Mol Questline
So whole questline around Mol makes no sense and turns buggy.
Why it makes no sense:
- You catch the thief that steals from you when you talk with Mattis. Ok so you scared some kid - this triggers Mol absolutely hating you and blocking you from getting further quests. He will also report you to the guards which turns buggy and EVERY member of your party will have to pass persuasion check or be attacked by whole camp. You also can get randomly attacked without any checks initiating bloodbath.

Now here is my story:
1. I caught a child Thief and scared him a bit - stupid hate trigger on.
2. I saved Arabella - another child thief from the druids.
3. I saved Mirkon life in "Investigate the Beach" quest. Quite a big deal isn't it?
4. I protected Meli from Barth.
All this and NOPE - When you meet Moll he is still angry just cause of 1 and will tell the guards that you've been threattening children.

BUT !
I've also helped in fight with the goblins again SAVING LIVES at the camps gate.
At this time I have also exposed Kaga and Shadow Druids stopping ritual of the thorn and GIVING EVERYONE IN THE CHAMP A CHACE FOR SURVIVAL.
Yet guess what? Nobody cares about it just cause some kid - probably at this time known for mischef obviously LIES to the guards about freaking PALADIN threatening them. Same Paladin that just probably saved every single persons life in the grove by stopping the ritual.

Now why is it bugged:
Once it happens your only option is to load earlier save and simply never enter the Mol's hideout missing on some quests but at least not triggering bugged Mol that will cause every character in your party to require very high persuasion check (one of them is bound to fail it) or bloodbath is initiated. Sometimes there is no check even and people randomly attack you.

Larian... I really hope similar stuff gets fixed soon. I'm considering leaving the game for a month or ten cause such things really kill immersion. There really shoudn't be any gamebreaking quests like that in the game on release.

Whole option of "Mol telling the guards" needs to me completly removed. Even if you didn't do all those things I did in my playtrough and ONLY saved peoples LIVES at the gate fight with the goblins they should believe you over some probably at this point well-known for mischef kid. There shoudn't even be a persuasion check yet you've set one with DC 15 times four for each party member.
