Animals appear invisible?

Why do animals appear invisible until I kill them, then they look normal

Verify your files. Sounds like a glitch with the file data.

I'm sure there are lots of glitches, so expect some major patching over the next few months.

Others have the issue and RELOADING a save "fixed" it for them so that's not an issue you can address by verifying the files.

One of my stupid, fluffy rats went flying around the dungeon like a balloon losing air as soon as I shot it with an arrow.

2025, a completely different engine, and Bethesda Physics are this wonky? I gotta assume it's intentional at this point.

Same issue here. I reload the area or load my last save and it's fine after that.

Is it everywhere? Because there is a certain spot where a quest is connected to that particular thing.

It's a common bug.
I was creating a character and the sleeve AND shoulder were missing. I switched to something in the menu, then back again and it was no longer invisible.

So they have some issue there with textures not being loaded. Nothing YOU can do.

I'll verify files. I've only see this so far with animals near the starting city

So far no repeated issues after restart and verify. I can't tell if it was the restart or verify, or both, but no more issue. :)
