Attacked by Bandits, Guard says I broke the law

[EtherealVan]

Watching a Skirmish between Guards and Bandits. I'm attacked by bandits. Guard comes over to say I broke the law. Why is this not being patched still?

There shall be no brawling on the lordship’s bridleways!!

Did you start the fight? Or hit an "innocent" by accident? I am only asking because I haven't had that happen to me in a while. I had the exact opposite happen recently where I saw a guard chasing down a bandit and after I killed the bandit I received a reputation boost. The game has not been patched in a while though so bugs can still be found.

Got jumped by Cumans near Ledetchko, ran to the village for help, guards joined the fight and we killed the devils. When the fight was over me and Mutt were arrested for causing disturbance and hurting people. Womp.

You can just kill the guards on the road, you won't get any reputation penalty/jail in the towns.

One exception: The fighting on the north-south road from the Monastery to Samopesh can sometimes draw REAL guards from the Monastery (because of arrow fire) towards the area, so be careful about that.

There are a couple ambush locations that Bug out - and this happens. The guards ignore a Bandit or two, but the Bandits attack you, and the guards attack you for defending yourself / attacking the bandits.

I just kill them all.

I just got the same thing by killing some cumans near a guard. I thought that cumans were free game for anyone. So yeah, having a guard try to arrest me for killing cumans is a bug.

If they surrendered and were captured they're not 'free game'

Had the same happen as I was leaving Uzhiz - see guards Vs Cumans , kill one surrendered Cuman (because) and suddenly they both stop attacking each other and try to arrest me !

I didn't know that in 1407 Police brutality was an offence ^^; ...

Happens to me once in a while I remember one time I killed a bandit in front of one of those guards, they tried to arrest me for murder, so I killed him as well.

The guards are responsible for maintaining law and order so your interference is seen as just that: interference. They then act accordingly.

It's best to try to avoid such skirmishes if possible and maybe watch from a distance. If the bandits are victorious and kill the guards, then feel free to charge in and finish off the brigands.

Nice necro thread

And as i said over 2 years ago - kill them all - the guards are probably working with the bandits

Sounds like you're Andy Ngo at an ANTIFA riot in Portland.
