Strange werewolf bug, can't inflict damage.

Post » Thu Nov 15, 2012 10:14 pm

Hello there, i'm making a new thread here as i've yet to find anybody with the same issues, even the mighty google failed to turn up results.

I have encountered a wierd bug, when in werewolf form, my character cannot damage any NPCs even by 1hp. When attacking, anything hit will simply be "pushed" around, causing no damage. This is true for all forms of attacks, power, regular ect ect. Only howls seem to work.

My first idea was this was dawnguard causing this, what makes it very strange is that It was working fine on the first day or 2 after downloading Dawnguard, then suddenly i can't hit anything. No new mods were added or removed during this time.

Steps taken to fix:
Disabled all related werewolf mods, Disabled Dawnguard, attempted earlier "working" saves with & w/o the mods enabled. Nothing has worked.
The only two mods I use that are related are Tales of Lycanthrophy & Better Werewolfs. The only thing I have not tried is creating a brand new character and playing with only dawnguard installed to see if this is an exclusive issue... And sadly I do not have that kind of time / Patience.

I would like to point out that I use a modified character at level 100, reverting this to lvl 45 & testing a working save produced no results. So i feel this has nothing to do with it, as it worked fine before. Even after installing dawnguard and playing about halfway through, it worked fine... Suddenly it's not. Outside of being a werewolf, there are no issues with dawnguard or my copy of Skyrim. Gone are the random CTDs that plagued my system for months & other random issues.

In addition, through tales of lycanthrophy I can make NPCs into werewolves. One of my custom companions can transforms / damage NPCs like normal & is unaffected by this bug.

Any ideas, help, suggestions ect ect are appreciated. But the purpose of this post was mostly to see if others are effected by this, and to make the community aware of it if so.

i don't have a bug like that, but my werewolf bug is that my character doesn't transform at all, and sometimes i can't go into my inventory, or go into first person view.

Would like to chime in that I was able to find / fix my issue.


After randomly deciding to do some unarmed combat, I noted I wasn't able to hit NPCs the same way in werewolf form. So I targeted my self in 3rd person through the console, and hit myself with a getav unarmeddamage command... Which turned up -457..... No clue how this happened. Simply using a forceav unarmeddamage 100 I was able to hit stuff again with my fists, and in werewolf form. Not sure what the default damage number is, i'll dig it up later :x.


Also have no clue how this attribute may have been reduced like that, seems pretty random.
