What do you do about dead NPC bodies that dont shift?

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 4:25 am

I'm on the Xbox, and ages ago Alvor the blacksmith in Riverwood was killed by a dragon(I may have accidentally hit him with an arrow, I'm not actually sure), but his body stayed there for ages. Until I dragged it to the river and set him adrift...had to keep adjusting his trajectory as he kept washing up on the shore..eventually once he went over the waterfall I left him....he could be sailing around the waters of Skyrim as we speak, or alternatively, he could be lodged in a crevice. Anyway, do you just leave them, use a console command(if PC) to get rid, or are you a creative disposer of cadavers?

Mmm... when I came accross one, I decided to dump them in the nearby river, just under a waterfall.

Problem Solved!

I did for a while, but after the 40th time I saw his wife express surprise over finding his corpse...it got old.

You're Irish right? I think the screen-name, Irish flag, signature and location sort of give it away

Do bodies dissapear if you stay out of the cell they're in for a certain amount of time? You could try that. Maybe he won't go away because you keep entering the cell.

Hmm, I've spent significant times out of the cell before, like an in game week, but I usually go back to Riverwood to sell all my stuff as the shop has the most money. Don't know how long I need to stay out of there though.

The only magic I use really are fire/ice, and enchanting magic! Doesn't really fit with my play style...plus Alvor is now floating naked along a river...I'd have to find him.
