Draugr Stay Dead

[InuyashaFE]

For some reason, most Draugr stay in their tombs when I approach them, they don't come back to life or anything unless I attack them.

 

Does anyone have this problem?

You can sneak up on them. The game considers them to be sleeping when in their coffins.

Some are asleep, and activate when they detect you, so if you are sneaking they might not detect you (I love backstabbing them!)

 

Others are asleep, and wake up only on certain trigger, like you step through a doorway and several wake up at once down the hall way before you reach them

 

Finally other are actually dead, and never wake up, as you approach them it gives you option to search their body

Problem is that I'm rarely sneaking up on draugr, I just walk by them and they don't awaken, and that applies for the living ones, I can tell if some are actually dead or not... :confused: Ruins draugr ruins for me.

[SHIROryuu]

Sometimes they are triggered. So they won't awake unless you do something, such as tripping a trap, opening a chest. Script based events.

 

Just give them a good slap in the face and then they will wake up.

Just my opinion, I think some just stay sleeping till you hit them or some how annoy them, I dont think it's a glitch just beth trying to mix it up and not every undead want's to kill you on sight.

have you skilled sneak that removes walking / running sound and OR wearing light armor / cloth ? maybe that brakes the draughrs
