So, I'm in the Aldingwall Mage's Guild, and the spell maker NPC literally doesn't exist in her room to the right. In DFUnity, she's there.
Did this happen in classic a lot? I never noticed when I played through before.
How common are missing NPCs in classic?

Hi,
Classic works for me... You're using the UESP/Wiwiland installer?
Otherwise... I don't know :/

Weird. Dunno how it's working for you. Maybe it's just something that gets triggered.

Hmm... try talking to them? Maybe only the visual is missing.
Previous experience tells me it's very easy to misunderstand the tone, intent, or meaning of what I've posted. If you have questions, ask.

And maybe time of day? NPCs aren't present outside of normal hours. This happens in DFU as well if you break into the guild outside of normal times.

Talking doesn't work. Time of day doesn't matter.

You didn't happen to escort them to a different city at some point? IIRC they don't come back once you've helped them along.
Is there any reason you're running the game at 20,000 cycles? That's not even meeting minimum system requirements...

Re: How common are missing NPCs in classic?
Things I can confirm:
- She's missing when I load your game as well
- She's not missing in another, fresh save I used
- She reappears in your game if you fast travel to another location and back, resetting building interiors
For some reason something in the data for that NPC to make her no longer be there must have been set. I'm not sure where this is in the game save data, but resetting buildings by fast traveling will fix it if it's causing you trouble.
