Avastgard Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) I am yet to see any ice spells make NPC's move slower like it happens when they use ice spells on me. I looked ofr info on this but found nothing. Actually, the UESP says there is a bug associated with this magical effect: Slow will not affect NPCs unless they're drawing or sheathing a weapon, or something changes their carry weight. It will always affect the player normally. Is there a way to fix this? It seems such a massive oversight.

SMB92 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 This is the whole reason i dont use frost at all. I hate it with a passion. NPCs with that ice spike spell ruin my day. Youd think this would be addressed by the USKP, maybe hit Arthmoor up about it. I havent thought about this one for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perraine Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It's possible they were made invulnerable deliberately. It's possible that Bugthesda thought that players might spam "slow" spells and/or it could perhaps affect certain interactions or required behaviors of NPC's for quests and such. <shrug> Just a thought.

SMB92 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hehe i could see them thinking that too. Maybe its possible to add a hard script to the frost effect that has the set.av speed code in it with a negative integer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avastgard Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 So, can you all confirm that the Slow magic effect does not work at all? How could this have never been addressed by any mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMB92 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Well, i havent been playing with SoT turned on, but none of the other mods do anything about this that i can see (OBIS, TTRSO, USKPs, SIC, MoMod, RWS, Skytest, Wintermyst, InconNPCs, AFT to name a fair few). I think my followers slow down too, from memory. I remember having to jump in for one of them because they couldnt get to the enemy (pretty sure it was Vorstag) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
