Why are all the shops empty?
« on: September 23, 2011, 11:13:15 pm »
I went to the nearest larger town, and I found that all the shops are empty. in fact every building I walked into in that town was empty except for one, which had 1 npc in it, that's it though. I just created the world using the advanced parameters, so that I could disable the night monsters.

Did I do something wrong or is this just an odd bug?

Everyone in the town died, by starvation or murder.  It happens sometimes.

so does that mean I can steal anything I want without repercussions? I stole a few things and I can't fast travel unless I'm a ways away from the town

I would guess it is safe to steal everything. It was the last time i did.

Yep, everyone died.  Ask the one surviving townsperson about the history of the city, he'll probably give you some clues about what happened to them all.

And yes, you can just steal everything and no one cares.  You will have to lug it all off to another town to sell it all though.

Sorry, for a moment there I forgot we were all psychopaths.

Someone who has random urges to make mog juice isn't exactly going to care about the cost effectiveness of obtaining it.
