the bakery (final cut)

[Icedfate]

i don't understand what i did wrong. .

i went to the bakery and i see 3 people in there. the mother has some eye sickness.
the people aren't hostile and one guy is willing to trade with me.

i'm exploring, only taking unowned loot piles.

and then in the back of the house, i see 2 armed men attempting to break in.
i hide behind the door and stealth kill one of them and engaged the other one in melee combat, just barely surviving with severe wounds.

the family doesn't react at all. the son walks right past me and shuts the door and goes back upstairs. I even traded one of the guns the bandits were carrying to him for supplies.

i then leave and go home.

the next night, imgo back there and the son says "i let you go this time, but next time , i'll kill you!"
and i go upstairs where the mother is and suddenly, the son and daughter go hostile and attack me. . wtf?

I ran into this glitch too. I doubt it'll ever be fixed. It's a unique place among the locations of the game because it features both friendly and hostile characters, and I'm not sure the devs factored into the programming for return visits. The best I can say is to visit it once, save the people of the bakery, scavenge as much as you can, and never return.

or. . next time, i might just let them kill the people and then kill them on their way out. .

follw up. I may have figured this encounter out.
you're not supposed to take on the thugs by yourself.
you're supposed to run back and warn the family.

I still screwed it up though, lol.
and i think it's bugged.

because i did what i said i was gonna do in the previous comment. I hid while the thugs came in and killed the people, and i was gonna try and stealth kill the second thug on the way out, but then they ran out the other exit.
and then when i went up to see what they did. there was 1 person left alive and my character was like "hey, there's some people trying to break in!" and then when i went home, my character bio updated saying "i'm glad i warned them, who knows what would have happened if I didn't "

so yeah, now the game thinks i did it correctly, even though i screwed it up.
