Hey, So as most of you know sometimes a group of hunters may find you in the wilderness and ask you to help them kill a netch, i just liked those creatures and hated how these little [censored]ers round up on them and attack them every time, so every time i see hunters picking up on netches i just kill them instead and protect the netchs, i know it may sound stupid but i hate these nords, if they wanted to test themselves they should find some one competent to fight,rather than killing those defenceless creatures, so anyway i was visiting the Skaal village today, and suddenly they all started attacking me including Frea, i would not have attacked those hunters had i known they were connected to the Skaals.. I know they have the same clothes but i thought that was just because they were nords,

so i came to the village and all the skaal there started attacking me, then soon those little Rieklings rushed in to aid me, and since most of the Skaal are tagged as essential i now have an endless battle between them and the rieklings, anyway to fix this? i already saved my progress so reloading a previous save file isn't an option i wanna do right now, unless i don't have another choice.

I'd imagine it's because you've been killing their hunting parties. Usually when you do that, the small, isolated villages that the hunters live in take umbrage to you slaughtering their kin.

Beyond that, I've never... explored you particular series of actions, so I have no idea how to fix this. Sorry, OP.
