Re: Bug on Illium during: The Justicar: Smuggling Evidence side quest

no

I even reloaded a save and very carefully went through that interaction again to test and I still got Renegade points

Weird, check this playthought to see if it helps, platform?

Yeah, that playthrough is the same as the wiki I checked.
I play on Window 10.

There has also been a few other examples where I have gotten renegade points from side mission and have been surprised by it, but none that I have inspected and tested to the same degree as this one.
