So I know that talking to a guard clears a bounty by either paying a fine or going to jail, but what if instead of picking either I clicked B (XBOX 360), exited the conversation and now I can't talk to any guards to clear it up. I did this in Whiterun, so know I can't really continue any of my quests on this guy (I've barely slayed the first dragon but I'm trying to join the Companions on this guy). Downside is I can't even go to Riverwood or any other city populated by these guards. I've tried pulling out my weapon and unsheathing it multiple times but that still doesn't work. In fact, just a few minutes ago I was running away and ran past Pelagia Farm (outside Whiterun) and was attacked by a dragon. Worst dragon battle yet. Had to reload the game multiple times because the guards would always attack me, not the dragon, and of course the dragon wouldn't kill the guards. A few times a random giant joined in on the fun and attacked me. This convinced me to ask you guys, so any suggestions?

BTW, sorry for the rambling.

Try attacking the guards, then sheathing your weapon, if that doesnt work load a save farther back.

lol. I think we're f'ed. I made a run to the Dragonsearch to talk to the Jarl and picked up all the guards that could keep up. Once I got to the Dragonsearch, I approached the Jarl and he took out his sword and started hitting me, I turned around and was surrounded by 20+ guards and assistants.

WIN! Not sure if this will work for you since I only had a 40 gold bounty for hitting a kid (lol) but I traveled to Windhelm since it wasn't under whiterun control (I used the carriage outside Whiterun) then fast traveled back to whiterun. I talked to the first guard inside the gate and he did the whole "Wait I know you" dialogue and I cleared my bounty. Try it. You may need to return, then sheath your weapon if your crime is high enough, but it should work... plus rep if it did lol jk (not really... plus rep....)

Easy. All you do Is go out into the wild and jump off the biggest cliff you can find.
Joke!
Go into the wild and wait 3 days (To speed up waiting time while waiting hit the xbox button and the time will go 3x faster)
after you've waited, go into a city with your weapon SHEATHED and they will not attack you. and 'arrest' you

You always want back up saves. I used to do what you do (on Oblivion) and got really far then the save corrupted.
