Actually, the nautiloid tanks dealing force damage is an illustration that Larian do not actually understand what force damage is or represents. Mundane objects - not even highly explosive fuel, let alone goblin hand bombs - should never deal force damage under any circumstance. That's not what force damage is. Force damage is, specifically, raw magical energy; that is why it's so rare, and why so little has any kind of resistance or immunity to it.
Yeah. Explosions don't deal Force damage. Shockwaves don't deal Force damage. If they would deal something other than Fire damage, it would be typed as Bludgeoning or Thunder damage.
