Base ID
Base ID, or Form ID, is the ID given to NPCs before they are placed in the game.

Finding base IDs in-game
To see the Base ID of an NPC, type in " ". If the NPC's name contains a space, it must be placed between quotes. Examples: This will show a variety of ID's, under the category "other forms". There are several identifications of the type of object or NPC the ID refers to. For example, there is a Thalmor dossier of Ulfric Stormcloak. The line representing its ID starts with "BOOK:" which means this ID is not representing Ulfric Stormcloak himself. Lines starting with "NPC_:" represent an NPC ID. However, there can be multiple lines starting with "NPC_:". These are all Base ID's, however they differ and contain variants of an NPC.

Reference ID
Reference ID is the ID given to NPCs that appear in the game, it is used to disambiguate between multiple copies of the same base NPC. It allows for multiple copies of the same NPC to be placed throughout the world without having to create individual copies (Bandit001; Bandit002, etc.)

Finding reference IDs in-game
With the console open, click on an NPC, and their reference ID will appear.
