I just murdered everyone in the Friendly Arm Inn, and NOBODY cared about it.

I was kinda bored and created an evil assassin to have some fun. In the beginning I just run through the areas till I reached Friendly Arm. I went to the temple there and backstabbed the priestess. She didn't die and summoned a dire wolf and ran out of the temple. I went after her, all the guards outside saw it, and for my surprise they remained friendly and came to help me with the dire wolf. I said okay, I might be tired and these things do happen.

Now to the really interesting part:

I went into the Friendly Arm Inn, where I killed one peasant. No one seemed to care, so I went on and murdered everyone one by one. NOBODY turned hostile. I left two people alive. The barkeeper, and Dorn. Both remained friendly. I then stepped to Dorn, and with an elegant move stabbed a nice dagger in his back. He said something about how hurt he was but remained friendly. So I stabbed him a couple of more times and he dropped dead. At the end, I found my way to the only person alive in the place through the dead bodies; the barkeeper. I asked for a nice jar of ale, quit playing and came here to complain.

Current Behavior: Citizens of the Friendly Arm are suspiciously friendly towards a mass murderer assassin. He had a charisma of 18, but come on?!

Expected behavior: I would expect a few slaps on my face, and maybe red circles under the dwellers of the Friendly Arm Inn's feet.

Tomorrow *Yank* (name of my assassin) might demonstrate this incident in a short video unless I'll be told to be cool, since this is absolutely normal. In the latter case, I think I'll grab a beer and re-think my life.

    Tried this out, the patrons didn't go hostile but the non sitting ones did run away and eventually some mercenaries appeared at the door to end me. Dorn's reaction is entirely within character.

    Edit: Except for the bit where he doesn't kill you for hitting him. That bit'll need fixing.

    I for one like the feature where not everyone turns red when you kill someone. It makes sense that no peasants would want to get involved in a barfight where someone gets killed, but instead would rely on the guards. Everyone turning hostile in the old game made little sense, as from the perspective of the peasant they were just defenseless and asking to be killed. There are a lot of disadvantages to the old system, you may try to pickpocket someone in a dark corner only to find that somehow the entire town has gone hostile when you failed.

    Just saying my piece, however, this overall doesn't make sense and I of course agree with the OP. It requires a bit of extra coding for those who want to go around killing people ( which never worked too well in the old game either ), but you would expect guards to be called, certain NPC's (I.E. - Dorn) to get involved.

    I mostly like the advantages to pickpocketing due to not everyone going hostile.

    Please do not modify this: you get -8 reputation for this. The World cares SOME. :)

    The best solution would be similar to stealing from containers:
    - Someone calling Flaming Fist patrol if you kill innocent.

    Well but still, Dorn should at least defend himself. I just walk up to him, start stabbing like crazy, he gets hit and still doesn't turn hostile so I just hit him till he drops. That's weird.

    If I pick up Khalid and Jaheira and let's say attack Jaheira while they are both in my party, Khalid just stands there doing nothing. If I kill Jaheira, Khalid goes like "Oh Jaheira... something like that" and still doesn't turn against me.

    When I start killing citizens, sometimes (rarely) some of them turns hostile, but others remain neutral. There are even pals running screaming for help but they still have the blue circles under them and I can still walk up to them and initiate a dialog or buy an ale if it happens to be the barkeeper.

    If this meant to be like this, please let me know. I might change my "paladin only" CHARNAME mentality and turn to the dark side.
