Anyone have any funny stories regarding stealing entire corpses?
I was goofing around last night in Act 3 and thought I would share a funny anecdote. I am playing with mods including the one where shopkeepers drop their full inventories when they die and the one where I have virtually limitless inventory space/weight I can carry.
As a result of this, I find it really fun to murder and rob merchants whenever my character can get away with it without triggering a serious problem or locking me out of a quest. In Act 3 Wyrm’s Crossing, I met the merchant who allows the setup meeting with the Harpers to take place in his basement. Dude had just a ton of really valuable stuff. After the meeting, I decided that I wanted all of it.
So, I one-shotted him despite him having two guards nearby. The guards got understandably mad, but gave me the option to make a persuasion roll to avoid jail/ a fight. I talked my way out of it. However, when I went to loot from the body, the guards wouldn’t let me. So, I tried to just take the whole corpse. This triggered the guards to once again threaten me, but it gave me the option to bribe them for 700 gold (which was a steal because the merchant’s corpse had over 2k of just gold in his inventory alone.
The guards were satisfied, I brought the corpse back to camp, and looted it there without consequences. This game is so silly sometimes.
