Has anyone counted the number of npcs in game?

There are actually quite few. I imagine that theives and assasins have the best idea how ma y there are as they interact with them.

I would guess that each zone has less than 150 permanent npcs. Maybe the entire world has less than 2500.

The difficulty is greater if you are counting nps that only exist within quests. Most of the npcs i interact with are temporary quest characters like lady clarissa laurent / stibbons / eveli etc.

I would like someone to perform a census.

UESP has 26,424 articles in the "ESO people" category, although it also includes generic npcs such as "acolyte" or "adventurer" which have only 1 article each although several npcs of that title/name might exist (but most npcs on the list are named individuals).

Well, back in 2014 - ESO had the World Record for number of unique NPCs:
