Respawning?[edit]

How are these NPCs set up in the CS - do they respawn despite being dead? If not, will the corpses persist or disappear when the cell resets? Anyone in the know? -Quill 08:09, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

The do not respawn. Rather they are set as quest items. The bodies you see will always be the same ones, but their equipment might change, as they use leveled lists. --DKong27 Talk Cont 21:17, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
All right. Then, unlike respawning containers with leveled loot, there's no need to check these for new loot on subsequent visits, since it's the same corpse you already checked on your first visit? -Quill 07:58, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Reanimation[edit]

If you are to reanimate a dead captive as most people know it will not move because it is set with zero health, is it possible to actually move them or are they permanently stuck in that place? Perhaps by a fortify health spell or something similar which would give them health and maybe enable them to move? Just enquiring before I waste several hours trying to drag the captive out of the cave. --VergilSparda 22:50, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
