So... I read it, get transported. And then... I just kept getting attacked by a creepy seeker thing, but I could not draw my weapon or cast a spell - or rather, I could hear my cross bow shooting, but it was like I had zero controls anymore on my character -could not see the weapon or hands, did not seem to be doing a lick of damage to the seekers. I could not get in 3rd person mode either.
Anyone else experience this, or did I miss some key piece of info before getting transported. I was wondering if my game glitched out. I had saved just before picking up the book, so I reloaded, and went and killed the dragon priest and word wall (which I had not done prior). I'm going to try it again, but figured I would see if there was some issue or something I was supposed to do.
