Do named Skalitz npcs respawn later in game?

[♥♦♣♠]

Adam, Johanka, Beran etc. I know they show up in Rattay if I don’t kill them but wanted to confirm if they respawn if I do

Some of them do respawn, Some of them do not respawn, but game does get wonky.

Alex, for example, does not seem to respawn - and Alex is related to 2 sidequests.

Beran, as another example, does respawn, but sometimes the argument with his "Beran's Wife" does not occur in Rattay, thus the only way to get Scavenger is through Kunesh, who is unkillable in Skalitz, but may now hate you enough to not start the dialogue.

I dont recall killing Johanka, so that one i don't know.

I think Adam respawns (Rattay Tavern by upper gate), but i'm not certain.

Thank you. I’ll play it safe then and spare them

Yes, that is what i do now - additional wonkiness should be avoided :)

Why kill them in the first place? The whole immersion goes to pot when you start the game by staging an even worse massacre than the Cumans.

Killing people in Skalitz is a way to drive down your Reputation with Skalitz Refugees (in Rattay) to the negative (like -99) - and to drive down your overall starting Reputation (overall starting reputation with traders is affected by this)

I've started the game with an overall starting reputation of 34 with traders and trainers (never managed lower) - so all traders and trainers can generally dislike Henry to start

This can make the game a bit harder, and opens up other NPC responses that can be funny - Something else to explore, just don't pull my pizzle ;)

But the real trick is to kill as many folks as possible in Skalitz without being seen, and not having a Bounty when you wake up in Rattay :)

I think one of the most true things that can be said about this game is that... perhaps because of the way it was funded... it is not as robust as some would like.

I think the basic structure and the mechanics are OK but when you start ignoring the tutorials and killing innocent npcs and setting yourself at odds with the "expectations and intent" of the devs, you introduce 'x-factors' that just compound and get worse the longer you play.

I suspect that most if not all of the people playing this game who experience real bugs (albeit ones no one else is experiencing) could trace it back to some such event as killing all the npcs in Skalitz.

One of the most common examples is the player wishing to skip the intro who loads a game save from 2018. The game seems to play fine but 10 hours of gameplay later, little things start cropping up and then start snowballing.

Play a clean game, play an honourable game, play with the tools built in and the odds of never having problems go way, way up.
