Those "Companions" and "Quest NPC's" wandering the wilderness, I've at least mistaken 2 or three for bandits and shot them. How many times has this happened to others I wonder? In a world so hostile, its hard to take the chance to walk up and say hello when most things want to kill you. I find with harder NPC's surprise is everything.

Quite a few times, my character isn't built for close combat so if I can't get close enough to stab them in the back I have to shoot them from afar. That ocassionally means that you're putting an arrow in someone who had no hostile intentions

None. . .


accidentally.

*cough cough* :whistling:

I don't surprise attack anyone unless I absolutely know they're an enemy. However I find it extremely annoying having to be in someone's face before they decide they should kill me or not. -_-
You would think even 10 feet away they would decide but no, only when I'm practically kissing them.

I've taken out quite a few mercs by accident, but I attacked a few travilers on purpose, luckily for them I spare the woman, my faithful companions on the other hand don't have the same level of honor I have.

been a couple of times that Iv killed a stormcloak soldier or Legion soldier only to have everybody turn on me. Not my fault he stepped in front of my power attack.

I saw members of the Legion gank a Dawnstar Guard randomly, was the weirdest thing I've seen thus far in terms of NPC behaviour.

Shoot everyone.

No questions asked.
