I have been told that this is a issue potentially introduced by Beamdog, but id like to report it nonetheless.
It's like 3 weeks Im having issues with PCs and NPCs alike, by either having them hostile for no reason, or not being able to hostile them if i want to (and vice versa they couldn't do it on me)

- first i met a PC, i had her immediately hostile, she didn't hostile me, i didn't hostile her. I PM her, she was surprised as i was.
- secondly, i had a scene with a MPC, she had to turn hostile on me and i would have to turn myself hostile on her but we mutually couldn't, so we had to navigate thru the radial menu and attack each other manually
- lastly, the day after that, i have been randomly attacked by the Vallaki NPC Garda after standing all day on the outskirts turf RP XP farmchatting. In the evening i was alright, in the morning they turned on me. OCR 8, Radu still neutral. Situation defused by a PC Garda that moved me to the outlander faction/ he said I was probably faction hostile. No wanted/summons on me.

This is the report. No idea if anything can be done. Also, I would appreciate a guideline on how to behave if the garda NPC turns hostile for no reason. Iwas and am reasonably convinced it was due to a bug, so i wonder if could just disconnect or if i have to RP around the bug and make things potentially worse.


Character List:

Marph - Closured
Marius Rucescu - Closured
Romeo Lascaris - Closured

If you are walking around and lots of PCs and NPCs appear red, its usually advised to restart your client. As far as I know this has been a bug that has been around for a while, happening intermittently.

it happened so often in a very short period of time, so i thought to let people and the power-that-be know.

Yup it will reliably happen if you don't restart NWN completely after each log in session.

This is a Beamdog issue so nothing to be done here. I'll move this to fixed.
