Yeah, that scene never made any sense to me.... after experiencing the first death there, I always just kill on sight and not worry about any immersion at that stage. Which is kinda sad when one considers it, as there could be a few more options and party interactions. Same with the Astarian introduction, I now just completely skip by him entirely because I don't want to see that stupid unrealistic "scene" again. As it simply would not fit any RPin character of mine in that situation (to turn ones back on a potential enemy so they can slip a dagger to my throat). Even in real life I am more "aware of my surroundings" than that. I guess that comes from years of martial arts training that the personal space/awareness soaks into my blood so I simply cannot see any character of mine being that naive.
