I'm not sure if this is a bug/glitch or something I screwed up, but I have this NPC, who just attacks everything in sight (except me). It attacks even my dismissed followers (but ONLY once dismissed).
The factions the NPC is in are: -1 Current Follower 0 Potential Follower 0 Potential Marriage 0 Town Falkreath
Relationship level is ally, "Parent" = Player, "Child" = NPC, no association type. Disposition 75.
