Can't Search Corpses

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 1:30 pm

Ever since the very beginning of the game I have been unable to search the corpses of slain enemies without moving them around, sometimes quite a bit. I have been moving a slain nordic zombie corpse for the last 5 min. I seem to have to find a just right position to be able to search the corpse and take the loot. Not sure if anyone else is having this problem or if this was intended to be a part of the game but spending this much time positioning the dead just to rob them is very annoying but since corpses often have very valuable items on them I really have no choice but to continue.

I should also mention that this does also occur with some free sitting items like a soul gem here and there..I go to search and I end up grabbing the item and have to move it around the map for a bit before I can pick it up...sometimes I cannot pick the item up at all.

I had this but there is a simple solution. Tap A when searching bodies instead of holding it down. Tap quickly and you wont move them, there inventory will show up instAntly.
