Lazy NPc's

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:07 pm

Hello Everyone,
I got my game patched from Steam and since the patch. It seems all my Npc's like to just sleep, example : Blake at the crimson caravan company, He never at his bothe anymore but sleeping in one of the Bldg. I waited 72hrs or more to see if he would show up, The reason why is even though I can find him sleeping in the bldg I cant enteract with him, there no icon to even to talk to him, cant steal from him, cant kill him. He is like just laying there. The Only way I can get him to show up at his bothe, is to enter every bldg in the compound and exit them, and then I see him running for his bothe after exiting the last bldg. It sort of like watching a employee run to his job post when the boss is looking for him. Anyway Its time consuming to have to figure out how to get the npc's to show up were there ment to be or be able to interact with them. Another Example is Isaac from Gun runners, He in his house allways sleeping. Only way to get him to even move is to enter his house throw one door and exit out the other. I didnt have this problem with Npc's before the patch. Anyone else having this problem or Have a suggestion to fix it? The List of Lazy/sleeping npc's is getting longer every place I go to. main quest Npc's are even starting to just be sleeping all the time, but they do allow me to interact with them even when there sleeping all the time.

After the patch I keep finding randomly unconscious (not dead) blackjack dealers in the Ultra-Luxe, crumpled on the floor behind the table. You can still play blackjack though.

Try waiting in 5 hour or so increments. The engine is set up in such a way that they perform a specific task, whether it be eating, walking or sleeping, at the same time every day.

Thanks for that suggestion, but it didnt work, 5hrs, 1hr , 72 hrs... They just lay in bed. Forgot to say that after interacting with the sleeping npc's if I can get them up, about 2 mins later there heading right back to bed... :(
