Scared NPC's.

[Artrysa]

It seems every other place I go with groups of npc's siting about, they start screaming and running away. First with the Aldecados, now also in a market in Japantown. Is there any reason for that? Or just ai being dumb?

Are you shooting them?

[Artrysa]

No, I am not shooting them.

put your weapons away.

I keep running over ghosts, giving me a 1-star bounty. Not sure why this is now happening with this game (or since 1.23 or 1.3 to be exact).

Try to load an older save ? In your progression

Best guess : Might be a bug where the game locked NPCs into panic mode, or locked you into attacking behavior to the surrondings
Might be ghosts assets like Zero said
Might be a game update to broke your save retro-compatilibty in specific conditions

Might be a ton of things...
Damn Early Access

Try to load an older progression save and try again

i found that not running everywhere doesnt startle the npcs just treat em like a herd of skittish sheep thats ready to bolt on a moments notice if you so much as twitch wrong

[cheetah1546]

i've embraced their fear without hurting them

Other things in the game scare them so they aren't always reacting to you.

Yeah apparently the police presence in sectors of the map remember now. That combined with civilians not rendering before they get run over seems to be the origin of it.

im actually alarmed by the number of people in this thread acting like this isnt a common problem.

I've NEVER had the NPCs NOT frozen with fear around me. Theres this one place idk what its called but its the place where you find the cop and politely tell her to leave town, by blowing her brains out. And well, I did , idk, SOMETHIGN that pissed someone off, who knows, maybe i J-walked. But everyone turned hostile, and so, i had to murder them all, and then the police showed up, and it was a huge thing. Well, so anyway, anytime i go back to that place, even days later, everyone is still frozen in fear.

This is everywhere I go, anywhere there was a shootout because you know, thats called gameplay, all the NPC's freak out, even the ones I just saved. And putting away weapons doesnt help, they freak out if i even have fists, granted they are lethal weapons.

I'm very surprised that people are saying this isnt common. Its been the rule for me, not the exception.

I'm having this same issue as well. Just noticed it when I was doing the quest with River.
