Please remove bodies >:(

AefionBloodclaw

For the love of this game, can you please FFS do something about this issue??? There have been so many posts about this, and so many players making complaints about it, and yet NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. This is beyond a joke, why can't you just get your act together and do something about this issue. Absolutely disgusting behaviour on the part of the devs, ignoring this for years and years and refusing to do the right thing

She killed her twin! Someone call the guards!

Conjuration skill line confirmed.

The way I'd like to see this modified would be to leave the corpses in place until a player rezzes the NPC in question. Could even add a few new titles for resurrection-based achievements.

Jack and Jill went to Alinor to fetch a bucket of water.

Jack fell down and lost his reverie mask...

And Jill was left holding the bucket.

Guards should come and take the dead bodies into a pile

Wildberryjack

I don't know anything about coding a game but how hard would it be to have all dead NPCs despawn when they respawn? Like at the same time at the least if not a few seconds before? Tie the two actions together.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they not

I actually really like the idea!

Put a cooldown on how quickly a corpse can be resurrected, but otherwise this would make for a nice addition.

omg yes

NPCs aren't supposed to be soul shriven, so rezzing them makes no sense in-lore... at least from what I understand of the soul shriven/vestige lore.

EDIT: as for the actual topic of this thread, I dislike the bodies too... but IMO the solution is to make crime more punishing, and add any players around to the list of witnesses that can report crimes... most of these bodies are result of loopholes in the way guard and patrols are made, IMO.

Let us kill players that kill NPCs and the problem will be solved asap. There's been a player farming Windhelm npcs nonstop for days, dead bodies everywhere.

RUINS MY IMMERSION!!!

The introduction of dark brotherhood was pretty shoddy

They could have just phased it, you character does it all the time, one example is when it looks out of the screen at you while any other player would see me rummaging in a bag. If they put a way to make murder invisible in the crown store I would definitely buy that

Uhm, you know that corpses stay longer if someone still has loot rights?

If they are empty for everyone, they go pretty fast to Oblivion.

Allowing players to be witnesses is broken af especially since they can easily see you in sneak outside pvp. hard NO.

It's hard to believe this wasn't fixed long ago.

If critter corpses can disappear quickly, I don't know why NPCs can't. Having bodies pile up while the same character is nonchalantly standing around is unimmersive and looks utterly ridiculous.

This. They disappear in a few seconds when they're cleared out. It's the same issue as with partially looted chests and alchemy nodes with just worms in - people don't pick up after themselves!

Absolutely. Crime if anything needs more support in the game, not more undermining by letting players grief you. I don't think people should be able to sneak up on their own faction in Cyrodiil and Blade of Woe them in the back because they roleplay as a spy in the enemy ranks, or run around healing world bosses because they roleplay as a rare creature nature preserver.

Starlock

It's not an issue.

NPC corpses persist longer if those who damaged them do not loot them. This applies to all NPCs in the game. Would you rather all NPC corpses despawn after five seconds? Because that's about how long it takes for them to disappear if you loot them.

This is the one thing that cracked me up about Skyrim... all the dead bodies everywhere.

Well, the way I was thinking is that players would be passive... it's just a way to solve the current brokenness of "I can murder everyone around even with all these people as witnesses" that the game currently has, you'd still be able to do it, it will just incur in a bounty or you'd have to find places with no players around.

They should phase into skellingtons.

I'd rather not hear the swish, gurgle and thump going on behind me. The corpse I can live with.

AefionBloodclaw

This is still an issue of years of player feedback. It's not that hard to solve. Please fix this issue.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

It's not so serious though that you have to keep tagging ZOS! The game mechanics regard NPCs like baddies and things that have a corpse to loot, which then goes through a designated length of time for the corpse to disapear, to respawn shortly after. I doubt they can change a core game mechanic just because people feel their immersion is being broken. This game, from a roleplay perspective, flows decently with the current NPC relations between players. And you can roleplay not seeing the bodies, most don't even acknowledge NPCs in the roleplay scenes, unless written into the DM. There is plenty immersion in this game, and while this would be nice to happen, I just think you have to look at it realistically.
