I know we're warned that corpses don't want to talk to their killers, but after killing Spike (I tried to take him alive but he kept waking up to recommence fighting and after the fourth time I gave up) I tried speak with dead and he was somewhat forthcoming (nothing really useful but not zilch either - additionally it earns you favor with Wyll if you let him ask the questions). Conversely, Minthara was "this corpse is willing to talk, but not to its killer". Is this consistent from character to character or do you suppose there are saving throws involved and there was a chance of getting some info from Minthara's cadaver? Has anyone else tried this? It makes me wish I'd fought the Gith more often (so far I've killed them once and talked past them a couple of times) and queried the body of the named one as to where the nearest creche is (my assumption is that even if her body proved talkative it would not actually have useful information on this as her creche is probably not local). My first time fighting I tried taking her alive before I realized that it wasn't a coincidence I was only getting 1 or 2 points of damage and that this was not a viable strategy when the enemy could multiattack...
