oblivion

If I click resist arrest in oblivion, is there any way to surrender? the other option is to lose two hours of work

Not that I'm aware of. You can, potentially, run away - far away. It's possible to make it into another city, visit the Thieves' Guild and pay off your bounty. If you're not a Thieves' Guild member, this is not an option in all likelihood.

The best thing to do is quicksave more often, especially before entering an area where you will be trespassing.

Hold block, then try to "use" the attacking guard. He'll ask you to turn yourself in, again.

This is also how you stop all "accidental" fights (eg. hitting a friendly in a laggy fight)

yea, I found that little tip luckily, during a load screen.

If they like you enough they will let you yield. extremely helpful...saves alot of reloads

Well, I have a good mod which makes the guards so they aren't psychic... what I mean is, guards from a mile away can't hear you - say if you're fighting a guard inside somebody's house. I'll have to find the link...
Here you go old chap, found it with a quick google: http://www.tescreens.be/oblivionmodwiki/index.php/No_Psychic_Guards
