NPC's don't path until killed/spawn?

[PunchinPreacher]

unless an npc is agro nothing seems to move except guards ( which walk through walls) and skeletons when you walk too close (freeport)

I noticed though, that once I killed a bunch, others move randomly.

Is this a normal thing or what? I'm using cavedude's db with myra's items and npc updates.

Did I miss something? Oh and I still get cast on by npcs... shadows cast on me? mussles errupt with fenzied strength or something like that.
