LE NPCs don't cross "Wall of" or "Circle" spells.

[Hyfrith]

Basically, has anyone ever thought that it was dumb that NPC's, especially generic living NPCs like Bandits or Soldiers or even undead like Draugr, will just run straight through a wall of fire to attack you?

The "Wall of" spells are pretty useless in the game anyway since you may as well just shoot fire at the enemy instead of on the ground, but a good function for these spells could be crowd control or protection instead!

You can imagine bandits pausing in shock as a wall of flame encircles you, and undead or wild animals shying away from the flames (or undead plowing on through it, either option works), giving you time to flee, or heal or cast armour spells on yourself.

Apart from these gameplay purposes, this idea just feels logical anyway really. People wouldn't just charge through a wall of fire like they do.

Similarly, although the Guardian Circle and Circle of Protection spells have a good function already to some degree, doesn't it make sense that undead simply won't enter the circle?

Or I suppose it could be spun as: Draugr will plow through Wall of Flames spell but will avoid Guardian Circle spells, thus leaving the control of undead still within the Restoration school.

 

Any thoughts?

Does this mod already exist even?

i'd love to see this mod become a reality too. i'm a huge enthusiast for all things fire related and it'd be great if those wall spells were actually useful as barriers and things were smart enough to not just blindly barrel through them.
