This is the experience that made me quit Morrowind back in the days before Oblivion. (on my first playthrough, no less!):

I was a lvl 5 Redguard and had just used a Silt Strider to get to a city (can't remember the name; the one where outlanders are distrusted.)  As all my Septims went to the travel fare, I was basically stuck in the city. Deciding I'd had enough of the cold welcome I received from virtually everyone I spoke with, I decided to kill someone. My target was an Altmer woman. I approached her from behind, out of sight of everyone, and smashed my fist into the back of her head. She somehow stayed conscious and started pummeling me! I ran out into plain view thinking the guards would kill her for assault. However, no one paid us any attention. I was left running through the streets like a madman trying to lose the demented wench. I jumped into the river and she immediately followed. A semi-underwater fistfight ensued and I emerged the victor, receiving a bounty in the process. I then took her clothes and all her valuables and escaped into the wilderness where I was slain by a pair of Khajiits.
