I played through, got attacked by the baddies, and confronted Azo again. Told him i was gonna turn him in, and he attacked me.
Once I left the basement, the guards and NPCs were hostile to me. I suspect that's not supposed to happen.
Will we get to choose a Steam version or GoG version?
Apologies if this question is commonly asked and answered, I've been trying to avoid reading as much as I could about PoE beyond a release date to avoid spoilers.
