What just happened in Solitude.

[StatiSky]

Ok So currently level 36 and I havn't started the main quest yet so the Dragons are not flying around and I'm curious what just happened.

 

I make my way to Solitude to hire a follower too sacrifice in the Daedric Quest. Now on my way to the doors I see every npc from everywhere run towards solitude argonians, khagit, and nords everything run inside the city.

 

Now I'm in Solitude and these npcs all run inside the Tavern. I have the When Vampires Attack mod installed so they won't pointleslly die but there were no vampires.

So in Solitude the execution scene is absent no one is gathered and no one is being killed. The next there I see is the guards draw their weapons and say "take position" and then the ground shakes and I hear something like someone use Voice Of the Emperor three times and then nothing they all go back about their buisness. I go to the Tavern and it's jam packed full of people and all like 15 of them are just standing at the entrance making it impossible to move through.

 

So wtf just happened. I also checked outside of Solitude when they ran and after and there was nothing anywhere.

Skyrim Sorcery :psyduck:

 

when scripts run wild and spread confusion and fear

 

try a previous save or one of the script cleaners on the Skyrim Nexus

Someone mentioned something similar on either "when vampires attack" or "run for your lives" mod discussion forum. They claimed there was a bug with the scripts during the solitude execution scene.

 

I can't personally confirm it as I'm way past the scene, and it was like long long time ago.

 

EDIT: Solution: I would say uninstall the scripts, re-do the scene, then re-install the mod (same version).

Apparently this bug happens for any scripted event. I went to Markath at night and Vampires attacked a random point in the city of course not starting the Forsworn quest.

The voice of the emperor sound was actually because I had installed a extra power mod giving enemies stronger skills.

I never noticed because these vampires for some reaosn keep attacking in random spots of the city the guards just don't care, 4 master vampires just spawn nowhere near the gate off fighting one unkillable npc.

 

I need to make sure I go to those two cities during the day for the scenes. Although I think the execution scene is no hope since my only save thats not quick or auto is 5 hours behind it and my auto is after I entered the city.

 

Thanks for the anwsers.

Try uninstalling the mod, then load your auto save. Everyone should come out now, and see if the execution scene continues. If not, re-enter the area, and then check again. The scripts are pretty clean, shouldn't bloat your save or give you any CTDs. You may use Save game script cleaner or Savegame script scalpel to clean the savegame if you'd like.

Little known bug with Skyrim ARE the autosave options, don't use them and save yourself grief. Go look up the issue and the autosaves, ALL of them, just opt out of ANY. Saved game Script Cleaner is easier to use, by far easier. Follow the description.

 

However, it is funny all of the NPC's running to make sure they are first in line to get Meade! :laugh:

i think it also has to do with a problem that happens if you use alternate starts

normally if you run the game on vanilla, hadvar eventually offers you to join the legions which kicks off the misc quest to join the legions. later if you talk to a passing by stormcloak they will give you the misc quest to join them.

the trick is with the legion one. getting that quest is the condition you must fulfill first to get the execution script running, and hence all other scenes in solitude (because otherwise beirund will be stuck to saying he wants to see the execution)

i found this out the hard way after extensive googling, trying all the fixes, and having none work

so now when i start a new game, since i have immersive patrols, i will talk to at least 5 imperial soldiers just to be sure
