Because I planned to eventually do some of the crafted armor quests, I have
never killed a centaur because I didn't want to get bad faction with them.
I was later told by several guildmates that centaurs, similar to aviaks in
SK, have no faction. I was told you could kill as many as you want and
still do the crafted armor quests. Definately sounds like a bug if they
attacked you as soon as the trade was complete.
