This game is almost perfect but

The civilians interacting with crime need reworking. I just saved a merchant on the road from two bandits. One of the bandits surrendered, I told him to get up and fight to the death, killing him. The merchant then fled to tell on me??

I saved a girl in a quest who was being held hostage. After the bad guy was dead, I took his sword off the ground and she runs off to tell the law of my theft. Like wtf? I just saved you!

Frustrating bits of an otherwise nearly perfect game.
