head shot arrows dissapear

[123]

Why do the arrows disappear from the heads of NPCs?

I've never seen this, but I have literally seen arrows laying on the ground or sticking in the ground disappear right in front of me a second before I hit the button to grab them, only seconds after a battle.

You shoot an arrow in the head at an NPC humanoid and the arrow gets stuck in the corpse?

No, I mean missed shots that end up in the ground, sticking in a nearby wall, etc.

I walk up to them and they occasionally disappear before I can grab them, while I'm looking at them lol

I don't make it a habit to shoot corpses, what's the point in doing that? You don't get skill from that (you only get archery skill if you deal damage and it's based on how much damage you do IIRC).

Of the few times I have shot a corpse after it was dead, the arrow remained though I don't recall if I ever shot anything in the head that was already dead.

Because this shadow dropped cash grab is ♥♥♥♥♥♥' broken and Bethesda has turned into a pit of sloth and greed.
