Whats With The Nameless NPCs?

[KadoDragon]

I've noticed a long time ago that there is a long list of nameless NPCs in the actors list in the GECK. I only now ask whats up with them because a mod I am currently working on involves working with nearly all the NPCs. Do the nameless ones ever have direct contact with the player? How are they named in game?

 

My mod will allow you to collect the ears of NPCs you have killed so I want to know if these nameless ones have any direct contact with the player. Thank you in advanced.

Those NPCs are usually part of a randomized and variable list of spawned actors. So the player can sometimes interact with those unnamed NPCs.

That explain a lot. Now this leads to a problem. They way I was going to have my mod work is if you kill a named NPC, say Trudy, You would get Trudy's Ear. If you killed say an NCR Trooper, you would get NCR Trooper's Ear. These nameless NPCs make that a little.... difficult. What would I name the ears? Unless I make it something ambiguous like Individuals Ear. It would be kinda lame though.
