Another problem with Fallout 2

My character slept with Angela Bishop and now I can't get out of 3rd floor. Those guys at stairs will attack me if I try to pass them.

Let this be a lesson to you not to fool around with people you dont know. Seriously you didnt expect a man to let his wife's lover to just walk away, or did you?

Try sneaking. Oh, and while you're at it, rob his vault. Maybe a high speech can help you as well.

Be careful tough, the vault is trapped. If you have the suitcase from the vault city preacher, you can even talk your way out, but I'm not sure about it.

Umm.. Angela is his daughter. And they attack me because of a bug. He seems to think that I came from the stairs. Anyway, I already got past this by turning combat mode/whatever it's called on and then moving. That's probably a bug too.

When I got away, I talked to the guy downstairs and went back upstairs and gave him the case.

I apologize for my lack of knowledge and a little flaming answer. But I still think it is not a bug.

"It's not a good idea to "teleport" to the second floor by sleeping with Ms or Mrs Bishop before you've got permission from the guards to see Mr Bishop, or he'll attack if he sees you on the way out (keep close to the wall, try to run past in combat mode, or Sneak if you have to). Later on it may not matter as much, since Mr Bishop doesn't seem to mind that much that you're sleeping with his wife as long as you're working for him, but as usual if you talk to a boss too many times before finishing a job you may find yourself looking at dialogue choices which all lead to combat. To be safe, only follow the ladies upstairs when you were going to talk to Bishop anyway."

Actually, many consider it as bug. IIRC one of the modders found out the bug in scripting which caused that. When you slept with Angela, some specific varaible wasn't set, and thus the guards were thinking that you have got there without permission and attacked. The fact that Mr. Bishop doesn't actually care if you sleep with his wife or not supports the idea that the variable should have been changed in a way that you would be able to pass the guards peacefully on your way back outside.
