Well, I kind of meant what with Corprus disease being created by Dagoth Ur, would its continued existance rely on him still being alive? Dagoth Ur was using his god powers to spread it with the Blight, without that were the infected cured when he was defeated or did they remain infected? Brielfy looking around I don't think there's any lore on the matter.
I guess it would depend on whether it was an actual disease or a god power mimicking a disease. I think if it were an actual disease then it would continue regardless.

@Teneb: Did corprus disappear along with Dagoth Ur? Seeing as it was his creation, a divine plague and all. I can't remember whether there's mention of it beyond the events of Morrowind.
If it didn't, it did when Red Mountain exploded, as all the infected were in the island.
Unless the Nevarine was somewhere else.  They were infected with Corprus, and was only cured of the negative effects.
I'm pretty sure contagiousness is included in the "negative effects" part. I doubt Fyr would've allowed the Nerevarine to run around otherwise. And Fyr's strong enough to do it, too.

Considering that his state of immunity provided by the disease is part of the Prophecy fulfilled, I choose to believe that corprus itself remained after Dagoth Ur's demise. Without it being propagated and spread via the Blight, however, chances are good the last victims of corprus were largely rounded up or slain, and it ceased to be an ongoing threat.

Corprus is a form of blight, and at the end of Morrowind Azura does state that the blight is gone. So probably it went away when Dagoth Ur died.

It could have stopped propagating (see above), as it was only possible to catch corprus from Dagoth-Ur's method of infection; it wasn't airborne or bloodborne. So once it stops propagating, it -will- die out eventually.

Pretty sure she only means the blight storms, and that blighted creatures are still wandering around.

I kinda always figured it worked like, everything that had it is now either dead or cured-Besides of course, you. Or at least, everything else is now gone, and thanks to you no longer having the negative effects, its not contagious in any way either.

Here we go.

The Nord do bury their dead, in fact much more commonly then they do "Viking funerals"

There my 2 seconds of research done.

So the Draugr are Nord Zombies (that are oddly enough... LESS powerful then the creature they are based off of)

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards... Cubic Stealth-Based classes.
Playing a dagger sneak-attacker in TES games.

The problem is that, like, there's no point to not being a stealth whatever. Why be an archer when you can be a stealth archer? Why be a warrior when you can be a stealth warrior?

Stealth Wizard here! :V
Although it is a shame there are no stealth bonuses to destruction magic whatsoever.
All I can do is place runes on the ground though, does that count? :v

1. Learn Lightning Bolt.
2. Two-hand.
3. Cast with both hands (without Dual Cast Destruction, that's not very good).

You really are giving too much credit.

Destruction magic is ONLY good if you dual cast because the only way to have Destruction magic not fall hopelessly behind is to continuously stun your enemies.

Which is a shame because it makes a lot of spells simply useless because if you aren't stunning you are wasting mana.

Dual sneak attack (1.5x-2x damage) + 2 instant, hitscan attacks at once = kill

I've found that destruction works reasonably well as an off-hand tool. You know, switch to spell you want, zap 'em and switch back to shield. It's way too weak to rely on entirely, but it's quite handy if you're doing the paladin/armoured warlock thing.

Plus, there is the Disintegrate perk, that basically shaves off 15 odd percent off the enemies' healthbar. Bit of a slog getting there, but it's pretty rewarding turning people into little piles of ash.
