Actually, what would be even better is if the bodies only lasted until they are looted clean. After that, they can emote *sinks into the ocean* and dissappear.

Nevermind the fact that taking heavy stuff off of them makes them sink...

I love this idea even though it may lack a little sense :p Of course we can just assume the items on the sea creatures create extra buoyancy or that as soon as you finish looting, the corpse becomes waterlogged.

Either way I have always hated how that works. I have had methods to prevent this myself but sometimes you just get dumb luck. Of course you can always carry a backup boat, place it when your first gets stuck and continue on. Then just recall/sail back later to get it.
