Fireball Spell Problem/Bug


Hibiki54

Recommended Posts

My character is a pure mage with little to no armor/weapon skills. I play more of a support/artillery for my followers using Amazing Followers Tweak so I can have 2-3 distractions while I spam spells and heal.

 

On to the problem...

 

My main spell for suppression was Fireball. The problem is that when I cast fireball, it does not explode. I repeat, IT DOES NOT EXPLODE. Now, I have tested this with a staff of fireball that I have in my golf club bag and the spell works perfectly with that. I am not sure if NPCs have that problem since most spell caster I face are either staggered by my dual casted spell and swarmed by my followers or paralyzed and pretty much dealt with before they have a chance to do anything.

 

 

I am NOT running any mods that modify spells. I'm using all vanilla spells to handicap myself on Legendary difficulty and Deadly Dragons.

Also encountering this bug. Not sure if it's mod related or not. I'm fully patched running SKSE, SkyRe, and Better Vampires.

I am also having this problem. I thought it might be one of the mods I installed that was causing the issue. However, upon further research, this might actually be a bug within the game itself.

 

If anyone has found the solution to the problem, please let me know.

 

Thank you.

i'm having it too. i've no magic mods per-say (like Apocalypse ect) but may have mods that effect some aspects of magic (npc stats, follower spells ect)

 

edit: hmm. if i learn fireball from the tome, it has no explosion, tho the staff and scroll do. but when i do help fireball in the console, i see a spell fireball aoe. if i add that spell to my player thru console (it's literally called "Fireball AOE" in my spell list) than it has the explosion

It is AFT's no friendly fire. Apparently it was not actually fixed just hacked to reduce ALL AOE effect to zero - making most of them useless. If the damage/stunning/knockdown had been increased to compensate it would have acceptable, but they were not, so this is a massive bug.
