Sog Mead attacking random!

Post by Daboa »

I just started a new game and I just robbed (after stopping the robbery of) the Shrouded Hills bank. Now whenever I go outside of the bank, Sog Mead attacks guards and Doc Roberts. I don't know what's going on! Help!

You don't know why Doc Roberts is attacking you, after robbing the bank he's charged to protect? Do I have that right?

Did you enter combat when you robbed the bank? If so, you were caught and consequently, everyone hates you for steeling sfa. If you weren't caught, you should be okay. However, if you haven't seen the guy by the time the days past, he will tell Doc also.

BTW it isn't that far, so a restart may be necessary if its only a bug.

Edit - Ah now I see your predicament. Well thats just the fact they knew you robbed it. Sorry to say. May have to restart

Yep. He did the deed, now he's taking the knocks for it. :D I know of no cheats that will get you out of this, but fortunately for you, it's still very early in the game. You should be able to start from an earlier saved game without much loss.

I've seen him attack even while helping him defend the bank against robbers, but maybe I misclicked or smth.

On a note <spoiler>

Once I did steal the safe combination and hit road. Then I returned and everything was still well. On the third time though, when I tried to enter the town Doc Roberts and two town guards had killed the bridge thieves (I still go the fate point when I walked up to them though) and were hostile towards me. When I checked the journal it said the town hated me for robbing their bank. xD

Best way to loot the thing imo is to rat out Bens and everyone is happy.

Well

Any robbery is best done at night.

The bank lady's key to the vault is easily pickpocketed when she's asleep. Even if you have no skill you can succeed after a couple or three tries. Save first.
