They do not fight the player but rather act as additional scenery, be part of quests or act as shopkeepers who can buy and sell goods to the character. They're also generally invincible to typical forms of damage however during certain parts of and they are witnessed dying.
NPC's in follow the guidelines of the NPC's from , they're categorized into three different types: Normal, shopkeeper and Guard (Although crossovers are possible). All three types are capable of giving, continuing and ending quests for the player. The difference in this version is that most NPC's, especially Guards, are now alot smarter with attacking/defending and the prices of shopkeepers are better balanced.

Note:
==Death and Loot==
In the standard maps included in and , NPC's are incapable of dying unless it is scripted.
Through the use of the Dungeon Siege Editor, it is quite easy to make an NPC die. However causing an NPC to die in will make it drop all it's inventory and equiped items (Which explains why Guards never die). Shopkeepers treat their sellable items as items inside their own inventory (The buttons at the top serve as filters) and as such, killing a Shopkeeper will cause it to drop all it's inventory items which can clog up the screen and in some cases, cause the game to lag due to so many modifyable entities on the screen.
