Oh yes, there are at least a few that hang around at different times of the day. One on the upper level, some in the little park and some around the tavern exterior. None of them will do it unless the weather is good though.

There will be a lot more characters in the village after the update.

I've been playing this lately. Going through that main Museum quest.

So Arthmoor, yes there are a few NPCs that venture outside, but I think the point behind you question has merit; it does seem rather empty, deserted even, pretty much all of the time when out of doors.

Meek; I think you are right about the quests. The main one is sufficient pretty much as is I think. A few little minor quests might be nice (like the one you mentioned) as they too add to the atmosphere, making you feel more a part of it, rather than just a spectator. But I say focus on those strengths. It feels pretty much complete to me, so just do whatever pleases you, as I see nothing that feels notably lacking or 'broken' from a player point of view.

While you are looking at this again:
As I have been playing there was one thing that I noticed felt a bit off (Only this one so far, which is kind of surprising for any large mod!) and that is to do with ownership. The letters you take from the pigeon-holes; they are for you, but come up as illegal to take, and stolen. Not at all game breaking because you are invariably alone when taking them, but still it seems a bit odd.
Other than that there was only (if I recall correctly) that in The Pell's Gate Apartments the bottom floor clutter is all free for the taking (including in that "Assassin quest" couple's apartment) while the upper floors all have ownerships set so that they come up as illegal to take. Again a matter of just not feeling quite right.
:D


Oh, and as both of you are here in this thread (Meek and Arthmoor); having both of your sets of towns (all but Arthmoor's Frostcrag until I finally get through Frostrcrag Reborn) really adds to the feel of the game. Makes the 'world' feel larger in a way.

Thanks for the feedback. I have fixed the letter issue and apartment clutter issue, ready for the next update release.

OP requested close.
