I mean being in shops specifically. They have jobs, they go to bathe, they eat and that is awesome. What I’m saying is I dont recall seeing NPCs in stores other than the Tavern, if you count that, other then the shop keep and the guard…maaaybe a wife if they live where they work.
Definitely not complaining about the game, its awesome. I’m just speaking specifically of not seeing NPCs, to my recollection, in a shop or at a stand as though they were buying something…which apparently they do since shop keep gold increases due to them selling stuff, including your sold merch.
