Hey,
in my latest playthrough I noticed some strange behaviour and I've come to a point where I assume that this is not intended behaviour but some bug.
I planned to do my first LG playthrough and in the beginning up until I reached the destroyed village everything was fine. (Party is Gale, Wyll, Shadowheart and a diwarf ranger). When I reached the destroyed village, I intimidated the ambush party to leave me alone.
Then I went to free the gnome and the first odd thing happened:
The goblins initiated combat as soon as they saw me (usually I first get a dialoge where I can bribe or intimidate the goblin boss). Additionally the gnome was not tied to the windmill but instead started fighting against the Goblins (and dispite Shadowhearts best efforts, he died in one round). When I killed the goblin boss, he didn't try to surrender.
At that point I wasn't too suspicious, as this all could be explaind with some actions I took earler: Me not freeing Sazza could explain why the goblin boss didn't talk to me like he usually does. I didn't take a sinle long rest up until that point so that could explain that they haven't tied up the gnome yet. And well, my killing blow on the goblin boss was a double crit on scorching ray so maybe he just didn't have enough time to realize that he might want to surrender.
When I came to the goblin camp, things happend as expected again. I threw worg leftovers at the guards, had the artifact vs. absolute cutscene, poisoned the beer and freed the owlbear cub.
But inside, things went wired again. When I talked to Spike, Wyll didn't take part in the conversation at all. (This confused me so much I forgot that I wanted to be LG and tortured the prisoner a bit.)
When I went to Halsin, the dialog started, but almost instantly got cancelled. I thought oh, well, I don't need a dialog, I can just kill the goblins and free Halsin without talking. But when I opened the gate to Halsins cage (I did so during the fight against the goblins) Halsin started the fight as an enemy. I killed of all goblins without dealing a sinlge point of damage to Halsin, but he stayed red and killed Shadowheart.
I damaged him to get him our of his wild shape, hoping that he would be more reasonable in human form. Didn't work. Now I knocked him uncontious and I have no idea what to do next.
