well I guess I'm either gonna have to just wait until a patch (this has been an issue with no official acknowledgement for like a month now?) or maybe try to find what's bugging out my game. do the "nonzero" corpses despawn like regular ones after a long rest? because if that's the case then my run might just be screwed. but if it isn't, does anyone who's had luck finding their bugged NPC wanna share any tips on locating it? like does it show up on the minimap or is it even highlighted in any way? the only thing I can think which I've already tried was mod my movement speed way up but that didn't help all that much really, it's not that big of a zone
They do despawn. Your only hope when that happens is to reload an older save (either from before the fight or before you long rested). They acknowledged the bug for the first time last week so hopefully the upcoming patch will include a fix (whenever that is). Tracking the bugged NPC down can tricky since it can happen to any enemy. You can look through this thread to see some of the more common enemies that were affected.
