The bandit forcegreets you when you approach him, together with a journal update which begins the quest. Most of vanilla bandits (Nels Llendo, Fjol, the Amulet of Shadows lady) don't forcegreet you and patiently wait for you to talk to them. Also, it ruins an initial assumption that he's about to kill himself with the rope.

For the same reason, he shouldn't attack you if you go too far away.

The first journal update should be moved to the choice dialogue rather than greeting.

The greetings are in G0 instead of G1.
