How to avoid main NPC deaths

[Germonicus]

I've been experimenting a little and figured out how to keep the NPC's alive.

Ridiculously easy to do actually.When you approach an area that shows as a coloured spot on the map save your game just in case things go badly,make a wide circuit of the area containing the NPC and kill all the mobs ....hey presto,no NPC deaths and if you get unlucky just reload the save and try again.
Decided to try this one after Ho managed to get himself eaten by 3 wolves >=)

Ho tends to be a strange area in Multiplayer also. First thing to do is always preventing the questgiver lady to die, because when she's unlucky, two Sanddragons want to kill her :-)

Yep, doing this exactly from the start after i read that main quest npcs can be so easily killed.

Yes, I'm doing it already, and I find it simple and rewarding: non NPC dies, and more wolf harts for me!!
