(Minor Spoiler) I decided to try a lone-wolf game with 2 lonewolves but the Orc armor buried by the Orc in Cyrael's beach doesn't spawn in the game. I dig him out but his corpse is empty. Is this a feature or a bug?
I noticed on this playthrough I've been getting different loot (plate armor and such) so I can live without but I like the look of that armor.
Are you sure you are digging the right corpse? I just double-checked this on seperate loadgames and the corpse on the utmost left always drops Orc armour (the one where the Orc moves to when you convince him to tell the location).
I am also having the same problem... First time through it was there, and still using it too, second game started up with different types of characters, corpse empty...
