When I enter Markarth Keep and get to the first set of stairs towards the King all the guards become hostile and start attacking me. Nothing happens until I reach this point, not even if I drag my weapon. As soon as I reach the stairs they attack me, with or without my weapon drawn. I only have an 5 gold bounty, and I haven't threatened anybody. What's wrong? Have anybody else experienced this?

    Have you recently been working on the Forsworn Conspiracy quest by chance?

  • possible duplicate of Can I secretly kill every guard in a town? The question name doesn't make it sound like a duplicate but if you read the answer you'll see why it's a dupe.

    @Katustrawfic having the same answer does not mean that it's the same question.

  • This was a recent quesetion... Brotherhood quests can affect this so can your level of Vampirism (more specifically, level 4).

Reset to default

Try committing a minor crime in the city(not the keep) so a guard approaches you in the usual manner. Pay off your bounty or go to jail either way your bounty should reset to zero, preventing this from occurring.

  • Worth noting that if you opt to do go to jail, you should remove any stolen items from your inventory, otherwise they'll be confiscated and you'll lose them.

  • @Alex Before the game decides to reset a chest I'd put my stolen stuff in "Evidence" anyday. The hardest part about getting it back is figuring out where the jail is.

  • "Had your stolen stuff stolen? Steal it back!" :) If I recall chests in your home never get reset, but with Skyrim's bugs anything is possible...
