Lo-Fi Games

Firstly I'd just like to say this is an amazing game.

I've seen on the wiki and on youtube vids npcs from the Imperial Lords faction but I've never seen them in any of my playthroughs. My question is, do they still exist in the current version?

I was also wondering if npcs can loot other npcs and if not is it a planned feature?

To my knowledge, imperial lords are not in the game (or maybe in just a remote city). As for NPCs looting, there's a feature request out for that: I'VE BEEN ROBBED.
