Non-agressive bandits/criminal
« on: August 21, 2014, 08:20:25 pm »
I recently started playing DF, and I think I have most of the functions and controls down, so hopefully i haven't made a noob mistake, but I'm having an issue in DF where I would be told about a bandit camp in location X, and upon going to location X, find that the occupants of said camp are non aggressive. This has happened three or four times in just this one save and it's becoming infuriating because I can't get glory from killing innocents. Can someone help me fix this issue?
Also, I'm currently in a Kobloid camp, which I've been told is a 'skulking vermin' camp. However the kobloids aren't aggressive, and will not respond to any dialogue I attempt to initiate. I even stole from them in an attempt to illicit a reaction, to no avail.
Can someone help me with this? I'm really enjoying the game and this particular save I have achieved considerably more than any previous.
Thanks

It's happened to me too, but don't worry, if you have quests to kill them, then by all means go ahead and kill them, they're still bandits/kobolds and you will still earn a positive reputation.

I think they don't attack once you have murdered civilians, so that way you can kind of be a bandit yourself.

Not sure if dying of old age is an honor or a shame for weaponmasters. On the one hand, it means they never got the opportunity to die in glorious battle. On the other hand, it means nothing could beat them in glorious battle.

The problem is I don't seem to be getting glory from killing them.
Also, does the 'troubles' feature actually mean a quest? There's no 'quest' log that I can find with that stuff on it. If I just ask about troubles, does the info that they give me count as a quest? It could explain why the issue is occurring

So I just went straight ahead and started killing kobloids. After a while it became apparent that those still alive (pretty large camp, there was around twenty of them that I saw) stayed sitting or lying down in their same positions. None even attempted to defend him/herself. At this point I have no clue what the hell is going on, is it a bug or what?
