Enraged Commoner

[DiegoBastet]

Oh gods, why did he attack me? Was something like the sort "You can't get my cow back from the big, fat griffon! I will kill you with my bucket!!!" thing? Without more jokes, here is the format.


Bug Report

Character: Eliza

Time: Around 3:28 pm GMT, 16 / 07 / 2007

Description: The commoner Patrick Borden seemed to be on the Hostile faction or set Eliza to hostile and ran to attack Eliza, my character. I evaded him and went out of town, then came back and he did the same. I took a screen of it to show. No other NPC was Hostile.

Location: Fort Homestead.

Verified: Screenshot added.

Reproducable: Went to town two times and was attacked two times.

Did you accidently kill something like a non-hostile cow/ox/mink/otter type creature?  Attacking anything that is not preset to hostile makes ALL non-hostile NPCs and creatures hostile towards you...  

(Ex.  mug someone on the street, the cops come after you )

That's only partly accurate...

Not everything are grouped together in the same faction (or same "group" of factions), so while one would get the cows after one if one killed a chicken, it's very possible that the pawn shop guy won't care.

That could at least explain why the cows are calmly mooing by themselves without participating in the chase also!

But otherwise... it's as ShiffDrgnhrt asked... Did you kill/attack/pickpocket any NPC in that area? And is it like this for that person everytime you visit the area (even after server restarts)? It could also be that a DM accidently changed the faction of the very hostile NPC...

hehe thanks for clarifying that Weebs, I dont know much game mechanics, just basics

I still have to see it, if it keeps like this even with the server restarted. But I did not kill any poor animal (well, I did, sometimes, but not his cows...).

In the end, it was really fun...
