Is there anything new on how long it takes for bandits (and wildlife for that matter) to respawn after patch 2.01? I always had a few dungeons I'd revisit for training purposes but, since I installed the patch the area around Whiterun Hold became increasingly empty, dull and lifeless since nothing seem to respawn anymore. Why this concern me is because, just before I installed the patch, I revisited a dungeon and all bandits (and loot) respawned but the game locked up before I saved so, I installed the patch and when I went back, nothing respawned, where everything respawned there pre-patch. The bodies dissapeared however, should I wait for another 30 day respawn cycle to pass since I installed the patch, it would be even more tragic for a Elder Scrolls game world to become empty and lifeless without any danger of travel within a few gaming hours.
Since the patch, I had few problems with the game (lucky me) except for the bookshelf issue and the respawn concern, I am at 57 game hours with a 8mb saved file(s).
