Why Did I Get Penalized for Sneaking into Skethermore?

-

I recently used a pass from Captain Sims to sneak into the Protocol Field Bunker where Windfall’s Signal Redirector is located. I managed to get in and out without being seen, waiting for the sentries outside to turn their backs. However, I was surprised when the game said I attacked Protocol soldiers, which really threw off my enjoyment. Is this how it’s supposed to work, or is it a glitch? Oh, and I realized I mixed up Skethermore with Casterfell Woods, my bad!

So if you freed Dr. Garrow, that could explain the penalty! If you didn’t, then it’s likely a bug. You might want to report it if you’re just trying to keep things chill. These mechanics can be super confusing sometimes!

Thanks for the tip! I haven’t even met Dr. Garrow yet, so I guess I should let the devs know that something went wrong.

Hey, I totally get your frustration! It sounds like the game might be punishing players for something that shouldn’t even have happened. I joined the forum to see if anyone had insights on sneaking into that bunker without drawing attention. It’s such a bummer because I love exploring but hate missing out on loot just to keep the Protocol soldiers from getting upset. Really weird, right?

Yeah, it’s like, I didn’t even hurt anyone! Just trying to quietly collect what I could.
