Cultists and draugr don't attack, plus other glitches

Post » Fri Feb 08, 2013 2:07 am

So, I've been having bugs from the new dlc (of course I was shocked :P)

First thing that I thought might not have been a bug but am certainly leaning against that thought is the fact that the draugr in the temple of miraak won't attack me. The cultists also don't attack but I'm not as sure about that one (though I believe the initial ones you meet in Skyrim should have been hostile after the dialog.) Not exactly game breaking stuff but does sort of go against the point of playing a game.

The first ACTUAL problem I had was the first time you go to apocrypha and meet miraak. He hit me w/ his lightning ran his mouth and then walked over to the dragon..... and proceeded to just stand there. From what I've read he's supposed to get on the thing and ride off while the seekers hit you w/ their attack until you wind up back in the temple. Nope, just sat there helplessly getting bombarded until they just gave up and miraak just sat there like a useless turd.

Was able to get around this by enabling player controls via the console and jumping in the weird black goo until I "died."

Next was the part where you actually have to RIDE the dragon and it wouldn't let me get on the stupid thing. The command was definitely there but it just wouldn't let me actually do it.

Hard to explain but I think both of these things may be related to animation issues. I've since reinstalled everything so hopefully w/ the vanilla animations intact, dragon riding will be A OK.

Was also able to get past that part w/ console commands, and just air walked up to where miraak was. (take THAT incompetent dragon!)

Lastly I've seen both of the known glitches where you can't hurt miraak. Hopefully bethesda will sort that mess out really soon. They're rather horrible when it comes to not fully play testing their games.

Anyone have any input on any of this stuff? Would be greatly appreciated.
