Profaner Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Well, I've finally gotten around to doing the main quest with my rogue-type girl. I got to the point where Baurus, the NPC who was helping to "protect" the emperor at the beginning of the game, is supposed to lead you into the sewers to retrieve the 4th volume of the Mythic Dawn books. I got half way down into the sewers with him and he just froze in place. He'd talk to you, but all his animations were broken (no moving mouth, no walking ...etc.) His heal spells were also sort of hovering around him, not doing anything. I began a previous save game from before I finished that quest to try and reload him and instead of getting half way down the sewers, he wouldn't even leave the pub. Also, for some odd reason his health is really low. Here's what I have done to try and fix the problem: 1. Loaded previous save from before I began the quest with him. He was still broken.2. Tried to push him through the sewers using sneak and bows and arrows (Now that's dedication.)3. Used console commands to disable and then enable4. Used anim. mods to try and literally "reset animation." This is all I can think of to fix the problem, and I just now figured out how to work the command console because I have Vista and it simply wasn't working. So basically, what I want to know is if there is any way for me to reset him completely, or if this is perhaps a known issue. Any suggestions would be welcome.

chromedome52 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I had the same problem, in my case I found that it was connected to having Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul mod active. When I deactivated the esp he functioned just fine. If you don't have OOO, I'd be very interested to see what other solutions are out there.

Profaner Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 I downloaded and installed OOO, but I almost never have any of it active. I just personally prefer the game without it most of the time. So, I don't see how it could be interfering with the game in any way. I have done more to try and fix the issue: 5. Removed all mods and ran the game clean (also naked, incidentally) 6. I made an entirely new character and ran it through at level 1 to the point in the main quest where you have to follow him into the basement and kill the Mythic Dawn assassin, and Baurus just stood there and would not even go into the basement, which of course meant that the Mythic Dawn assassin just sat there reading for a few minutes. Again, his health was very low for no reason at all. The next thing I am going to do is use the console to advance the quest, however, I was hoping to avoid such measures. So, again, alternative suggestions are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulReaver911 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I'm aware that this topic is old, but I came across it through a search, so I wish to give an answer to this question. Baurus was all messed up in "Path of Dawn" at stage 20, where you're supposed to meet him at Luther Broad's tavern. Most times he would get through the dialouge while sitting on the stool, but every time after he went into the basement and the other guy followed, he would just freeze, and then he was broken, and the other guy never attacked him. 1: So what I did was pulled up the console 2: selected Baurus's reference by clicking on him with the cursor 3: then typed disableplaceatme 00023F2A After that, close the console and attack the baddie. Now Baurus is back in action. I haven't gone much further with this quest yet, but I don't expect this to happen again, though I very much want to know what mod must be causing this. Also, here's hoping this is a rare occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
