Ok, so I was fighting some thalmor agents last night during a random encounter. After fighting, I couldn't fight the bodies as usual because not only were they spread out, they were in the high grass and blended in. Now this has kept me from so pretty good loot many times, and I was really getting irritated. So, instead of heading out, I casted 'detect dead' and lo and behold, all of the corpses that had just been disposed of lit up like Christmas trees!

Enjoy!!

I never even knew there was such a spell...Thanks for the tip!

I assumed that was the point of Detect Dead.

Either way, glad to see it helped.

No problem, helps in nordic ruins as well...

^ haha and here I thought it was only used to detect skeletons, draugr, and ghosts.

the point of detect dead is to see the undead

And I thought it meant 'undead' as in in undead creatures, not corpses. More of just me being an idiot lol.
