[not a bug] Dead Njerpez weight remains fixed

[Frostbit]

I was playing around learning to mod and trying to devise a way to clean and tan #3# Njerpez scalps for ritual use when I discovered that after dropping the corpse its weight reverted back to its original value. Haven't tried it with other corpses/carcasses yet.

I guess it's proof that your hair keeps growing after you die.

This is not a bug. Carcasses have values in the game. Dealing with them ingame eg:skinning or butchering a carcass. allows the game to account for weight loss, skin loss etc. Trying to deal with them "outside" the game can be problematic in various ways. What you're seeing is "as long as you hold the object" the weight is tracked by your character (essentially). Once you drop the item on the floor it reverts to "It's" defined weight.
