Hello all

Im new on here and I didnt see a welcome section so Ill just dive right in!

Ive revisited morrowind after some 8(?) years. Its still brilliant, even vanilla. I even installed Daggerfall with Dosbox recently...ahh those were the days...

Anyway Ive noticed a problem. During the House Redoran quest where you have to free the Councillors son (Sarethi?) from Venim Manor, the guards in the room containing the cell shouted some insults and attacked me, however after the first blow they put their swords away and wandered off (Just a good beating was punishment enough, apparently)

In the entrance hall the guards attacked me and fought to the death as normal.

After this I didnt notice anything else similar until I started the Fighters Guild quest from Mercius to kill Hard-Hart's supporters. I went to Balmora to kill Fire Eye but she didnt attack me. After consulting UESP it says she should attack you on sight. Whats happened? Is there a patch I can run?

Ive got both expanisons installed and the only mod im running atm is Better Bodies.

I suppose I could temporaily increase my Speechcraft in the console and taunt her but I can see the problem cropping up in future.

Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: Small spoiler

The AI of NPCs is easily one of the most silly things in Morrowind. Meaning, that it's unpredictable and not always perfect.. so weird things happen sometimes.
Have you done the Bitter Cup quest? I recall that can cause some issues with her.

But I strongly recommend installing the MW Code Patch and the MW Patch Project. They fix thousands of problems with the main game, and create much needed stability for save files.
