I've been playing multiplayer with a friend. We're a few hours into the game and we're at the blighted village.

When we fast travel back to the camp about 70% of the time Gale immediately engages us in dialogue and says "you shouldn't have a come here."

He then proceeds to give us all attitude -5 and attacks us.

This is quite problematic because it forces us to kill him. Yet if you kill him he leaves death fog behind which kills all of the other NPCs and it doesn't seem to go away.

We circumvented this by luring him to the other side of the camp and killing him on the beach, away from all the other NPCs. Obviously, ideally, we'd rather not have to do this.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue?

If it's helpful I could make a video or take screenshots. Just let me know.
