Is there a way to know if a NPC will respawn by its ID?
Being a vampire encouraged me to just slay whatever just to feed.
I'm a bit wary though, because I wouldn't want to kill an NPC, having it not respawn and render a quest or whatever unavailable, and I wouldn't even know.
Is there any console command that I could run on specific NPCs to check it right before I kill them? I explored some actor values (AV) but couldn't find anything relevant.
If not, is there any online resource where I could enter the NPC ID to check?
