[Corpse Decay including actual Decomposing]

This is a request that really needs much MUCH more brainstorming if it ever has a hope of being born... so let's assume it's after conception stage, and it's in "pregnancy". I'd like to first share my unimportant opinion on the current decay methods, if you're an author of either mod mentioned below, PLEASE don't take it as a negative comment, they both do a wonderful job - I'm just... disturbed. Watch

to know why ;) don't watch if you can't handle scientific truths as they are, it has a decomposing pig body.

 

vanilla 'corpsing' method:

body -> leave zone -> dissapear

:yucky:

- oh god! WHY!! :wallbash:

 

Reneer's corpsing method:

body -> 2days -> zombie -> chance to rise

zombie -> 2days -> skeleton -> chance to rise

skeleton -> 2days -> ash

ash -> ?fades

:confused:

- skeletons last a long time.. how else dya manage to dig 'em up 1000's of years later?

 

Mcaleb's decompose corpse:

body -> cast spell -> poof!

o_O

- oh c'mon man, there's a *reason* its a god/cheat mod, I'm too hard-headed for *that*!

 

So, how can this suggestion below be realised into full term, ready for birth?

I really wanna start from the beginning, once it's been posted, it's just been 'conceived', and I'd really like to build small from there. However, i've zilch modding experience and am about to study full time, I'm volunteering for a bit longer then I get a job - not a good time to start learning. Looks like I gotta hand this "pregnancy" over to everybody else, take care o' ma baby? IF I can learn modding no matter what "you guys" do, I will try to do it myself - but that might be a long time and is conditional on whether or not anyone absolutely blows me outta the water. It's a toughy though..

 

IDEA:

 

I'd love it if decay would pass relative to whatever rate time passes in oblivion, within a realistic time frame for the size category of the body

 

pallor mortis

algor mortis

rigor mortis

livor mortis

decomposition

skeletonisation

 

It doesn't have to be perfect, unless some freak <_< some WIERDO >_> would sit there staring at it.. :whistling: not me! I'm normal. :sweat:

 

quote myself:

Although i think it'd be more realistic to have a permanent skeleton, and not forgetting how much bugs <3 corpses! There's gotta be bugs! "-P Perhaps in conjunction with an insects mod? Oh and did I forget to mention how Ravens like to eat eyes? It's just idea's but, it'd be cool.

 

aaaand there's a bunch of sites below as food for thought:

Encyclopedia of Death and Dying

Death - the last taboo

How long does it take a human body to decompose after it's been completely decomposed?

['Allo 'Allo?]

All stupidity - welcome and encouraged. Please nothing overly explicit, it ruins the idiot charm.

 

HeLLo!
