Forum:Enslaved radiers don't respawn?

I figured enslaving raiders would be a good idea because they respawn and I don't mess with any important NPCs. But like it says, they don't come back, and I know these raiders should respawn. They are the ones camped out on the bridge north of vault 101, and also the ones outside springvale school. By the end of my first run I had collared about half of them and killed the other half. when I came back there were fewer raiders, and I got all of them. Now its empty forever. Am I the only one who's noticed this? Is it a bug in my game?

I'm pretty sure the body itself comes back to life when a respawn happens. If you enslave something, the body disappears, so there's nothing to respawn. Apparently you can drag a bunch of carcasses into one area, and if you return after waiting long enough, all of the bodies will have come back to life. This created sort of a hassle for me when I fast traveled to Paradise Falls once. I showed up, and there were two creatures, I think a Yao Gwai and a bloatfly, attacking Grouse and his homey. I killed them, but the bodies fell in the entrance and were too big to drag away, so every time I travel there now I have to quickly kill something before it cuts off my supply of slave collars. The type of creature that spawns also seems to be random, so sometimes its deathclaws. Imp of the Perverse
