Merutan Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Hi guys. I hope you can help me out here, or actually I believe that solutions might be somewhere there but I haven't found the correct ones. SO please point me to the right direction. I have 3 issues with Skyrim. First is so called "bolt stuck in my hand" when I load the game and character happened to have a crossbow+bolts equiped. I googled a lot on this one and many people seem to have this issue and suggest quite a lot of solutions like drop bolts and pick up, place in container and get them back, open racemenu and change sex and so on. I did all of that, but that "stuck" bolt keeps returning. I take that it might be not solvable without a mod... any ideas? This happens since the very 1st time I recieve a crossbow. Second is a Courier Nord in hearhfire. I only own one heathfire home at this moment - Windstad Manor. When I just bought the land and got there, I've met a Courier there. Don't quite remember what message he delivered, but the problem is, now he stays near my house and never goes away. How to get rid of him? I gogled on this too. People had this issue with other house and suggested the following: - Wait, Courier always stays for some time in a place where he gives you a message - does not works for me, its already more than 5 times of that time when he vanishes. - Go to some city and "moveto player" him with a console - not working for me, he keeps walking back and eventually arrives back to my house. - Make him not essential, kill him, drag the body away, revive him - not working. he keeps walking back Any suggestions? I don't want to remove him permanently, I want to make him go whre he came from! :D I even tried to chace him away by turning into a (very hungry) Vampire Lord... That bastard still comes back! Third issue is an old one and is present since the first Skyrim release. Basically when I am sneaking with a dagger behind someone, kill him in one shot and "slit throat" killmove plays - player's dagger actually slits target's scalp instead of a throat ^^ I am using VioLens as a kilmove mod, but it does not solves this issue. However I believe like year ago I saw a mod that was fixing this. Anyway, any tips? My character is a default height Breton, haven't used something like race menu on him ever so I'm positive that's not a side effect of something else. ---- I expect that I'll have to use some mods for all of the above, but if there is a way to fix it without a mod, I'll be great of course.

What I believe is happening is that when the crossbow has been drawn the bolt is animated into the crossbow, but when you reload the save the animation sequences of the NIF file have been reset and so the bolt appears at the hand instead of in the crossbow. Any action that would redraw the character should resolve the issue after it appears. Easiest is to equip a different weapon and then re-equip the crossbow. I do not know anything about your other issues. Sorry.
Deleted1308005User Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Mmm.. Can you take a screenshot of the slitting animation? It could have been race height issue, but as you aren't using mods for that it shouldn't be about it.

I do not know anything about your other issues. Sorry.I see. Of course this is not a game-breaking issue, just like the other two. I just thought that since apparentlly I'm not the only one who is annoyed by this. maybe there are some fixes. But I am surprized that this slipped past Beth's quality assurance... Mmm.. Can you take a screenshot of the slitting animation? It could have been race height issue, but as you aren't using mods for that it shouldn't be about it.I should have mentioned that I am talking about 1st person view. If i'll force 3rd person view (through killcam mod option) then this most likely won't be an issue anymore, but still.Making screenshot is quite tricky, but generally - something like this Breton has an average height, I expect this animation look perfect with them... btw this dude I am attacking here is a nord.Not only it is far from the actual neck, it barely touches the head (unless you use something longer than a dagger...)

RealAntithesis Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Re: the stuck crossbow bolt issue, does sheathing the hands and redrawing them work (press 'r' twice)? I came across this problem for my mod (AH Hotkeys) and added an option to sheathe hands when unequipping - just for crossbows.

It would need to be tested tho as I can't say with any certainty without testing it myself.
