With this new world and this abundance of foliage, it's kind of hard for me to spot any corpses to loot, especially humanoid enemies in the Western Hive territory (the forest/river/swamplands). There's just so much grass that it feels like I am the one who is feeling the "foliage-stealth-effect-which-isn't-implemented-yet" feature. Would it make it easier for us to find these lootable bodies if they were outlined with a bright color so they would be easier to spot?

Basically it's a straightforward feature. Lootable corpses will be outlined with the color white. And incriminatable lootable corpses will be outlined with the color red. Oh, and a conscious character needs to be near that corpse too. About like a quart foot from it. Or some specific skill.

Integrate it with the alt-item highlight feature thats already ingame, hold alt, get highlights, completely optional.

Didn't knew that. Hmm...

...Except that you can't do that with corpses.

Yeah. I intended to suggest that it also be made to work with corpses.

in the deserts they sticked out like beacons , now they are well hidden between stones and shrubs, collecting deceased goats is even easer than finding those nasty dead bandits. an outline would help a lot indeed :)

Yeah I like the idea of the highlight on alt option, that would be helpful especially in the dark.

Bump :D
just saying I would love for this to be a feature.
My eyesight is generally pretty poor and trying to spot the bodies of a group of bandits I just robusted into unconsciousness is next to impossible

I love this idea. Make them highlight just like weapons/items/food/etc. when you press the Alt key.

Yes, I understand why you wouldn't highlight living things, to prevent exploits, but once you already killed things the characters are supposed to know where the corpses are, while for the human player sometimes is very hard to spot them in the scenery. It's a Quality of Life improvement I'd love.

We've got blood splashing all over the place now, should be way easier to spot bodies, no? I really can't tell since me base ground is relatively barren, and i'm long past the bandit looting phase :)

yeah I really haven't needed it since the blood came out. just check the big pools of gore, that's where you are most likely to find them. :-)
