In the past few days I've experienced some oddness when selling loot
to NPC merchants. A nearby NPC will come racing towards me hollering
about my crimes or stolen loot or some such, and attack me. This
happens while actively engaged in selling to the merchant, and so far
the merchant him/herself has never been the attacker.
The two cases where I've had this happen are:
1) Balmora, Mages Guild, upstairs with the NPC who performs
enchantments. When this first happened, I reloaded my last save game
and experimented a bit. It seemed to be triggered by attempting to
sell a stack of lower-end uncharged soul gems, but again, it was
random - sometimes I got attacked, sometimes not. I'm quite certain
I've never stolen a soul gem, or anything else, from anyone in the
Mage guild. Frankly, I'm pretty poor at the stealth activities, and I
doubt I could steal anything even if I wanted to.
2) Yesterday, on a Hlaalu quest, I traveled to Indarys Manor at Bal
Isra, where I relieved the world of a certain troublesome nobleman,
and everything in his room. Though I looted his room, I left
everything and everyone else in the manor untouched. I then went on to
the outpost at Maar Gan to sell the loot. While engaged with the
merchant, some nearby punk hollers something to the effect of "Hey you
dirtbag, that's my sword" and leaps onto me. Now, this was my very
first trip ever to either Bal Isra or Maar Gan, and I had cleared out
all my to-sell inventory before I started the trip, so I'm not sure
why this fella had his undies in such a bunch.
About the only new thing I've got going on that coincides with the
start of these attacks is that I'm now wearing a Redas Robe of Deeds.
A search of the web doesn't indicate this is a cursed item or that it
should draw attackers like flies, and even if it did, the attacks
should occur any time, not just when I'm with a merchant.
Any ideas?
