banjo2E Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Whilst doing the final portion of Sanguine's quest I happened across an enemy called a Pyromancer, which decided it didn't want to play by the rules and proceeded to quickly kill me and both of my companions over and over. The one time I managed to get its health down to about 33% it proceeded to instantly heal to full health. After some testing, I discovered that a successful sneak attack from behind with Mehrunes' Razor barely took off 1/3 of his health, and he doesn't have any potions in his inventory so whatever he's using to heal himself isn't something I can possibly counter. I felt this was a bit unfair, so I checked UESP.net for the enemy's name and discovered that neither its normal nor its boss variant are supposed to spawn for quite some time. The boss isn't supposed to show up for another 20 levels, and the regular variant can't show up for at least another 10. I can't possibly be below the minimum level for this dungeon, as it's part of Sanguine's Daedric quest and that has a minimum level of 14, more than ten levels below my current level. This leads me to believe something has modified my spawn tables to ignore level-based encounter restrictions and throw things at me before I should be facing them. I suspected something like this back when I had to fight a snow troll on the path to High Hrothgar at single-digit levels and three giant frostbite spiders outside the Tower of Dawn at around the same time, but being faced with an enemy 10-20 levels above me confirms it. The problem is, nothing in my load order should be modifying my encounter tables in this way, so I have no idea why I'm having to fight these things.
