Killed an Ordinator...

[Marathon]

The one by the slaver in Molag Maar. I taunted the slaver into attacking hoping I could get a key from him to free his slaves, but no luck. Anyay, there is a small chest right next to him I tried to open (w/o success) and at that the Ordinator attacked. Now that I've killed him, will they all attack me on sight? I am level 14 - probably not high enough level to fight them all off.

well, i hope you saved first. first off, you're going to have to pay a fine (drop all your stolen goods first) then you'll have to see about the other ordinators. i dont know, in this case.

i was level 19 and by sheer luck i have killed 1 ordinator (sword skill at 100 light armour at 90+ and having 92 strength and 100 agility). But maybe i am a bad player, and i was a closed space anyway. I had less than 100 hp though, so maybe it is the answer.

Well, I went to Vivec, payed my fine and was thanked by the Ordinator there for turning myself in with no mention of the killing.

Baron - I think the only reason I was able to kill him at level 14 was my full set of ebony armor and Umbra blade - perfectly equipped to stand toe to toe as long as there is only one after me.

Well, if you join the Imperial Legion watch out for this. Spoilers but useful tip.

There is a quest where an Imperial murderer is hiding in Vivec. You have to bring him back to ebonhart so he can receive a fair trial. When you rescue him, and walking him out of the Arena Canton, don't talk to any ordinators in Vivec at all. Otherwise, they attack you. Well i did it by accident and when they dropped an ebony mace (i use maces), I was like "cool" and I picked it up and saved. Little did I know it doomed me forever.

So I go back to Ebonhart and finished the quest. Sometime later, I go back to Vivec and now every Ordinator is after me. Every single one in the game. And I can't end it no matter what, because it is because I helped that prisoner escape and there is no bounty on my head. So I played the whole game with Ordinators attacking me on sight. Trust me, even though you can kill them, it gets annoying when everytime you go to Vivec either for storyline or for fun, you get raped by ordinators.

So, the moral of the story is do not talk to any ordinators in that quest.

I've killed several Ordinators on that quest and didn't have problems.
Is it possible you were wearing some Indoril armor when you talked to the ordinator? You're forced to kill two in that mission, so you can pick it up, and it's pretty good armor so you might have tried to wear it.

Yeah, you are good if you kill those two ordinators. They really don't care, and i was carrying anything indoril. Its if you talk to the ordinators, they say something to you and then attack. Once that happens, your screwed for life.

Im sure it doesnt matter if you kill an ordinater before saying you resist arrest,becuase i killed one at around level 7 with a sneak shot and backwards running+fire and he went down pretty quick.The fine was only 40 gold and i am a theives guild member in good standing,so they had the price removed for me for 20,and i kept all my stolen goods-Thatd be all my armour execpt my greaves,my soul gems worth 60 and 50k and almost evrything i own.Dont fret about killing an gaurd or ordinater evry one in a while.
