draedic Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Is that NPC gone forever. In this case the blacksmith in Riverwood is dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handofbane Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Yup, dead is dead. Allegedly some dead merchant-type NPCs will be replaced by family members after a while, though I have yet to see it happen, and am not certain if it only applies to player-killed NPCs or ones dead from outside influences.

Kendo 2 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I know that town guards killed by dragons do not respawn. A dead Whiterun guard stayed in the middle of the street for a full game week. I got tired of hearing the NPCS saying 'Oh NO! What happened?' and 'Oh NO! A dead body!' so I stashed him under the bridge. For whatever reason consoling 'disable' didn't work on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGatot Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Yes, I had a quest recipient killed by marauding dragons, I found out because suddenly the quest marker (and the quest entry in the journal) dissapeared. Thankfully it's just a minor fetch-type quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daventry Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Dont let any of your Faction Companions die, the Game will still think the Person is alive, then you cant do anything further but to Re-Load. Poor Alea, now im stuck and im so far into the Game for me to Re-Load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I hope the bodies do vanish eventually..... http://www.skyrimnexus.com/imageshare/images/234717-1322271598.jpg :facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboUK Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I spawned a large battle but didn't save first, now I'm stuck with the aftermath. I'll throw the bodies in the river if they hang around too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindekarr Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I spawned a large battle but didn't save first, now I'm stuck with the aftermath. I'll throw the bodies in the river if they hang around too long. For fun I threw a dead guy I found ("Breton") down DarkWater Pass, an immense waterfall near Riften, but the body just kept going and going, I was walking down by the river waaaaay north of that and it floated past me!!
