Elderman from village that gives first contract on Hoggart changes his name. I think after each step of this quest, but maybe after load game. He changed his name twice, from Gottfried the Merchant to Gisbert the Merchant, and when the work was done he is finally became Lothar the Merchant, same portrait. I think this man is rather suspicious.
It’s definitely not just the villages. I’ve noticed the names on the faction screen change every time I loaded a saved game. A small thing but annoying, hopefully an easy enough fix?
