Cast Speak with Dead not responding to the killer?

[plasticreplica]

So if i just slayed someone and i want to talk to the corpse , how do i by pass the does not want to talk to the killer dialogue? do i have to grab someone that was not present during the fight? thanks!

[Amix]

Yes. Any member who was present during the, fight can not speak with dead who is fallen in same fight. Try a party member who was not present during the fight. And it will work. I guess you are stuck somewhere?

I think, I THINK, if you use Disguise self, you can talk to corpses that you've killed

Not really stuck just an avid completionist that just needs to do everything int the game and if i see a glowy ghosty ...i wanna talk to it XD

I assumed the "doesn't talk to its killer" was just flavor text to explain away that you can't speak to every corpse.

I've on multiple situations use speak with the dead on a character I killed without problems.

I've killed people and spoken to them with the same character without a problem. In fact any dead character that glows green I have never been blocked from talking to.

It depends on the person. Corpses that won't speak to their killer will refuse to talk to the person that dealt the killing blow, but will talk to other party members that were involved in the fight.

I've found some people that won't talk to ANY party member who was involved in the fight (or maybe did damage), but were willing to talk if you swapped in someone who wasn't in the fight to begin with.

Just chiming in to confirm that if you use Disguise Self you can speak with these dead NPCs

Moderate necro to say this is not universally true.
if you trying talking to the githyanki inquisitor with or without disguise self he won't talk to his killer. Swapping party members does work however.

As The Brit said, I confirm using Disguise Self to speak with dead works, I disguise myself as Masc Strong Drow to speak with Nightwarden Minthara for example.

There are a rare few who will talk to their killer undisguised. One is in the Goblin camp, and asking who killed that one results in an outburst but continues to answer questions. There's the person with the underground lair of horrors who'll talk (laden with spite) with or without disguise. (I guess given how powerful that character was, a disguise doesn't matter.)

Your advice worked for me, so I think you thought correctly.

This does work, since I get unlimited casts of disguise self as Gloomstalker Ranger I've used this trick several times.
