I'm relatively new to Vintage Story and after a rough experience on a Standard playstyle world have switched to an Exploration world till I learn better how things work. With the creature hostility set to "passive", according to this screenshot of the playstyle settings,
creatures will still attack when provoked. Up until now, I have only attacked monsters/supernatural creatures in daylight, and they never fight back. I assume this is intentional. However, I recently went into a cave for the first time and was attacking them in the dark. I geared up a little beforehand, expecting a bit of a fight. But they never fought back. Is this normal?
I was planning on changing the creature hostility to aggressive when I was more confident, but figured a little bit of battle would help me warm up to it. If this is normal, I may change the setting sooner.
