Problem: loot bags are easy to miss, they blend in with the rocks, are often covered by grass, etc. They are small and even if you more or less remember the location, finding them can be difficult.

Ideally, corpses should not be removed until they are looted. This is both much more appealing visually, does not create weird despawn animations that interfere with immersion and makes it much easier to find your kills. It helps when hunting several animals, killing a player's horse and then coming back for its loot, killing a player and continuing fighting without being afraid of missing the small bag full of steel armor.

If for some reason (performance, maybe) leaving corpses behind is a bad idea, the loot bags should be made artificially more visible. For example, light them up make them glow, coloring nearby area differently or something. Even the red bag with your own loot is not particularly visible, it is just a simple indicator that it is your loot, not someone else's body. Yes, that will look weird and not nice from the immersion perspective. But it improves gameplay and the disappearing corpse of a massive armored horse is no less immersion breaking, except now you can't even find where all its loot is.
