Fate of this page[edit]

It might be a good idea to have a list of NPCs that respawn, but I think an article wouldn't be the best way to go about it. Create a Category:Respawning NPCs instead. NPC Summaries already contain a field for Respawn, so that could automatically incorporate it. Most NPCs are nameless guards and the likes, so this category should be added manually to their pages. I don't think it is necessary to have a page similar to Oblivion:Essential NPCs, as there is less information available. --Timenn < talk > 08:09, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

I agree with Timenn. Take a look here. As he pointed out, the overwhelming number of NPCs that respawn are generic rather than named characters so a separate page is only going to have a tiny number of entries. –RpehTCE 09:36, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
I'd say just add it as a footnote onto the Essential NPCs page - there's only 4 of them by my count, not including generic-named guards and such. (Even Adoring Fan doesn't qualify by my definition - that's not a real name. Though, okay, he does have his own page, so sure, 5 then. Whatever.) --TheRealLurlock Talk 12:01, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

addon npcs[edit]

would it be ok to add the addon the npc belongs to? i don't have mehrune's razor due to financial reasons, so i didn't know who the forgemaster was. when i clicked on his page, that's when i noticed he was part of the razor addon. BubbaYoshi 01:59, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

It's already there; the little 1, 2, and 3 next to their names that lead to the bottom that give explanations like "Requires Mehrunes Razor Official Plug-In"--Arch-Mage MattTalk 02:23, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
my bad, i don't pay attention to the note tabs XPBubbaYoshi 02:58, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Real Time?[edit]

When it says "They will all respawn in a few days, is that real time? one reason im asking is i think this page is a good one for those who have the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal and want to have some *harmless* fun without killing anyone who wont respawn G-Rath 19:13, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
