Problems with mages

Post » Wed Jul 04, 2012 10:35 am

I'm currently doing a mage themed playthrough. This is the second one since the first mage character I made was sent to deleted file hell 'cause of these glitches and this is the second post I make and since the first one didn't get replies, I think this happens exclusively to me (I guess I'm just that lucky :/).

This is an all mage playthrough so I have only mage followers and only look for what I feel are mage related quests. The problem is this:

- Everytime I put my hands up with a spell, my mage follower (J'Zargo) puts his hands up at the same time. This happens with all followers as you all

know. And every time I change spells, either with hotkeys or faves menu he puts his hands down and up again. This happens a lot since I go through a

lot of spells (Candlelight then muffle and ebonyflesh). The thing is the follower AI gets confused and the follower gets stuck with his hands raised and

can't attack anymore. If in combat he just walks around yelling "I'm going to kill you" and stuff like that but CAN'T ATTACK. I should get a message on

the top left saying "congratulations, your follower is now completely useless!". This mostly happens indoors when in combat but it has happened to me

some times. I kind of learned how to avoid getting him "stuck" by not changing spells.

- But I find myself very annoyed once again when this started happening to enemy mages. Meet Master Necromancer of whatever spell he was going to attack me with (that guy in the pic). This picture was taken in Ilinalta's Deep while doing the "Azura's Star" quest. This place is full of necromancers and 3 of them were stuck like this (see picture) and couldn't attack me. They wanted to but were unable to.

- This glitch is happening to ALL MAGE followers (I've tested all) and seems to be happening to enemies to and this started happening after patch 1.5.

- I would like to know if this is happening to anyone else and if anyone knows how I can fix this. To make a further request that someone tests this out with a mage companion to see if this happens. It's really easy: just go through any dungeon with a mage follower and change a lot of spells or weapons and I guarantee that he will get stuck.

Thanks for reading :)

When in doubt use a shout? I unno if it'll work but seeing a follower fly through the air seems to help my stress level out, but I've heard it can help something's
