1. Finish quest, ask for training.
2. Monster shows up during training, don’t cancel.
3. NPC seemingly runs out and kills the attackers… with me stuck in a training loop? It all happened in a flash.
4. Skill not learned, NPC melee weapon spawned all over the place.
5. ???

Can’t it be fixed by implementing a no\_NPC\_Gen tag to it or something?

There is a special MI to prevent items from spawning on NPCs, it just doesn’t work very well.

I encountered a similar bug with an NPC asking me to find their dog in a house 5 map tiles away, before zombies had even spawned so it was simple in and out, the dog even ran up to me as soon as I approached the house. I bring the little furball back to its owner who thanks me, then the dog begins attacking the npc.

Trading is broken.

NPCs will give you money they don’t have and then get negative money themselves. Things get real screwy after that.
