Seems to me like as soon as you get into combat in the game, its impossible or seemingly impossible to get far away enough to get out of the combat state to be able to do actions like wait. The only way it seems like I’m able to get out of the combat state is if I kill everyone last person that has entered combat with me or if I retreat all the way to a town near guards and etc. Other than that, I can jump on my horse and ride miles but if I don’t hit a town or somewhere that’s 100% safe you will just be chased to the ends of the earth/stay in the combat state.
You described it perfectly.
But this bug only applies when you get into combat with more like 1 enemy.
Otherwise its exactly as you say. Only way how to get rid of it is 1) kill everyone 2) start a new game (or load saved one)
Exactly! It gets extremely annoying because your then unable to save your progress because of the endless combat state.
