Bugs
If the player character decides to kill Plik upon entry of the Coastal Grotto, the Dismemberer may appear on his corpse without completing the quest.
If one kills an unnamed non-player character with neutral or good Karma in one strike, and all their limbs sever and is witnessed, other non-player characters will not turn hostile towards the player character.- Upon activating the quest and killing Plik, the Dismemberer will appear on his body, but only if he is dismembered into giblets upon death—particularly through means of a powerful sneak attack critical with the Bloody Mess perk.
