The Amazing Case Of Mary Sutton

[danconnors]

I found her dead at the Taffington Boathouse, which was a pity. I decided to start a setlement there, and I figured I needed to remove her body, so as not to impact the morale of future settlers. Being unable to bury her, I discretely dumped her body in the river or lake outside. Away she floated.

But when I revisited the place a few days later, there was her body, back on the second floor of the boathouse. This time I dragged the body quite a distance down the shore before dumping it. The next visit, sure enough, the body's back on the second floor, remarkably well preserved, I might add.

It seems, dead or alive, Mary Sutton refuses to leave her residence.

Some of the bodies refuse to delete themselves, I had to use the console to delete them. The body right outside of Sanctuary is another that won't disappear. Even after I marked it for deletion it came back.

One thing I did with the Suttons, I dragged their bodies to a patch of grass, deleted the corpses, and plopped down a few gravestones.

Now that I think about it, there's a live Sutton at Warwick I think. I wonder if they're related.

Kind of reminds me of one of Edgar Allen Poe's stories.

in not only her, a lot of bodies remain where they are, like ulfirc stormcloack, but at least for ulfirc it was a bug corrected by the unofficial pach, is just too early to demand a pach for it, like for the bugged quest and npc legendary vendor that wont go in your settlement whidout console command

It's Okay. She's under a bed now. Hopefully the new settlers won't be too annoyed.

Right, the first body I came across outside Sanctuary, I moved him to the side of the road against the pillar, out of respect for the dead. I also tried to move the dead dog but he was ''too heavy''. Then, after a while I came back and the dead man was lying back with the dog. Guess he wanted to be with his pet forever ;(

Now I just walk past the dead corpses and try to ignore them.

Did you use the disable command first and then mark-for-deletion?

If I want something gone permanently, I always disable the object first and then mark it for deletion. None of the objects I've deleted in this matter have returned--- or if they are still actually returning, at least they're doing so in a disabled state so they stay invisible; out of sight, out of mind. :)

EDIT: Just updating my post. MarkForDelete can be dangerous, so using the "Zap" command is preferred.

From the Fallout 4 wikia:

zap – Similar to markfordelete except not permanently delete lesslikely to cause problem like in markfordelete.
