BTW, I'm running all DLC, all the unofficial patches, A quality World Map with Roads, Civil war overhaul, expanded towns and cities with patches, Falskaar, hearthfire multiple adoptions, immersive armors, immersive college of winterhold, moonstone castle, opulent outfits, climates of tamriel, racemenu, Skyui, extensible follower framework (IIRC, it's EFF but I don't remember if I got the last F right) wearable lanterns, an uncapper, RS children overhaul and some patches, and a handful of extremely minor cheats (glowing ore, glowing unread books, and lockpick pro because my ears are old and I find trying to figure out whether something's been mined or read already quite tedious. At level 26, once I got past the intro, I've had ONE bug that required a console fix. When I was running no significant mods, I had mutliple glitches, often game breaking, and it took 3 different characters to get to the point where I'd done most of what I wanted to do with the base game and DLC without much alteration. So so far, I'd say the mods have improved stabilty quite a lot and made the game a lot less annoying and a lot more fun. (if you're looking at the mods, I pretty much zeroed in on every part of the game that irritated me on the full runthrough, lol! The whole "forget everything you knew about this thing you're great at" just doesn't remotely sit right for me, and the kids are creepy as heck.) When the first fully modded run one went wrong, it went wrong from pretty much moment one. Soon as I woke up the world was spinning, and it took me half the ride to helgen to figure out it wasn't just a super sensitive mouse. The sideways horse with the carriage struts going through it was a clue. It wasn't until we stopped and there were dead soldiers everywhere that I realized just how incredibly broken it had been. It's like we hit one bump wrong and KABLOOIE. The freakin' wheels were trying to bounce off the wagon. O.o

I disabled and enabled and he crouchlimped away, I assume to his log, and everything proceeded normally. I say "assume" because I was stuck in dialogue and couldn't actually see him until he had a potion.

I tried another runthrough just to see if i could get more wacky pictures without disabling anything, and it worked perfectly, though there was a bumpy moment where I thought things might go south quickly. Have been playing the game since, the only people who died at the start were the ones who were supposed to. Man, that first go round though....

Some unintended hilarity but a broken start... the horse was randomly floating sideways, I nearly threw up the camera was spinning so fast, and apparently the spinning cart killed half the imperials, don't know where the hell Hedvar was when he was talking to me but Ulfric was caught behind a fence and just kept walking into it. When we got out of the cart there were dead bodies everywhere and a soldier floating half a bodylength above the ground, until we stoppe,d at which point he dropped like a stone. Going to try tweaking the armor mod and see how it goes. My god though. That start.... I hope the snapshots took, I'll have to beat them out of steam since I loaded through SKSE.
