Prevent attacking innocents and Blade of Woe
The setting that prevents me from attacking innocents has saved me a lot of times from getting a bounty. It's so easy to accidentally press a skill button, so I always turn this option on.
Likewise, stealing an item from the environment can be prevented. It happens frequently for example when handing in writs that I select an item and accidentally try to steal it.
Now, for stealing there is an option to prevent stealing lose items from the environment but still allow stealing from containers. This makes sense, because it's 100 times less
likely that you accidentally steal from containers. Because it needs an extra action that can still be cancelled.
Now how about Blade of Woe. Nobody positions behind an enemy presses the Blade of Woe button by mistake. Similar to the stealing options, I would expect that I could keep
on the prevent attacking innocents option, but still be able to use the Blade of Woe. Especially regarding the recent endeavors, this would be a welcome addition.
