The problem is still around with the last hotfix, unfortunately. Friendly NPCs in the druid grove, the blighted village (the persuaded goblins) and the ruined temple all keep running away at the sight of the druid PC.
yep, same for me (although only tested in druid grove), I have to leave my druid out of the way and use the rest of the party to interact.
I was hopping the hotfix would fix it :'(
