I really hope they change this, because Yarrow and Migo attacked me for literally no reason. The dogs who I made friends with inside the prison also attacked me, despite me being friends with Buddy and Emmie, just because I decided to leave the prison for a moment (the party still had their source collars on). Also if someone attacks someone off in a distance lager from 10 meters like in this video, then no one else should know about it, and the town shouldn't suddenly be trying to murder the entire party (especially considering everyone was off at different parts of the map doing their own thing).

There should also be a system in place for yielding, provided the thing you are yielding to actually has the possibility of letting you go like a guard, civilian, or a non void woken animal(which could give more uses to pet pal). Yielding could also only be possible if you haven't already killed one of the people in combat with you, so that its not abused.
