Hi my name is Matt, I am from Arizona and am new to the forums. The issue I am posting about I feel totally shatters continuity and role play and after trying to look up this issue on google and only finding page after page of stormcloak v.s. imperial debates I decided to make my own post and see if someone has an answer or solution. Basically I am not sure if this is an issue in the vanilla game or if it is due to heavy modding. I have found the random encounters involving 3 imperials escorting a nord prisoner to be buggy at best and completely nonsensical at its worst. The known bug I have experienced is from freeing the prisoner, giving him weapons, and he doesn't use them to defend himself, which makes the whole process of giving him items pretty damned pointless. That I am ok with however, and I seemed to have that issue before I installed any mods. What I am not sure about and seems completely nonsensical to me, is that after joining the stormcloaks and taking whiterun, freeing nord prisoner around whiterun (by the meadery) is still illegal and what is worse is that my housecarl and the storm cloak guards attack me outright for doing it, and if I let them be, the stormcloak guard marches about 15 feet in front of them like he is showing them where to go?! My question is, has anyone else dealt with this, is it a mod glitch or part of the game? Also is there a solution perhaps in a role playing realism mod that might address this?
