Imagine for a minute that you live in a world similar to that of Diablo. You are happily out questing one day, and you are slain by a goblin. You then respawn in the nearest town.

You set off questing once again, and happen to come across your mangled corpse. Forget the implications of this quote for a second "I foresee two possibilities. One, coming face to face with herself 30 years older would put her into shock and she'd simply pass out. Or two, the encounter could create a time paradox, the results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum, and destroy the entire universe!" - Doc, Back to the Future Part II .

Do you now take it upon yourself to go ahead and pick your own pockets and loot your shit, because, well it belongs to you in the first place. Or, do you leave your own corpse to rest in piece and take it off somewhere safe before someone else can come along and loot your corpse.

Use the corpse as a food source/meat shield after I looted it.

If my consciousness is not contained within, it is not me.

Loot my corpse. It is my stuff, and my body. I can do what I want with it.

Well, it IS me, so I'm perfectly fine with me looting myself. Of course, I'd bury my body as well. I'd like to be buried when I die.

Take the loot. I have no problem stealing from myself. A question of ethics indeed. Pah!

If you can link any argument to Back to the Future logic, than it is obvious that the argument is null in void.

I am watching Back to the Future II at the time of writing this and that part was just on.. so I just sort of happened.

Loot then give myself a proper burial, shedding a few tears over my own beauty...

I wouldn't be able to loot myself, because no goblin would be strong enough to slay me. Hell, I'd be able to take out a massive uber-l33t dragon pretty easily, since I'm such a great sniper, so no petty goblin would have the stealth needed to sneak up on me and kill me. But assuming it did happen, it's looty time :D

If I died to a goblin, it probably isn't very good stuff to begin with. But considering games like that where you loot almost everyone and everything, even if they were minding their own buisness and you're steamrolling the area, i'd probably loot.
