So, I'm watching my husband play, he's in the wilderness down south. Encounters a cage with a wolf standing outside it whining. He opens the cage, the wolf walks in. Two enraged trappers run out of the woods and attack him. We were a little perplexed so I looked this up, and apparently the wolf is supposed to spawn IN the cage, and you can let it OUT. It was a bit odd finding a wolf whining to be let into a cage and trappers angry that you put the wolf in the cage.

He left the wolf lying happily in his open cage and walked off, whereupon an Orc lady came sailing out of the sky and landed splat on the path in front of him. Looked around to see if she had been giant-launched and in fact there was a giant nearby, so he killed it. Again, a brief search of her name reveals that the lady is supposed to be spawned in fighting the giant - you can help her - and she has a quest to give you. So he consoled her back to life, whereupon she starts sneaking, and if you talk to her, all she says is "You're not supposed to be here," as if you were trespassing in a house.

In the middle of the outdoors. It is apparently her outdoors, and we don't belong in it.

We left her skulking in the middle of the woods.

Oh, the Rift, land of infectious disease and thieves... and strange, strange, AI disturbances.

Yeah, I was just in the Rift. I saw a wizard a an encampment/settlement casting Ice Spike on a giant. So I thought "Hey! I'll help that giant, cause they're peaceful." So I start shooting the wizard with my bow, but then the giant starts movig towards me to attack! Somehow the (locked) door to this place got opened, so I run inside hoping to get away from the giant, but the wizard is still casting spells at me, and then in flies a frost dragon.

I also passed by a fort where some bandits had a few tamed wolves with them, and the bandit chief chastised me for killing the wolves before he attacked me.
