Vamp Raid: Are my Dead NPC's essential?

Post » Sun Nov 18, 2012 11:31 am

Arriving in Riften to sell my goods as usual, I witnessed a raid that i tried to minimize the damage of on several saves/re-loads but could not contain very well...

Bad Guys: 1) Master Vampire 2) Thief 3) two Deathhounds
Victims: 1) Aerin 2) Edda 3) Indaryn

QUESTION - are any of these good guy NPC's essential to any major or cool quests?
QUESTION 2 - after the slaying i received a letter of inheritance for the death of Edda and 100G. Is this because of family relation or is it random? i thoght we only got these letters if followers or quest-related people die.
QUESTON 3 - i think Balimund might have died but i couldnt find his body because some dude named Asbjorn was the new blacksmith after that. I was like "Who is this dude? I want my regular blacksmith back! Your dialogue options are generic and boring. I WANT BALIMUND!"

BTW, questions 2 and 3 are bonus questions. Most important one is Question 1 but i didnt want to over post too many things that could be put in one post. thanks alot for reading.

No.
thanks, that's what i hoped for. I just worry cuz i hear so many people complain about vampire raids where alot of quest essential NPC's die and i hear that some of these raids occur while they are not even there! I have been fortunate enough to not fall victim to this yet, but maybe that's cuz i havent played long enough.

The vampires spawn while you are in that area, never do they spawn while you are somewhere else. You might not notice them, might not be able to see them if you are on the other side of town, or might be going out the gate on your way somewhere else, but still they spawn while you are there. If you go close to a town, it is best to get in there quick and check if you caused an attack.

I don't always fast travel to towns, but when I do, I look for vamps just in case. :devil:
