Random NPC Deaths : IV

» Fri May 27, 2011 3:29 pm

Anyone know any NPCs that have a tendency to randomly die, whether it be by guards murdering them or by other means? so far I have:

City Swimmer
Shameer
Graklak gro-Buglump
Shum gro-Yarug
Toutius sixtius
Ongar the World-Weary
Othrelos (I think)
And just about all the NPC's that go for walks in the dangerous woods

Anyone have any others? Any info is greatly appreciated.

City Swimmer is dead because she stole something and then the guards killed her, although I've also seen her (not on my game) fall off the bridges, etc. in Bravil.

Telaendril. I have found her dead on the road in two different games.

can these npc's be saved ?

do they have any questlines ?

were they implanted in the game so that they would die?

One night when I passed by the Tap and Tack I suddenly heard a loud scream behind me. It was Brotch Calus, dying from just exiting the tavern.

I reloaded a save

1. Yes, on PC by making them essential or resurrecting them.

2. Some do, some don't.

3. No. The game has a high degree of random AI activities, and NPCs just go about the business of being NPCs. If one of them steals something and a guard sees it, well . . . . That is, none of it is 'planted' or scripted or necessarily predictable - sort of like life.

other people who die include guards, froresters, mage apprentices.

In my current game I saved Farwil and Bremman Semyan from the Oblivion gate, only to find Bremman dead on the street in Cheydinhal the next day outside the March Rider. I still have no idea how it happened - Skooma overdose?

I remember seeing Big Head being mercilessly sluaghtered by Golden Saints after he stole something. It's strange how if you'd have done it you would have been fined 25 gold.

Maybe he resisted arrest and therefore had to pay with his blood... criminal scum.

One time I had the adoring fan just randomly die

I was inside of an inn then he just fell to the ground

Maybe he had a heart attack? :laugh:

I've had random npcs drop from the sky when exiting buildings. Reloading autosave didnt help, so life must go on i suppose.

These, in my opinion are non-important, as they re-spawn. On a side note, pushing Apprentices into another Apprentice's spell is good fun. :evil:

Also, it's strange that these falling out of the sky deaths and spontaneous heart attacks have never happened to me in my recollection . I am hoping they won't.

Thanks for all the replies.

ive seen a weird happening, i saw the musician in the imperial city (cant remember name) die. i saw *so and so* gets knocked unconsious on the upper right corner. i looked around for a hostile, but none were to be found.

Alval Uvani, I've seen him start a fight in any of several inns, and I've seen him dead on the road over a dozen times.

Alval (back off or I'll turn your bones to ash) Uvani is such an obnoxious jerk.

He picked one of those tavern fights with my bowgirl in Skingrad. She finished it. Is that bad?

Hmm, maybe that explains why we've never found him dead along the roads. . . .

So was he, but he didn′t have the money and refused to go to jail so he had to pay with his blood

Once in a while I come across a Black Horse Courier or her horse dead on the side of the road. Happens more frequently when Oblivion Gates start to spawn.

well its a change ive played too many games where i commit a crime whole world is after me the game commits a crime and there like oh you its ok

:facepalm: They took that out? I'm certain that in GTA SA if an NPC smacked into a cop cruiser, the cops would start chasing them. Doesn't make any sense why Rockstar would take out that feature in GTA 4. In GTA SA, I would purposely smack into an NPC's car so that theirs hit a cruiser and the cops would start to give chase.

Every now and then, I'll walk into the IC Market District and see a Mythic Dawn agent launch into the sky and fall to the ground dead. It's kind of funny.

Graklak gro-Buglump

I just walked in the two sisters lodge in Skingrad and suddenly this guy started fighting with Ingred the Sturdy - and got killed. I run a bunch of mods though - I'll troubleshoot in the cs later - but has anyone any ideas ??

Dro'Nahe gets killed alot walking between Bravil and wherever else she goes.

My wizard character's save file had the amusing events I dubbed the "University riots" where the mage apprentices and scholars, Raminus Polus and Hannibal Traven would fight the imperial battlemages stationed in the university. Since both the mages and guards respawned, whenever the defeated side respawned they would continue their battle and find a new victor. I was never quite certain how they started, but the Empire has to be running low on imperial battlemages at this point.

only random deaths i seen was a Waterfront pirate fight a legion and
two legions randomly having a bow show down then the victor while leaving got atacked and killed by a bandit :rofl:

I once found Honditar dead outside Chorrol. I found the bandit that killed him near his corpse. I knew the bandit killed him because of the arrows in the bandit.
