Well... i asked for a job and i got a letter telling me to take down a bandit chief. When i got the bandits were quite nice to me. They all said "guard" as their ID. I kinda regret killing them. And no i didnt get a bounty.

Were the Bandits hostile or were they friendly?

By hostile I mean did they appear as red dots on the compass indicating enemies. I don't know of any bandits being the friendly type. Especially ones you're specifically sent to kill.

What location were these bandits in?

nope not at all. they were just doing their normal bandit thing.. like choppig wood and sitting around. they did respond to me in "friendly tones"

Wow, that's weird. I don't think that's ever happened to me. It's funny how you just killed them anyway, lol.


What location was this? I'd really like to check it out. If you don't remember check the letter they gave you telling you that sent you on this quest.
