Light Spells

[Fall]

anyone else noticing light spells (such as Starlight) have a really long delay before activating? sometimes i literally have to swap into 3rd person to get the orb to even appear.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Not that they are necessary at all. I've already reduced the brightness and I can still run through every dungeon without a light spell or torch.

I haven't had a problem.

not necessary sure, but i honestly enjoy using them for roleplay reasons :)

Yeah, I always switch in and out of 3rd person when casting light, very weird behavior.

It's because the light comes from a particle object that orbits the player. In 1st person, you can't see that initially as it's behind you, and thus is not rendered by the game - and so it can't give off light.

Known bug - workaround is to either switch to 3rd person and back, or just look down at your feet.

I believe I read that was a known bug that those spells didn't work properly in 3rd person and you had to switch to third person and back again apparently that's one bug they do intend to fix in a future patch.

I'd forgotten just how buggy their games were.
