He didin't know the name of the room or its function. What words would he search for? Room? Dead? NPC? X-shaped? Purple lights? Octieve?

Okay, we'll take your advice anyway. I just now did a search for the words "dead room." Apporoiximately ten minutes of poking through threads that contained those two words brought up nothing whatsoever.

Some people don't live on these forums 24/7. Some people don't have every topic that has ever been discussed in this forum memorized the way you evidently do. Some people actually have other interests in life. They are not "professional forumites." They just want to discuss something interesting they think they discovered without being rapped on the knuckles by some wanna-be moderator.

Always a pleasure
Well no, that was just an example of a how random events kill NPCs. The dragon that killed the smith in Riften was seen and slayed, but the fact that it had murdered the smith wasn't discovered for days afterwards, after I did a casualty check of the battle. .

The fact that he gets stuck on the hill should not cause him to be recognised by the game as killed. He probably died in some kind of fight which you triggered but then did not witness.

That fight could have occurred for any reason - he could have defended you from guards, he could have attacked a dragon, he could have been attacking something and hit a friendly to get an assault bounty.

Thanks very much for confirming my understanding.

Somehow reminds me of the Tiber Septim Hotel back in Oblivion, every time I entered, Minotaur lords and bandits ended up there. But they were alive and clothed

thats all you've killed ? really ? lol , pretty weird though thanks for sharing

Thank you! I've been racking my brain trying to think of that! Thats Wolfenstein to a tee!

Dead Thrall Time!

Is their something like that for Skyrim?

Thay forgot to bring 2gold picecs to pa the farryman, now thay cant cross the river stix
( i forgat how to spell)

Looks like a nice place to hang out at when you need to chill out with them dead folk.

Do not use the doors, for oblivion awaits the fool who tries!

I haven't bothered with that room for a while now. On my most recent char I decided to take a look just now. Synda Llanith, a mere farmer is laying in there underneath Grelod the Kind.. poor farmer. Not sure what may have happened to her. I have the SIM travelers mod installed so a lot more assassins and such. So quite possibly a victim of something like that.

Nothing so great. You just fall back into the room. Twilight Zone perhaps, but not Oblivion.

Yep.

I did a few resurrect commands and some placeatme commands and brought back some of my favorite NPCs to Skyrim.

That's what I meant ---> moveto player

Sounds like you pissed off Vaermina and she place put you to sleep in a nightmare.

It can be a bit depressing if you look in the Dead Room to see what's there and find someone. I found a Windhelm-area farmer named Belyn Hlaalu and I have no idea what happened to him. The other body was Roggvir...no head on him either.

It's funny you should mention that name. I just saw him in my game yesterday, walking down the road toward the stables. I'm guessing he regularly walks around outside the city and that it was probably on one of these walks that he ran into trouble in your game.

I'm further guessing that the main reason he's still alive in my game is that my game is still pretty new: around10 or 12 hours. I bet that later on when my game is hundreds of hours long he will probably walk too close to a bear or saber cat and die in my game too, and I won't even realize it.

Roggvir is the guy who got the axe in Solitude I assume almost everyone can find him in there.

I've only got quest-related npcs lying completely naked in that room, Louis Letrush included. Although I've never killed Letrush (well, the orc did ...), and quite a few of him are standing outside Whiterun. Again. And the bosmer from Diplomatic Immunity is also in that room, he's the only one alive there.

The Dunmer farmer was in there earlier when I checked the room. I checked again because of a dragon attack right in Kynesgrove (not the MQ or up the hill above the town) and the Revelers were there in town and all heck broke loose before the dragon was brought down. All kinds of people were fighting and ran out when it was over and I thought for sure someone must have gotten killed but luck was on our side because everyone made it...couldn't believe it.

No he didn't. It's an actual place murder someone go away wait till the body dissapears. Then use console to TP. You will find every dead NPC in your game so far.

But here you can wake up and leave.
