Hey everyone! I just completed the Stormcloaks side quest yesterday and, of course, sacked Solitude. I've waited a few (in game haha) days and Solitude still looks like it's under siege! (i.e. flames, doors all locked, battle music playing, storm cloak officers still standing in the circle, etc.)

It will go back to normal right? I left the city and waited 3 days (that's the cell reset time right? assuming Skyrim is like Oblivion...) but what has me worried is the battle music still playing! Also, i tried to enter the city again and a message popped up saying: "Help the soldiers with the stragglers" or something to that effect. I've looked around for more Imperials both outside and inside the city but have found none.

Any insight into this would be greatly apprieciated!

I hope i'm just over reacting here, but it feels like a glitch/mod problem to me...

Go somewhere else and wait 73 game hours, then come back.

Also, you may need to finish the Civil War before the "rebuilding" can start.

Ok! Thanks so much! I'll try waiting first, then I'll get a jump on the Civil War!
