Civilians encompass the general, untrained public. In order to provoke a fight with civilians, the circumstances may vary greatly; for example, civilians could be fought during a riot, an unprovoked attack, or made hostile as a result of player actions. Instinct: Attacking the player character, either in assault or self defence.
