Nope, nobody will help. However, your "follower" can't go in buildings, so either go somewhere to restore your gear or run in a mages guild and tele to a different town. Train up there, then come back when you can beat him.

It was because the devs didn't expect NPC fights to take place in towns, I believe. There's fixes around the internet, if you're on PC.

Guards aren't there to protect you, they're there to arrest you. :P

Guards will fight creatures. If you're attacked by a Cliff Racer, the guards will help if they're around. (Where's a cop when you need one?) But nobody will help you with hostile NPCs. Not even your friends.

This sounds like our own current world trends lately. Ha

I'm not sure. I think it comes with MCA. You don't need to ativate all of it if you don't want it, just the guard plugin.

Reminds me of the first time I played Morrowind, I happened across a certain battle mage on a bridge right above an Imperial Legion Garrison, so I thought I'd run for help, they didn't help, instead, after I was nearly killed in battle by this fierce battle mage, I bested him and they decided I commited a crime and came to arrest me. >.<

Usually the only time I'm in combat around guards now is when someone is trying to assassinate me, and I like to think that the guards don't get involved because "Holy crap, that's a bonefide assassin, I'm not paid enough for this, I'll just take a few steps in a random direction and protend I didn't see that." *whistle*

Too true - I got attacked at night in the Balmora Mages Guild and all my Guild-so-called- 'mates' just stood around whistling! Yeah, cheers guys, I'll be there for you too...!

Followers will help though, usually. I know this because I created ten companion orcs in full armor, and started fights and just let them finish it. :nuke:
