[SPOILER WARNING] Hopetown - possible bug ?.

[Grimaldus]

So.. i finished the quest about Hopetown and their own Mr Hope... pretty much
just refused all bribes and tried taking him in - which resulted in him outright
trying to killl a ranger so i had to put him down.

And now after a few days i went to Hopetown to try and create a ship,
but as soon as i entered the hope factory... everyone was shooting at me
and my companion returned the favor by killing a few of the workers...
(no bounty gained tho).

But i'm thinking that this is probably a bug?, because everything i did was
by the lawbook and Hope was dirty .. hence why they shouldn't be firing at me.

Anyone else had this happen?.

He might have been dirty but to (most of) his workers he was a savior. And you killed their savior. I don't think it's a bug. It's why I didn't try to go back to Hope as I expected I would be attacked.

Happened to me too.

When you get into the fight with Ron there's a few extra guards on his side in the lobby. But if you do like I did and fast travel out of there, they are still spawned and you have to kill them next time you visit.

On the plus side, none of the normal guards/personnel are allied with them and don't aggro (as long as you don't shoot them) Once you kill them, everyone filters back into the lobby like nothing happened.

If you talk to his subordinate (Gisselle I think?) you can get out without further hostilities. If you killed her too you might be ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

same outcome for the quest and me last night in fact.
As I left the remaining staff/guards at front were passive, haven’t gone back but booting up in a bit here. I’ll report back if it bugs out too for me.
