Which corpses don't disappear after 3 days?

Post by bloodsteve353 »

I am making a necromancer character and want to fill the anvil house with corpses all over the place, which people's bodies won't disappear?

Prior Maborel from early on in the main quest doesn't seem to disappear. His body has been lying around for about two years game time on my game now.
I'll try to help if I can.

yeah the problem with prior mabelel or whatever his name is, is that when u progress to the point in the main quest when he has his scripted death, his body will teleport to the point where he is supposed to die

Caminalda vanishes. Corpse gets eaten by mountain lions. Or by M'aiq, when he runs past (he gets the munchies running from Anvil to Leyawiin).

How would you get the bodies into a house? Just wondering, because I might do it too. :wink:

Would that be considered cannibalism? I mean hes a lizard and shes an elf so technically thats fair game right?

Even using the Staff of Worms or the Risen Flesh powers, it's going to be a long haul... The corpses will zone with you...but at small durations, it's going to be a lot of castings. Best bet is to probably attack them, and see if they'll chase you all the way back to Anvil, to lessen your task!

The DB destruction mage is another who lasts and lasts...Uvani, something like that....

In my whole time playing oblivion, bodies only disapear either if i continue the questline they died in or if i get arrested... The only bodies that never disapear are console command made clones (player.createfullactorcopy/createfullactorcopy)
