I understand that because the Watcher can see the lost souls, the lost souls can see the Watcher. But sometimes just the regular dead people are staring at you. Maybe they are fake dead people?

I noticed this happens with the corpses of the team who went to Poko Kohara before my team.
Uploaded a save. To recreate you need to sneak on a dead person and press Tab. I've made a save next to the last corpse who did that. On the previous level there was another one (on the first screenshot).

That's hilarious)

There are souls in both cases but you can't interact with them all for gameplay reasons

There was also a bug about dead people leveling up, right? Guess people in Deadfire don't know they're dead.

Heya Galagraphia,

 

Thanks for the post! We have this super hilarious bug recorded already and are looking at, unfortunately, fixing it for the future.

 

You the best,
