Would there be a reason to cast a higher level version of a spell if there is no difference between it and it’s lower level version?

For instance:

Speak With Animals II seems to be the same as Speak With Animals I. There are other examples with other spells, but is there a reason to cast the different versions? Cost seems the same, effect seems the same…

On PS5… If I walk too close to them, I’m stuck in a attack targeting system that I cannot get out of. Sometimes I can switch party members to fix it, but if the entire party is close enough- everyone is stuck. I’ve had to reload saves because I cannot get out of this.

The game wants me to attack the barrels and won’t let me not do it.

Both seem like they’d be a lot of fun. And I’m torn! Help me decide?

Right now my monk is level 5 half wood elf if this makes any difference.

Anything explosive blows up whenever I get near it. I can set the party to stand clear of barrels, boxes, etc- and if my character goes anywhere near them- it blows up. No fire sources on me at all. Not holding torches, not using fire weapon….

Anywhere I go, I explode if there’s anything flammable.

WTF kind of bug is this?

I’ve never seen a more impactful performance on the subject of mental health. This is gutted me.

EDIT: not sure why it’s being downvoted. Don’t care, but still- I’m a bit confused by it.

Haven’t seen it mentioned, but they’re not working for me anymore.
