When fighting the various enemies I noticed you can use dialogue options to your advantage. By having one character engage in dialogue, the other characters can essentially kill the NPC without taking damage. I have had great success with this primarily in the Goblin base camp. More notable when saving the bear from the Goblins in the dungeon.
Instead of a conversation for this scenario, I was able to strike the goblin beast master with a sneak attack. He engaged me with dialogue and then I killed him with a different character standing by. The death did not aggro any other characters even though they were near the beast master. I was able to do this again on an additional character, but instead of being able to kill him with the second character this instance did force combat.
I have had additional issues with the trader in the Goblin base. I am allowed to pickpocket her, but after being caught she runs around like a chicken with their head cut off and the resets as if nothing happened. Additionally, I am able to ambush and kill her away from prying eyes as one of her paths takes her into the priestess room where I dispatched her and took all of her supplies.
With combat, I have had numerous pathing issues with enemies who either run randomly, don't move at all or freeze for approximately 60 seconds before going to the next NPC. Sometimes these NPC freezes are followed by a game crash or leave the gameplay frozen for several minutes before finally skipping the NPC and allowing me fight again.
