I have been told by sources whom I'm not sure whether or not to trust that if one dies these days with a weapon in hand - "death hand" - it does not fall on the ground. I am not particularly inclined to believe this because the individual who said it (not in-game) had his credibility questioned and, well, aren't bonding potions still being sold?
Scuse the possibly silly question. Came back a few weeks ago and haven't died yet.
