"Confront me" dialogue completely bugged

[Biblost]

I started a new game and I first discovered this situation when I attacked a guard and he didn't do anything, but when I started conversation myself he arrested me. At first I thought it was just the guards who were bugged, but then it happened in multiple siuations:

 

• The evil mage in the Skingrad reccomadtion quest doesn't confront me
  
• The evil mage in the leyawiin reccomedation doesn't approach me
  
• The paranoia guy in Skingrad doesn't confront me
  
• etc. etc.
  

 

I disabled all mods, and the problem remained. My conclusion is that the "Confront me"-dialogue (however it is called in the construction set) no longer works. Does anyone know how to solve this? Or is this because I made a very ugly character?

 

Thanks in advance,

Bib-lost

Its more likely to be because your speech timing is screwy, methinks. This can be caused by a couple of mods, most infamously the Cheydinhal Petshop (shame... because otherwise its a pretty cool little mod). Thing is, deactivating these mods will not fix the problem. Half the time, unless you've installed them all with either BAIN or OMOD, deactivating mods won't fix ANY of the numerous problems mods can cause, because the files are still in your data folder.

If this has only come to light recently, start uninstalling mods, one at a time, from the last mod you installed. (when I say uninstalling, I mean removing it completely - meshes/textures/esps, the works) and cross your fingers.

I know there's a workaround for the specific issue caused by the pet shop mod I mentioned, but I'm afraid I don't know that workaround, or where to find it. Sorry matey.

I hadn't played Oblivion for a very long time when I started again yesterday with a new game. I never experienced this problem before, and I didn't install any mods when I started the new game yesterday. I wouldn't know what'd cause this problem. And I don't want to uninstall all of my mods, that'd be a shame!

I'll look for a solution somewhere on the forums or the mod database.

 

And by the way, I DID install all of my mods with OMOD.

I discovered even more AI packages that seem to be missing. The 'Escort Package' doesn't seem to work either. For example:

• In the first Fighter's Guild quest 'A Rat Problem', Pinarus Inventius doesn't go hunting
  
• In another Fighter's Guild quest where you have to protect a Deadric Scholar, she doesn't start moving.
  

 

What messed up my Oblivion so bad?

Just out of curiosity, are you using Reneers Guard Overhaul?

 

For that matter, a load order list might help, if not me, someone else to spot the problem.

And get and run the lastest version of BOSS (Better Oblivion Sorting Software) just to be on the safe side. Its on the nexus file servers. Remember to get the latest Masterlist.

This is outragous! I just discovered the game CTD's when I get into the water. Just great! What did this to my game?

You're using quite a few mods I don't know there, so hopefully if its a known issue more than a mod conflict, someone else will spot it. One thing I would suggest is loose KT's custom race fix and get the UOP (Unofficial Oblivion Patch) it includes the fix for custom races (thats why you can loose it) and a whole heckuva lot more fixes too. See where you stand once you've got that and we'll go from there.

Yes, BOSS told me it could be replaced with the Unofficial Oblivion Patch. But I'm afraid it will cause so many conflicts. And it's a big file for my limited brandwhich. I'll download it this night.

Ok.. UOP doesn't cause anything it fixes it xd - if UOP doesn't work, delete your oblivion.esm (ONLY that) and reinstall the game - if your computer works like mine all you old saves/mods will still be in place while you've just got yourself a brandnew esm with no bugs, then test your mods one by one to see what was causing this... Sorry if this takes you to long, but it's the only way I know, probably some other program messed up your game
