COMPANION QUESTLINE SPOILERS, if you haven't done this bit yet.

OK, so after declining it at first I went back to the Companions for the full initiation (IE, transformation). I wake up (I knew that nvde mod just to make my body match my face texture was gonna cause unintentional lulz at some point), Aela chats with me, and off we go to go kill some Silver Hand...

...but none of my skills work. I can't tell if it's a bug or just trying to force me into beast form (I can't use beast form either, though she did tell me I should rest up a bit before I can use it again).

I can equip items, but if I try to use my hotkeys from my favorites menu, or even click on spells to equip them, nothing happens. Can't equip a shout, either. So I just closed out for the day, decided to see if this is working as intended.

So...help?

sounds like you cletched when you changed back from wolf form, happened to me once I had to reload a previous save.

Ah OK. I'll try that. Thankfully I don't think I have to go back very far, I should have a pretty recent save.
