Unique NPCs?

[KUFON]

How many unique NPCs are there in Skyrim? DLCs included

[Skinker]

A bunch, like a lot

[KUFON]

I want an exact number like 1000? 500?

[Docsprock]

You will need to go count them. I would estimate there are well over 1000.

For instance: there are 80 npcs in Solitude, and 77 in Whiterun. (Including the surrounding farms).

Every single non-quest related NPC you see in Skyrim and Oblivion...have normal lives of their own. It's like a giant population of Sims...They're like normal people. They have affairs, they argue and fight each other, the play, flirt, laugh...etcetera etcetera . It's insanely simple how they did it, but the result is hugely intricate.

There is quite the unique character at the bar in rorikstead.

Try talking to him in thalmor robes see where that conversation goes.

Here's a list of every named NPC in the game. DLC included: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:People
Happy counting.

While the wikis try to list all the named NPCs, I wouldn't assume the lists are complete, even after all these years, there may be one or two who are still not listed.

The total number is 1001.

I counted all of the listed unique NPCs at https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:People and some other pages there. All added by "Creation Club" were excluded. I am pretty shure that some NPCs are missing from that lists (for example, I had to search and include all named dragons, Sheogorath and Pelagius the Mad, named horses, etc.).

This number includes all uniquely named humans, elves, orcs, etc. It also includes uniquely named animals, dragons and daedra.

Yes, my post was in direct reply to yours.... I'll admit I didn't look at dates though.

[HazakTheMad]

The list is most likely finished, Uesp uses a tool called CSList to find information on stuff.
It is similar to the CS but made specifically for listing the data.
