Dragon Death Slide...

Post » Thu Oct 13, 2016 9:25 pm

A few times while killing Dragons, they do the infamous crash landing "death slide", even when killed while on the ground. Is there a way to get rid of their dirt path that often times covers up ground clutter like ore veins?



Autumn Watch Tower. I'd already cleared the place but was nearby at Arcwind Pointe and thought I'd grab another Dragon soul. While sneaking to the tower, I noticed a Silver Ore vein. "I'll grab that on way out." Well, I killed the Dragon on the watchtower by sneakily duel-wielding dragonbone daggers. It was just a regular dragon. It took off (with no health), did a few loop-d-loops and then skidded to halt at the base of the tower, dead as a doornail.



Guess what got covered up by the "death slide dirt path?" You got it. The Silver Ore vein is now buried.



Not that 3 silver ore will make or break my gameplay, but this happens often it seems. A more common occurrence is at Skyborn Altar, where a dead adventurer and his shield often get covered by this dirt path. Is there a way to get rid of this dirt path that covers the ground?



tl/dr:


Is there a way to get rid of this dirt path that covers the ground?

I'm fairly sure that all you need to do is avoid that area for a few game days until it resets itself.

Console, click, disable?

After further investigation, I found markfordelete worked. That command requires a redraw of the cell, though. So I visited Froki in his shack nearby. I'll try "disable" next this happens, as it sounds more direct :)



Thanks :)
