Dhegonus Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 dead bodies float for a fair while, then sink once the air leaves the lungs and fills with water and shortly rises to the surface again due to the bacteria in the cadaver creates gases, which raise the corpse to the surface agin..so er. why would you want the bodies to sink? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwnedbyscope Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 technically bodies wouldnt sink in water, unless they were drowned, the air in their lungs stays even after death, which is enough to maintain bouency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhegonus Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 depends on how they died, if the nostrils and mouth were covered and remained covered, the body would stay afloat indefinantly.. but if uncovered, air would eventually leave the body, but it also depends on the weather/time of year etc. so some of the times the body would probably always float, but then again they may sink after awhile to only re-emerge at a later date... i know my stuff about dead bodies... forensic psych graduate :) awesomedude.. why do you think murderers tie weights to dead bodies when thrown in water? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwnedbyscope Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 haha, well im not sure but i believe that the floating has to do with a havok mechanic so it may be unable to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can answer that, although it wasn't directed to me, with three hints: The Dark Brotherhood, Captain Maro and revenge. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lassenissen Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) UPDATE:I've been lucky enough to have someone show me how to accomplish this myself, so I whipped together a quick, small mod that makes bodies sink. I hope it still benefits someone other than me. :laugh: Sinking Bodies Mod Edited January 12, 2017 by lassenissen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
