First Time playing, and I'm very confused.

Found the Red Ryder LE BB Gun and the Hub, Got through a sale ... saved game did something else and reloaded the save.

And suddenly I'm in combat and I don't know why. If they hit twice I'm dead, if I shoot back suddenly the Hub Police are attacking me, and I wasn't doing anything.

I can't fight, I can't survive long enough to run, and it initially seems to be three guys from all over the map, none of whom should even be able to see me (I'm indoors) nevermind decide they don't like the cut of my jib.


WTF just happened?

I think I figured it out, Leaving here in case it eer happens to another n00b;

I read a book, and time passed, so I saved myself at night with my weapon out in a store area ... and it almost immediately initiated combat upon reloading.

Workaround was to holster weapon and save my game, *then* upon reloading *that* game I was not in combat.

Moving on ...
