Dark Brotherhood "Bound Until Death" Quest Save Game Bloat Exp

[njits]

So I'm trying to do the DB quest Bound Until Death, the one where you have to kill the bride in Solitude. But for some reason completing this quest, or just going near the quest target (the little place with the guests and chairs etc), has a terrible consequence. It bloats my save game to enormous sizes, my save game is 20,7 MB, not great but not that bad either. Then, when I kill the bride, run out of Solitude, save the game and check my save game size in the documents folder it's gotten to an enormous seize of 140 mb. Going from 20mb to 140mb with just 2 save games apart is a serious problem. As a result it has slowed my game down a lot, everything responds super slow and overall the game runs s*** now. Making a hard save takes about 6 to 7 seconds compared to 1 to 2 seconds before, that also counts for quicksaving.

 

Obviously something around the quest area is screwing up my game somehow, every save I load BEFORE entering the little chapel area in Solitude where the guests and the bride walk around runs fine. Of course those save games are still at my old 20mb size.

 

Now what's causing this? This is a pretty big problem because I can't play with a 140 mb save file, something is blowing it's size up but I don't know what! :confused:

 

 

EDIT: I think I solved the problem, the little balcony that has Firiniel's End has appeared to be the problem. Whenever I enter that little place my save game seems to just explode.

wow, 8 years later and Bugthesda still hasnt fixed this issue, as I have the exact same problem. I first thought it was a mod that did it, so deletd the mod and replayed from an older save, only to find that it was this quest that did it to me too.
