AI to determine if you are still a threat.

He did say he was looking for a solution other than 'that one illusion spell'. – LessPop_MoreFizz Dec 29 '11 at 23:13

When you commit a crime in whatever city you're in, leave for a bit, go adventure, come back but don't talk to any guards (a way to getting as far away from jail cells or paying bounty)

Try leaving the village or location where you were attacked, fast travel to another non-nearby location and wait for at least 48 hours, then go back. The villagers should have put down their torches and pitchforks by then and should have calmed down.
