Corpse disappearance

Post » Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:42 pm

So I wanted to loot an entire dungeon but since the encumbrance limit will not allow that I stacked all items on a deady body. I will then teleport once I put them all there and retrieved them. It seems however that this corpse has disappeared. Any way to retrieve the items still?

Corpses disappear after 72 in-game hours. Unless you visit the cell again before that, or the corpse has Corpse Persist toggled on. (but very few corpses have that)
Your safest by just leaving the items on the ground. They will not disappear.

If you're on PC, and you know the ID of the item you want, just use the console.
Player->additem "ID of item" 1

The TES wiki has all the IDs for the objects in the game. Or check it in the CS.

Jup, I guess I have no choice. Good to know that it is 72-hours though I always thought it were 2 weeks .


Thank you, anyway.

If you still want to stuff your things into dead bodies (you sicko you), there's http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Permanent_Corpses of those that never disappear.

Thanks, but I think that I'll stick to house mods. I just do this when I want to loot an entire dungeon.
