Like say you clear a dungeon, would be nice if friendly NPC's started taking residence inside once all the enemies are dead. I know this happens to some dungeons, but should happen to them all. Better than the same enemies respawn after a few days like you've never been in that dungeon.

Who would move in though? I have no knowledge of that happening.

I imagine its a group of bandits moving in trying to find a place.

In other words you want to make dungeons non repeatable?

And who would move in? The trade caravans? No, you should have thought that through before making a thread about it.

Jeez.

What?

I'd settle for the Civil War forts spawning with soldiers reliably. It's a serious pain in the glavin when you win the Battle for Fort Amol only to find the necromancers back there afterwards.

The idea of forts spawning with friendly NPCs isn't a horrible one though. There are plenty of groups that might occupy them, vigilants of Stendarr, homeless farmers, hunters, imperial/stormcloak outposts, Jarl's men etc.

Agreed, and sometimes those necromancers aren't easy.

If it's a mine, miners move in (like Kolskeggr Mine) with guards and start business again.

If it's a crypt, it gets turned into a hideout for some thieves.

If it's a fort, it gets taken by some faction (Like Fort Neugrad gets taken over by Imperials once you kill off the bandits).

Basically for a sense of accomplishment.

Progressing the CW by clearing Forts and Nord Crypts and putting a garrison. Now that might make the CW questline better.

actually, I have a character who just finished the CW for the Legion, and I am running into a ton of forts garrisoned by the Legion..

So I think the CW Factions do Garrison Forts if they control that particular Hold...

Fort Neugrad gets garrisoned by Imps once you clear the bandits out of it.

One time dungeons.. No thanks

It would be quite boring.

And what stops a bandit faction from existing and capturing new unmanned-territory.

Bandits are inherently thieves too, so how does the crypt option make sense?

It would. not being able to fight anything besides falmer and creatures spawned on the road would become progresively dull. To the point where you pretty much forced into restarting. And I have a limited supply of ogmahed characters...

Well say you go back to the place you cleared and kill all the friendly NPC's. Then the hostile NPC's take over again.
