Help With A Missing NPC

Post » Wed Dec 07, 2011 8:30 am

Hi all,hope someone can advise me on what to do in this case,I bought the Bruma house the other day and to upgrade the interior you need to see a guy named Suurootan who owns "Novaroma" in Bruma.Now when I go to look for him the only person in the shop is his wife so then I follow his arrow to Olav's Tap and Tackle.Outside Olav's door the arrow is red as normal,I go inside and the arrow turns green so I assume he is supposed to be inside Olav's but he is nowhere to be found. I don't remember killing him by accident and I don't believe I've ever had any prior contact with him....any ideas? I'd really like to put some furniture and storage containers in my new house but Suurootan is nowhere to be found.

Sometimes npc disappear due to some kind of bug. Try waiting an hour or that doesnt work exit game and reload.

Try reading through the quest log again to make sure you aren't missing something like "He'll meet me at XXX time" or whatever. Also, sometimes NPCs get all boogered up and they wander in places they shouldn't be. When I did Battlehorn Castle, I killed all the marauders and couldn't find the knight to complete the quest with. Turns out he was in Anvil. For whatever stupid reason. :banghead:

Thanks for the suggestions,I checked the in-game "schedule" for Suurootan and he's never where he's supposed to be so I think he may have been killed earlier in the game and I just don't remember the incident. You would think he would respawn after a few days though.... :confused:

Go to jail he should appear outside the jail when you've served your time, if he's not dead. This has happened to me 2 or so times already and that fixed it.
