I'm delighted to see how many of you despise the Forsworn, just like me. I've played this game at a very slow, measured pace; I still haven't been to Solitude or Dawnstar, and I spend my time overwhelmingly in the eastern half of the province. I had barely been to the west at all, and had no dealings with the Forsworn, when one day I was exploring further west than usual and came to a large fort called Sungard. The instant the "Discovered:" message came up, 3 or 4 Forsworn came piling out and attacked me, for absolutely nothing. At that point I was still neutral in the civil war and had no position they could have taken issue with either way, but still they charged. The b@$tards were attacking Allie (my horse, whom I love dearly)! I got off Allie and tried to protect her but I was too slow - nuts as she is, she was fighting back hard instead of running away, and I couldn't save her. I watched in genuine horror as a female Forsworn took a big swing and brought her down. I killed the woman, then the others who'd attacked. Then I went into the fort and killed every single last one of them. Then I loaded my last save to resurrect Allie, rode back to Fort Sungard (leaving her in safe spot out of range), and killed them all again. Now I kill them whenever I can. On that mission where you break out of the silvermines with them, I must have killed at least 4 of them while the rest were distracted handling the Markarth guards. I want to wipe them off the face of Nirn.
I HATE them.
