I seem to be having problems with NPC actors not doing the scripted actions necessary to perform a required action to advance to the next part of a quest.

First, it was the Greybeards not giving me the second word of the Force Shout. This bug broke my main quest at that point.

The next was in the Daedric Vaerimina Quest where I'm in the Temple with the Monk/Cultist who is presumably supposed to unlock a door but stays fixed on the stairs and will not walk over to the door to open it to continue the quest. That quest was broken.

Now, after installing the new texture pack, I tried to make a new character and when my head gets put on the block Alduin just flys around the area never landing on the tower to begin the tutorial. So, now I can no longer make any new characters. This is rather upsetting.

Does anyone know what might be causing all of this?

Having the exact same issue, looks like we have to wait a another month for a fix













Turns out my issue solved itself after restarting the game.

You may need to reinstall the game. I had a similar issue where the first prisoner to be beheaded in the opening scene does not interrupt the priestess like he's supposed to and the game couldn't procede from that point. Turned out my download was briefly interrupted and that caused some sort of error. After a fresh download and install, the problem went away.
