You probably know the drill by now. Every mod in the "Essential NPCs" series is meant to be used in conjunction with Run For Your Lives to provide an extra layer of protection, but can stand on its own. This time around, every NPC capable of buying and selling alchemy ingredients and potions that doesn't have death-by-quest-itis is flagged as essential.

This Special Edition version only has a BAT file option.
