Druid-Camp attack when first entering? - looting Goblins = stealing? Bug?

[....]

Why is looting the Goblins that attacked considered stealing? Is this a bug? To me it doesnt seem to make any sense?

you have to hit them 1 time at least. When they kill a goblin you never hit, its their loot. I dont want to have other people take my loot too when they never done something to help to kill it :D

In this case, its only a crime to loot the goblins that died in the cutscene, strangely enough. You can always make sure based off your icon going red when hovering over them.
Worth noting, don't always rely on it going red - if you help someone butcher a few enemies and it says it's stealing, the person you helped most likely will ignore it.

its a weird mechanic. every goblin the grove npc´s kill is counted as their kills and their loot so if you try to loot their goblins you are stealing. if you killed said goblin you can take what it has no problem. its like this for the entire game btw

no not a bug. normaly is robbing death persons from a battlefield a crime.

This is a fantasy game - according to that logic you wouldnt be able to loot anything ... And obviously the game doesnt consider looting after a fight stealing normally.

not true. the "stealing" ones are the ones that died in the cutscenes before you actually got into battle. The game is weird about this sometimes, but it is absolutely not about "who got the kill"

im in the middle of act 3 and it has been like this for my entire playthrough. i just got out of an ambush in the city of baldurs gate and the ones the npc´s killed are considered stealing and the ones i killed are fine

That is absolutely not how this works, but okay. Are you sure you're not confusing NPCs from different factions?
As can example, looting bodies from faction A might be a crime, but looting faction B might be fine. Obviously, your friends would not want you looting their friends.

there were 3 groups in the encounter
group A=me
group B=flaming fist
group C=assassins
group A walked into an ambush laid by group C, group B intercepted when they heard the noice and aided group A in the fight. when the fight was over a few from group B laid on the ground, group A was unable to loot them without stealing, fair enough. every corpse of group C however was different. there were 6 of them in total, 2 of them were counted as stealing because group B got the killing blow on those enemies.
tbh it would not surprise me if its a bug, there seems to be alot of small ones in SP. wasnt hard to loot the bodies but thats how it went down

Could be a bug - absolutely never noticed this troughout the entire game. it was always bodies belonging to a specific group that i couldn't loot (or strange cases like the goblins in this case - where they died in a cutscene)
