pulled this from the forums, its a little long but its lol
"While I was sitting in my Skingrad house I figured I'd go and check out my chests with loot I gathered throughout the many hours I've been playing this game.
"Damn. 20 Daedra longswords. I could easily sell 15 of those for some nice money and keep 5 for different enchantments", I thought by myself. And it wasn't just multiple instances of longswords, but also armor and other stuff. Prolly about 300k to 400k of loot in total.
It was about time I'd go to the chick at the weapon shop two houses from my place to sell some of this stuff and get me some nice coin, so I started to select stuff I was going to sell at the shop. Fun didn't last long though, pretty soon I was getting the message that I was too heavy to move.
"Crap. If I'm going to do it like this, walking between the shop and my house several times, it's going to take a damn long while before I have all that stuff sold", I said to myself.
So I come up with an idea. I'm going to make myself a walking closet. (ie, a dead body I could store stuff in and revive so it would follow me to the shop). I have that staff from that dude who was the leader of them Necromancers (staff-of-worm-something) which can be used to revive the dead for 30 seconds.
I go walking around town to find myself a nice victim, but after walking around for a while I thought by myself that it would be a bit akward to kill one of the friendly folks in my neighborhood. Then I remembered those students at the Arcane University in the Imperial City who were quite eager to follow me around if asked, mainly because I'm Arch-Mage.
So I take a trip to the university and find myself a nice fresh Mage student girl and tell her to follow me. Take her back to my Skingrad house and lead her to the room upstairs where all my stuff is stored.
As I pulled my sword, (no pun intended!!) I heard a voice in my head say: "Dude, you're sooooo going to get expelled for this. They will kick you out of the Mages Guild for killing a fellow Mage".
So I come up with one of my ingenious plans. I put my sword away (again, no pun intended!! ROFL!), walk over to the Mage student and punch her straight in the face! As expected, one punch didn't kill her, but it did make her go all medieval on me. She pulls her magic enchanted lightning sword, starts throwing fireballs at my *** and stabbing me with electricity.
As clever as I am, I run out of the room (remember, I can't kill her!), downstairs, exit through the balcony door, jump down towards the street, and run towards the city gate, screaming like a little girl who just met the boogeyman.
As expected, the Mage student follows suit, still throwing fireballs at my ***. The guards at the city gate see this and gang up on the girl. They kill her quite easily. Ofcourse it wasn't really that fair, seeing as they were with like 4 of them and the Mage student, well, alone.
So there we are. 4 pissed off city guards returning to their posts and 1 dead Mage student on the streets. Excellent! I use the Worms Staff to revive her and I walk back to my house. She follows nicely. About at the time as we stand at the chest with my stuff in the upper room, she drops dead again as the Worms Staff only revives a person for 30 seconds.
So I start collecting stuff to sell, and put it all on her. She must have had weighted like 5000 or 6000 kg or so. ROFL.
So I wave my magic Worms Staff again and whopla! She's back on her feet.
I run to the shop and she follows me. Just in front of the women from the weapons shop the undead Mage student hits the floor again. So I search her body and hooray! There's all my stuff.
After selling all that loot, I revived the Mage Student again and ran to the top floor at my house where she hit the floor again. Cool beans! I'll just leave her here so I can keep using her as my "Walking Closet" whenever I need to.
Unfortunatly, things didn't go exactly as planned. But at that time, I was still unaware of what was about to come.
I left my house to go on a new looting adventure and do some more quests. When I came back a few days later and entered my room at the top floor I immediatly noticed something was not quite right. While it didn't came to me at first, I just went on storing my new found loot and was about to leave again when it came to me. There was supposed to be a dead body here! About naked even!
Damn it. So dead bodies do dissapear. Too bad. So next time I want to sell a shitload of loot I'll just have to go to the University again for a new victim.
So I leave my house again to venture towards any quests that will come my way. I didn't really think about the missing dead body much anymore untill I entered the city gate to Cheydinhal. After the loading screen dissapeared and I found myself standing in the city, all of a sudden I get attacked!
So I'm like: "WTF! Damn guard bastards just stab me in the friggen back for no reason!". I draw my sword, turn around and literally got shitfaced at that very moment! There she was! The Mage student I set up to be killed in Skingrad was standing in front of me in the exact state I left her on the floor in my room in Skingrad. In her underwear.
Without thinking any further, I hit her with my Daedra sword and she drops to the street in 2 blows. There! But to my amazement a message popped up. You guessed it. I just got expelled from the Mages Guild for killing a fellow Mage.
Okay, that wasn't the plan. So I loaded the "Auto-Save" which was basicly right after I walked through the Cheydinhal gates, a little bit expecting that what I just encountered was just a small glitch and wouldn't happen again. But no, there she was again, in her underwear, throwing fireballs at my *** and trying to stab me with her lightning enchanted dagger.
This time I just backed up. Couldn't kill her if I wanted to stay in the Mages Guild. Luckely the city guards acted swiftly again and took her out within 10 seconds. Pfew. Now THAT was damn spooky I tell ya.
Now here comes the funny thing. Every few days, whenever I enter a building or city that requires a loading screen, she pops up and starts hacking away at me, no questions asked.
I'm getting haunted! For real! :-)
I think what happens is that she actually re-spawns every time she gets killed. She most likely just respawns at the Arcane University. Funny thing is that she didn't forget that I punched her straight in the face and thus she starts traveling towards whereever I'm located to just blindly attack me on sight.
Quite funny this, although I can get a bit annoying when I'm out in the wilderness and she jumps out of the bushes in her panties all of a sudden and starts smacking fire balls in my face. All I can do then is run towards the nearest village or city where some guards are patrolling so they kill her. Or maybe come across a bear that will take care of her.
What I'm wondering about is, is this an issolated thing or is it something that would happen for anybody?"
