I'm playin splinter cell at the moment and have just noticed that i have filled a toilet cubicle with dead or unconsciousness bodies.
Wonder what the most popular method of what to do with dead bodies?
Eg, - find a good hiding spot
- Dump them in a corner
- Leave them
- you sneak past guards, never attack
whats your method?

I sure am hoping you add some text...

Or this thread is creepy...

Okay, has text now, that's fine.

I either throw them into Combine energy beams or make them dance around with rockets, grenades, and bullets if I don't have the super gravity gun (as you can tell, Half-Life 2 is the only game I've been playing recently that doesn't have disappearing bodies).

For games like Oblivion it depends. I like to make a small ritual of, if I find a dead Imperial Legionaire on the road, dragging his body to the side of the road, straighten him out, place his shield and sword by him and taking his horse to the Imperial City. For villans/enemies I like to bounce them about with fireballs or lightning bolts.

Having only played an hour of the first Splinter Cell I can honestly say that I usually knock them over and toss them somewhere or get caught, cuss and uninstall the game because it bored me. Do I sound like a sore loser? Oh, well. XD

Playing through pandora tomorrow, i found a little bug where you could carry a dead body into a corner, face away from the corner and draw your weapon. This would drop the body throught the wall, leaving only a small corner of him still visible. good times.

In HL2:EP2, I give the skeleton found in one of the caches an honourable burial.

And by honourable burial I mean propel their skull to the other side of the valley thanks to the magic of zero point energy field manipulation.

If it's an area where the bodies might alert others, I tend to move them out of sight - say behind a crate or something. Otherwise I just leave them where they fall. I've more important priorities then making sure the bodies are laid out nice and neatly.

Well, that all depends on the sex of the corpse.

...

Oh, right, video games.

Pretty much the same answer.

With stealth games I rarely hide bodies - the concept never made sense to me, as the paths are always linear, therefore, providing you clear out areas methodically, everyone is either unconscious or dead.

I did in MGS4 as the areas were much more open, but I did so sloppily.

When I'm playing CS I teabag/hump bodies the usual result being a bullet in the back.

Well in World of Warcraft usually dead bodies are eated by Undead and in CoD4 I usually blow them up so there would be no traces as also with TF2. However in Half-Life 2 I prefer a tastier burning my foes and sending them into an energy beam thus disintegrating them into nothingness. Ah fun times...

I pile them high in the center of the towne, strip naked, and fire my machine guns wildly into the air screaming, "WHO'S YOUR GOD NOW?!"

Nobody fucks with me.

Stalker - I just sit back and watch the blind dogs drag them away. Preferably with time acceleration on.

I um, hmm, I either sneak by without killing everyone or i put them in bushes, or I just drag them back to the start of the level, or to a place that i know is clear.

This is why metal gear solid rocks - always a locked somewhere.

I cut the hands, feet, hair... Oh, wait, youre talking about games....

I throw them around and stuff. In most games I cant do anything.

I personaly like leaving them as markers as room that I've explored, like a very sick and psychotic version of breaking some glowsticks and throwing them into a room, to mark the room as clear...

GTA IV i repeatedly kick and punch their twitching corpse for my amusement.

Attempt to stand them back up, either using walls or random movable objects. That way, they look somewhat alive, even though that doesn't matter at all.

If I can't do that, I just leave them.

I click the left stick in, then let go. Rinse and repeat. Always repeat.

I went through a Metal gear phase of filling the lockers. And creating piles of them as the soldiers systematically look down at their fallen buddies, saying "huh?" before joining them.

It's still creepy, even with text.

I usually try to straighten them out so they look more realistic, because Oblivion's ragdoll system is really wonky. In HL2, I kneel over them and bash their faces repeatedly with the crowbar, hoping the mask will come off so I can find out what they look like. I do it with headcrabs too. Never really sure if they're dead, so better safe than sorry. If a zombie jumps me from behind, it usually receives a post-mortem beating as well as punishment.

When playing the stealthy parts of XIII, I picked one place to put the bodies, and piled them there. The only problem is that when it gets crowded, the bodies start bouncing around. Zombie sex?

Fava beans and a light chianti

...

oh...

in game...

Um...LOOK SOMETHING SHINY! *runs*

I knock guards out then shoot them in the head while unconscious and watch their heat fade in thermal vision......me and my sadism....

A warm bath full of biological washing powder to break down the flesh and soft tissues, followed by a good long soak in Coca-cola to dissolve the bones. Job done, and you don't have to buy anything weird at the supermarket to give yourself away.

What? Oh.

I tend to leave the dead where they fall in games, as a warning to others of the fate that awaits them mere seconds into the future and give them a chance to get their affairs in order and/or make peace with their programmer. Even in more stealth-oriented games like Deus Ex I choose to let the bodies pile up rather than stash them.

-Nick

In Splinter Cell I put all of the bodies in a pile. They stop to investigate every one, which makes it easier to grab them and either a) knock them out (SC and PT) or b) slit their throat (CT)

In Stalker: clear sky I prefer dragging all the corpses of my fallen foes to the nearest base, then lining the outer walls with them. *sigh* good times.

Leave them where they fall and then take artistic pictures of their lifeless bodies.

Problem is I have to keep them to myself, or else I end up having to move.

MGS3: I tend to tranq and then stab.

Force Unleashed: (obviously this is how i kill them but still) I tend to go with a subtle mix of clickly flicking the analog stick up or down for a nice mix of sending people flying up to their doom or crashing their face into the floor beneath them.

Fable: I lightning their heads off, punt that at the crowd of near-by enemies and then stand there kicking the decapitated corpse until more squishies come to the slaughter.

I like throwing corpses off of things if possible. In Oblivion with a little persistance you can drop dead bandits off this really high bridge.

i like to stack them and make it look like there are having a orgy
wonder if thats wierd

Combine that with swarm mods and you have a show, Prefferably a bloddy rts with lots of presistent bodies.
