Cleric of Asmodeus, does the game save the bodies if they are empty? (ie, if you have taken all loot from them)
Good question.
Short answer: I conducted an experiment and I think the answer is "mostly no." Details below. Basically, I went to Temple of Shelyn, left the zone and grabbed all the tower shields and crap upon exiting, dropped them on the overland map, returned, and it looks like 90% of the "Paladin of Shelyn <dead>" entities have been removed from the mod's listing of entities for the zone. But there are still 2 more remaining and I can't find them in the zone nor do I see any available loot in an exiting the zone window.
I suspect that if you didn't want to use the mod, but did want to purge items, you could do the following: Upon exiting a zone, take everything. As soon as you hit the overland map, drop everything you don't want. This seems to capture the majority of crud.
However, the mod adds a 'clean' button to that zone exit window that just appears to delete all of the unlooted loot in the zone if you are feeling brave and lazy.
Longer answer:
Right now, it's a little unclear, here's an experiment I just conducted:
- Went to Temple of Shelyn
- In the mod, it lists a dozen or so "Paladin|Priest of Shelyn <enabled> <dead>"
- There were about half dozen or so paladins that still had tower shields and half plate that I now looted by exiting zone
- Exited zone
- (dropped the items while on the world map to delete them and lower my encumberance)
- Re entered zone
- Mod lists less entities than before, 2 Dead Paladins and 4 or so living priests.
- I can't find the dead paladins anywhere in the zone and their loot doesn't appear on the exit zone UI.
... Fuck. Not even saving Kresten then going back worked for him. F Old man, it was a good run
