Bards not actually doing anything

[MCGONN]

Not sure if this has been reported elsewhere, but I'm getting a bug where the bards in various taverns don't actually stand and perform in their respective corners. For example, I walk into the Bannered Mare and Mikael is sitting at the bar drinking, and when I try to brawl with him for Carlotta's sidequest, he gives me the standard "I don't have to take that from you!" and continues just... sitting there.

 

I figure something must've broken the bards' AI, but I have no idea what it could be. I'll post a list of my mods. Any help would be appreciated. :smile:

Please replace that with your BOSS log text file and enclose in spoiler tags.

Also add a list of any mods or supporting programs that BOSS doesn't manage, and another list of any mods you have removed since starting this character.

It may also help to have part of your papyrus log-- just 40 or so lines from when you are in the tavern and try to interact with a bard.

Well I feel kind of stupid saying this but the problem seems to have fixed itself somehow. Not sure what I did. Some NPCs are still kind of screwy but the game is still playable.

 

Thanks anyways! :whistling:
