If you side with the Forsworn during the Markarth quests, will they still attack you? I'm still being attacked by all Forsworn except the ones in one location, I don't remember the name. Their king told me I was one of them though. Did I do something wrong?

They still attack you they live by a bite the hand that saves you philosophy.

I'm....not sure that makes sense.

Madanach and his group won't attack you, but the other Forsworn will. Bethesda didn't really flesh out the whole Forsworn faction, maybe for DLC.

It makes perfect sense. Madanach himself said that it will take years to re-organize the Forsworn into a true fighting force, right now, they are just loosely connected bandits with a cause. They're still awesome, though.

basically I have found no matter what you do for the forsworn they on the large part seem to forget or ignore the fact and still attack you on site.

As another poster said, the only group that won't attack you is madanach's own group. It does make a little sense that others would still attack you also, as yet another poster already pointed out, madanach said himself it will take time to reorganize the forsworn forces under one banner.

Actually, I don't think it's ever stated that not all forsworn follow madanach. The quote I think he / she is confusing this for is when Madanach says it will take time for them to organize an attack to retake the reach. I really dont see a reason the other forsworn will still attack you sighr. It makes your choices have really underwhelming and...frankly half-assed consequences. What's the harm in making them friendly? There's plenty of other enemies in this game to fight
