Hello all,

I went to an earlier save 8before conquering Pitax) after the new patch and sure enough, now the people who we can interact with are there - but there's a new flaw, once I talk to Annemede at the docks initiates combat with all the guards. I think it's the Invisibility she casts at the end that triggers this.

Anyone else has this error?

Yeah, I have the same issue. With the last few patches they fixed a lot of Pitax bugs, but that's one that still remains.
Your options are to either not to talk about her offer with Annamede (rest of the dialogue is ok) and proceed without her support (a dialogue later on still assumed I accepted her deal - differences either way are probably very minor) or wait until that is fixed.
