Whenever you achieve Journeyman status during Speechcraft and receive the Journeyman message, you

automatically get a "DISPOSITION MAXED" message at the same time, no matter how low the disposition

is of the NPC. The NPC could have a disposition of ZERO, it will still tell you "DISPOSITION MAXED", and

exit the dialogue screen.

You are normally prohibited from resuming Speechcraft with a NPC once you are told his disposition is

MAXED, but in this case, it will let you resume Speechcraft a second time.

This seems like either a potential bug, or something that was done intentionally by the programmers.

Can anyone tell me if they know if this is a bug?

I've had lots of crashes in Oblivion, and I don't want to save my game when a bug has occurred.

Thanks in advance.
