Hey all, I've run into a bit of an issue. For a while now, my preferred method for downloading mods has been to select "manual download", open the files in 7zip and then drag them into the "Data" folder. Sudden for some inexplicable reason I am unable to extract and drag the files to where I want them, not even to my desktop or anything. Every time I try my cursor turns into the circle and slash, indicating that I can't drag the file. Now, I know that this is not a problem with the mods themselves because I tested it with a few others for both Skyrim and Fallout 4 and have the same issue. Other files can be clicked on a dragged around normally between windows and the desktop, so it has to be 7zip. I just can't figure out why it decided not to extract anymore. If anyone here can help me out here, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

The bit of research I did seems to point the finger at the Man Who Cried Wolf quest somehow triggering NPC deaths in Solitude. Part of me wonders if that's on purpose? Potema's revenge or something? I didn't find anything that can confirm that though. It isn't super game-breaking I guess, just weird. I go for immersion, and people can kick the bucket randomly in real life too. I guess what vexes me is that I can't tell if it's a bug or something purposefully scripted.

No, no vampires or dragons. I went to Solitude right after I left Helgen and havn't done any main quests. I did see a lone Volkihar vampire running by Wolfskull Cave after I cleaned it out. Ran right by me and didn't try to kill me which I thought was weird, but whatever. Figured that was a just a random wilderness encounter.

Hey all, I recently was in Solitude when I noticed that Beirand the blacksmith had apparently dropped dead. His family (Sayma, Kayd) talked about him being dead and other NPCs brought it up too. I thought it was weird so I did a bit of a search online about. There is some speculation about it being a glitch that's related to joining the Imperial Legion and/or the quest The Man Who Cried Wolf (both of which I completed just prior to discovering Beirand's tragic yet mysterious passing). I run a good number of mods (Immersive Citizens, USSEP, JK's Skyrim, almost everything Arthmoor, etc.) and I'm curious if it may be mod-related or if it happens on vanilla games as well. Who else has ran across this weirdness? Did Beirand just have bad cholesterol or is this a real glitch of some kind that can be patched? Cheers! :smile:

Druegh and vampires are pretty freaky, as well as those deformed corpus beasts...ick.
