Not sure what is going on but, basically scripted events aren't firing, or fire very very late.

For instance, if I am wearing the ring of namira and I feed on a body, my character doesn't animate or feed on the body at all. If I switch rings, I still get the option to feed on any corpse I loot, but nothing happens.

In addition to that, I have a scripted shout that summons my horse called "whistle". It never/hardly works. If I use it, I hear no whistle and nothing happens. Maybe 15 minutes later, in the middle of a dungeon I might hear the whistle, or get a message that horses can enter my location, clearly the event was firing very very late.

Other instances are Word walls, I can't learn any new shout words. The walls animate, but don't get dark and just sit there making noises.

I am constantly seeing a graphical effect on my character that appears to be the drain effect from my Mace of Molag Bal.

I am running SKSE, and Script Dragon. But I have removed both for testing, and it still seems to occur.

A new character doesn't suffer from this problem.

Is there any way to see running scripts? or maybe current quest stages I am on? any console commands to help me out here? I am totally stuck/lost.

That helps. A lot, actually.

Try waiting 31 in-game days to see if that helps.

31.. phew that will take a while. I will get back to you, but it doesn't always seem to be based on time, but rather script triggering. Sometimes doing certain actions will force "some" of the scripts to catch up.

For instance. I was activating an enchanting table, and I had like 7 namira's ring feeding attempts catch up to me while I was enchanting. Really odd.

Is it possible that these issues could arise from hard-drive slowness? I have been having some serious load times due to me using a temporary ancient Hard-drive (Updating to a rediculous SSD soon). Most everything else runs pretty smooth in my game, the occasional lag spike, and sometimes conjured weapons and torches cause me to lag for a few seconds before they appear.

Hard to say without initiating the full reset period, to be honest.

It only takes ~15 minutes or so. I timed it once, but I don't want to dig that old post up of mine to verify.
