Socratatus: They probably did this to save on pc resources originally. I`ve looked can`t find one, but with today`s pcs, surely there must be a mod that stops dead bodies vanishing away?
For NWN2....
TheLoneRaven: I'm no expert, but I recall several experiences that lead me to say that there isn't one that wouldn't be pretty big for a normal mod. See, there are instances in the game where corpses stay there, like they're dead/dying players, scripted to stay like that and not get up. Most of the time, though, bodies tend to vanish, whether after you've looted them or before the loot even drops. If you want all the bodies to stay like the few circumstances where they're already staying, you'd probably need to change the scripts for pretty much every fight encounter so that every corpse remains and doesn't vanish. And frankly, that's way too much work for such a small detail.
Interesting.
I actually tried the NWN version (Hypergore mod) on NWN2.
It worked in NWN2, up to a point... Some bodies stayed, some didn`t. Worst of all some deaths of npcs are linked to triggering a new scene, so a scene won`t start until the dead NPC actually vanishes.
I have modded, but not these kind of games and certainly not the level of actual scripting, so I can`t make a mod.
I am surprised, though, that after all these years nobody managed to make a `body-stay` mod for NWN2. Usually with popular games like this after a long time or so will have one guy who figured it out- Guess it must be nigh impossible.
Thanks for your reply.
