NPCs Falling in the Drink[edit]

This article looks like it could use some content. Should it say something about NPCs falling in the river, the possibility of them drowning, (I was sure I had screenshots of Hul floating face-down, but I can't find them now), and the possibility of using "RA" to put NPCs back where they belong before some klutz drowns?

That doesn't seem very useful. I have never experienced this in my hundreds of hours playing Morrowind. Also, it seems to be a very subjective topic. Jeancey (talk) 22:01, 10 April 2013 (GMT)
Another one bites the drink!
Here's the latest drowning incident from my particular Balmora. I don't remember this happening until recently either, and I might never have noticed this one, if my PC hadn't come in for a strange landing on the steps up to the bridge, and fallen right through them. I suspect Balmora loses people like this every time we play, but since we don't usually play in the water here, we rarely notice.
I guess I didn't take a screenshot of Hul; I only wrote about finding her body. Downstrike (talk) 06:13, 14 April 2013 (GMT)
I'll have to look out for it... But I have never heard of an NPC drowning before... Jeancey (talk) 06:15, 14 April 2013 (GMT)
Even though it has been quite a while since last I played Morrowind, I do recall experiencing this particular issue as well. Although not in particular with regards to the river in question, I do recall losing NPCs, over time to Morrowind:Glitches#Moving_NPCs, the NPCs ending up in bodies of water they cannot get out of and ultimately ending in their untimely demise. -- Kharay (talk) 10:23, 14 April 2013 (GMT)
I should have anticipated that this was also happening elsewhere. Perhaps a note about this belongs on a more generic page about NPCs or bodies of water. Does someone know of such a page? Downstrike (talk) 19:39, 15 April 2013 (GMT)
Well, I already linked to the proper Glitch on Morrowind's glitch page in my previous remark concerning this situation, feel free to add a note to that glitch about NPCs possibly ending up in bodies of waters as a result of it. I am sure no one would object, as it is a conceivable outcome of that particular error in the game's code. -Kharay (talk) 19:45, 15 April 2013 (GMT)
