Developers love to use dead bodies to do some environmental storytelling. Occasionally, they like to make us laugh too.

Here are some that made us chuckle! youtu.be/OcEFGKBNo7E?...
a screenshot from Avowed. a head man lies next to a piece of paper labelled "Hazing note" A screenshot from the 2017 video game Prey. A dead man in a spacesuit, labelled "Grant Lockwood (Corpse)" floats in space with the moon and Earth in the background A sceenshot from Fallout 4. an NPC labelled Rory Rigwell is lying dead on a grubby muddy floor. the user is seeing what is in Rory's inventory. A screenshot from The Witcher 2. Geralt looks at a dead body in a broken hay cart. Blood is on the floor beneath it, and the body appears to be dressed in the white robes of Altair from Assassin's Creed.
