Forum:Question about dead bodies in your house

Okay, my question is, do the bodies of NPCs killed inside your home disappear over time or will they lay there forever? The whole reason I ask is because at the moment I'm playing out a sorta psychotic, serial killer chick and it sounds weird but I need a dead body or two to stash in the extra room in my Megaton house, lol. I was thinking I would use a temp. follower like Red or Shorty from Big Town for the corpse. Does anyone know if they last or not? --Esscex 05:08, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I normally don't like bumping but can anyone help me? --Esscex 04:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I'd like to help but I have no idea, and I don't know that anyone else does. You could try saving, kill them, then go outside and use the wait command for about 10 days and that should give you a fairly reliable answer.Cavesloth 17:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)Cavesloth

Lol, yeah I guess I'll just test it on my own. I just don't want to kill someone in there, then go off and make a lot of progress in the game only to realize I killed a possible companion/pack mule just so it could disappear after a few days. --Esscex 03:04, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Having a few corpses stashed at home sure sounds interesting, so does that work? Was thinking of having a room like that at Andale.

If your on PC you can select the bodies in the console and type "disable" DragonJTS 16:48, 28 April 2009 (UTC) I don't think they stay there, i had a few bodies in my house (12) after Charon went nuts and everyone ran on my property (Lol), but you can buy the raider house theme for like 1k caps and you'll have a fair amount of blood and dead decapitated bodies hanging.

On my last save file I killed a settler by mistake then 3 more followed me to my house and my butler killed them so i had 3 bodies in my house for the whole game paperbagguy3

Better yet, fill a spare room or corner in your place with mutilated body parts and teddy bears. FREAKY! Ishotamaninnewreno 11:25, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
