Why do my spells toss enemies around, and how can I prevent that?

Question

Is it normal that my spells (like Fireball or Flash), at level adept, toss the enemies around like hell? If I fire one of those spells on them the enemies will be thrown like 10 meters away. It looks weird and also makes looting sometimes kind of hard. Now I wonder if this is normal or if one of the mods I installed is responsible for this. All mods I've installed are just for graphical purposes, though, like textures and stuff.

Answer 1

Yes, Skyrim physics are funky that way. If you want a more sensible experience, the Realistic Ragdoll and Force mod is what you are looking for.

Reduces the extra force applied on ragdolls to a more realistic level and replaces ragdolls so that they are no longer stiff and fall at a faster velocity.
