So, I've completely built my house in Falkreath, and decided I'd top it off with a bard. I asked my steward to acquire one for me, went inside, and he was sitting at the table. However, the moment he initiated conversation with me, I get a hard freeze. Reloaded the autosave, hard freeze. Reinstalled Hearthfire, managed to have a conversation with him, then told him to play some instrumental music. I thought my troubles were over, but as soon as he steps away to play, hard freeze.
Anyone else having bard issues?
