Sadly that's a comment on how today's standards are completely out of whack, where the player must coddled and led by the hand. I remember my first playthrough and I guessed from Lynette's tone that I was pissing her off...and given that she's in a government type building, I figured pissing her off would get me shot or thrown out or whatever. And they weren't abrupt with it either if I recall, as Gizmo said, the player could just use some common sense. In your case..you attacked a city official, of course the guards are going to be pissed off at you They're not noob traps, unless you believe "punishing" someone for in-world stupid behaviour is harsh
