I realize it's probably an element of the game's flavor, but after a short while being followed by a veritable horde in Bree any time I try to do some shopping, with some of the towners actually punching my character for 0 damage, it is all a bit too much. And the thing is, apparently I cannot kill them, because if I kill even one of these pests, the entire town turns against me and that's not what I want. I understand the roleplaying aspect of this, but could this harassing behavior possibly be at least toned down if not taken out entirely?
