aidasasinas Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 For some reasons Dumag-gro-Bonk and Cutter(The New Sheoth blacksmiths) refuse to offer their services. No matter at what time i come they still refuse to offer services. Every time i visit Dumag he says "Now its not the time for business" and then the dialogue ends.Same with the Cutter. So can anybody tell my is this a normal thing or is it something else. This nonsense began when i started rebuilding the gatekeeper. I completed that quest but they still act the same way.

David Brasher Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 According to the CS, these two smiths will only say these lines when they are in their shops and it is morning before 8:00 AM or evening after 8:00 PM. Make sure that you are not visiting their shops at night. Otherwise your savegame may have badly bugged and be broken in this aspect. You could build a patch in the CS by going into quest SE30 topic GREETING and put nonsensical conditions on the offending dialog infos so that the conditions will never be met and the computer will process to further down the list where the vendor dialog infos you want are.

aidasasinas Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 i also noticed that other shivering isles merchants act strange too no matter what time of the day is it . when i visit any other shop the merchant runs near to me like i am trespasing but they offer services and have normal dialogue.

MichikoUnknownFox Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Do you have mods that alter events in the SI? Did you go to the SI the normal way, or did you cheat or use a mod to go there? One more thing I'd try if I were you: I'd go out of town for a bit and wait (as in the command). I'd wait at least a few hours, to see if their schedules would reset properly when you're not inside the town. Not sure if that'd do anything but it's worth a try, and has fixed a few similar bugs for me in Tamriel (I broke into a shop and stayed until the shop actually opened, so the shopkeeper came up to me like I'm a trespasser but offered me services anyway). Might work for you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telyn Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Try disabling the mods you added most recently. See if that fixes it. Also try loading an old save and see if it is affecting the old save also. Some mods do strange things you didn't expect them to do, like changing how bounties work when the mod just adds a house. I've been really surprised sometimes when I've tried mods that sound like they would only do one thing, and it turns out they change birthsigns, the economy, or all sorts of random things as well without warning you. Most of the time those are accidental changes. The modder made changes to his or her own game and forgot to edit those out before uploading. Once I added a mod that was supposed to just place some animals. It also caused authorities in the IC to hunt down and kill a named NPC and guards and legion members started battling each other in the streets. It was exciting, but not really what I was expecting.

aidasasinas Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) i disabled all mods except official plug-ins and shivering isles. i am still a trespasser in all shops. oh yes and other saves are messed up as well. so what now??? is there any way to fix this nonsense. im thinking about installing the unofficial oblivion patch. do you think it will solve this problem???

Balakirev Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Go to some inner cell. Save the game, exit to the desktop, then reload. Have your character wait for 48 hours. This should give ample time for any resets to occur. Then see if the problems persist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
