Bannered Mare - Ysolda and Hulda

[ShadowXII]

So, here's the story.

 

I was hoping there'd be some kind of quest regarding Ysolsa, Hulga and the Bannered Mare. Hulga wants to sell, Ysolda wants to buy. That's not the part I'm worried about; it's easy to reach that end.

 

A few days after I married Ysolda, listening to her wistful longing to buy the Bannered Mare, Hulda tragically passed away from a combination of old age and a lethal poison to the blood while descending a flight of stairs, and my dear Ysolda moved in and set up shop.

 

And hasn't left since.

 

This is depressing, since I was enjoying the whole married-couple dynamic of seeing her derping around the market as usual upon returning at dusk from my adventures, selling her some crap, going back to her place for the night (+15 skill gain woo), and heading out in the morning. I'm not really one for role-playing but it was a nice homely dynamic,

'What I was going for with the horrible giggly murder silver-lining of Hulda's passing was Ysolda's dream coming true and her actually having a shop to make money off. What I wasn't expecting was that she'd be permanently planted behind that counter like any other innkeeper, never returning home, doing her market rounds or even giving me that sweet 100g daily coin.

 

This actually highlights a problem I have with innkeepers in general, as they never do anything but stand there. They don't eat or sleep, and just seem to be static. You could replace them with a machine and it'd have the same character effect.

 

So is there any way to reverse my actions? I've tried resurrecting Hulda but she just stands there looking dopey, and doesn't engage in dialogue. I can sell her firewood, but that's about it.

I'm sure it's a scripting fix, something about changing how Ysolda behaves. I'd like her to go back to her old routine - derping around the market by day, chilling at home by night - and if she still runs and pops into the inn in the evenings, so much the better.
