For a while now, I've been on a one-bosmer crime spree in Balmora.
Mostly involving larceny. And a lot of murder. A bigly amount of murder.
Generally, within one to three loops of my preferred route, I'll pick up a motif chapter. The last three or so days I ran the route...zero, zip, nada, doughnut. Plenty of items...no motif chapters.
Based on my selling 140 blue or green items to a fence per day, and allowing for 3 items from each NPC...I've shuffled at least 140 citizens from their mortal coil during that time. Odds are pretty good it's a lot more allowing for white items and angered NPCs.
Something's up....or RNGjeebus really does hate me (possibly due to the murder I guess).
Additionally, I've noticed that some NPCs are acting weird. They'll get a way into their scripted walk, then either teleport a few steps back or turn around in a loop...then continue on as if nothing happened.
Has anybody else noticed this, or am I just special in some unique way?
