I'll defeat this and NO i will not post this in the Cheats, spoilers, hints section because it was a question NOT meant as a spoiler. I would not get the question answered in that other section for people don't go there to answer questions, they go there for the cheats and hints. This is the general forums to ASK these type of questions. People who post here and read here should already KNOW that there may be spoilers.

So I guess never mind on my question. Silly me to think that a forum could be helpful.

uhm, you better put this into the spoiler section^^

you're risking a ban here according to the first sticky!

Personally If they fired first, defend yourself and loot what remains. Some quests can be "shortcutted" by picking up an item early and handing such items when the quest is discovered later. If it is a "clear out X" mission, the enemies will repop so you can finish. I could give out detailed examples, but I fear that a spoiler troll will eat me. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, lighten up with the whole anti-spoilerism. If spoilers are a problem for you, get off the internet and quit meta-reading about the game and just go play it. Sry had to vent about that a little, I'm good now.

Spoilers are pretty serious business re: video games. Make sure you're in the right forum

But yes, they should probably be playing the game

I agree, and as always will follow the forum rules. Just saying, this is the spoiler zone and the op was still warned, and warned about a post that I would argue contains no real spoilers anyways. It would be soo much easier to find useful info, and to contribute to our understanding of the game if we did not always have to beat around the bush when discussing in-game phenomena.
