Bandit Leaders do not die?

[Crystal013]

Anyone else ever had this problem? Come across a group of bandits at a location and although you can kill all the bandits the leader takes no damage not matter how many times you or a followers hit that leader? It happened once and I thought maybe this was tied to some future quest - but happened three times of late.

Hmm, i don't know you may have to use the console command "Kill" on them. but if that doesn't work then it means they are important in a future quest.

do you have mods install? if yes use LOOT to sort your load-order and it will tell you of conflicting mods

And perhaps The Unofficial Patch can help. To add to Triggers post.

another case is, since we don't know what level you are, Bandit leaders are way harder to kill then normal bandits, if you try to go up against them with normal weapon and low skill, and settings master and above, you might struggle a bit before you see they loose some health.

Actually, just came across another bandid group and it seems female bandits in norse iron armour wearing a iron horned helm are immune to damage. Must be a mod issue.

As just written above - must be a mod issue. Have loaded a number of armour mods of late. Strange because not noted an issue when running LOOT.
