Dying with health left in the UI after a hit?
I'm level one and using Maskar's and Oscuro's overhauls. When someone hits me (I'm squishy AF), I die and it shows about one-third HP left in my UI. Do I just die that hard the game can't catch up with the interface?

I had this issue a while back. Find whatever value your health is already at (henceforth known as "x") and add 1 point to it, then decrease it by one, like so -

player.setav health (x+1)
'-> x+1 = current health value, plus one point
player.setav health (x-1)
'-> x-1 = current health value, minus one point

That should fix it for you.

Hey thanks so much for the response.

I take it this is a console command? I know how to do those so great.

Is this just a fix for WHEN this happens, or is it one-time fix for my character?

Either way, thanks.

It should fix it for good. And yes, it's a console command, activated with ~

It seems to increase my health?

player.setav health 56
player.setav health 54

It doubled my health or so.

Also I noticed it's when I get hit by power attacks. Now I don't die with health left, but can I lower my health back to 55?

EDIT: So setting it back works by changing health value to 1, but upon further testing, I still die with about a quarter of my health left? Are we sure this isn't a function of a power attack doing a lot more than 55 and the UI just lying to me about having a third of my HP left?

If it's actually a glitch, maybe I should add a third of 55 to my current health to even out the glitch.

Any opinions are appreciated!

Yeah you can lower it back to normal, do this -

player.setav health -x

where x is your current health, then do

player.setav health x

where x is whatever you want your base health to be.

Okay, I'll load and try this since maybe my way was improper.

Update, I gave myself about 18 more health or so, and now I truly have about 1/3 to 1/4 of my health remaining after getting power hit from full.

With my original HP this would have meant the power hit would take me to -2 health from 55, and this leads me to think it WAS a display glitch, but I am rather dense sometimes so who knows... lol.
