I know this is probably (still) a bug, despite it supposedly being fixed by one of the "patches," but it's just annoying as hell. If this doesn't get fix by a patch or a mod, once the CK is out, I may have to resort to my annoyance removal/satisfying visual mod I made for Morrowind and the cliffracers. Which is basically, setting all of their health to 0 in the editor. And based on how things' AI and cells seem to work, (at least how it was in Morrowind) the game doesn't process the stats until you can actually get in visual range of spawned ai. Meaning, you'd get to actually watch the stupid [censored]s fall right out of the sky.
Anyway... I guess that's it for my rant. Have a wonderful day.
