scarffj Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I have an issue where I cannot talk to NPC's. I thought it was mod related but I don't think it is. I have a save I can load with all mods active to where there are no issues and can go thru load doors and not have this issue arise, however if I save and load the save I get the issue in the new save. Also if I load the save that works from a save that does not work it wont work and I cannot talk to NPC's but will work if I restart skyrim and load the one that works first. and although I cant talk to npc's I can open doors, pickpocket and talk to meeko the vanilla dog (after a blank dialog "camera change" her dialog pops up), I have deleted/disabled all mods that could cause the issue and still have this issue. Have also deleted the game dir and made a fresh reinstall, checked integrity w steam and just about everything it seems PLEASE help!! This is my arrow to the knee, heal meeeee I sent a ticket in to bethesda but I have no faith in them so I am also posting here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algabar Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 It's hard to give a definitive answer without a load order. So this is more or less just guessing. I think this might be an issue with hotkeys. Either it's a mod that uses the key you assigend for "interact / talk" for something else. Or it's an external program like e.g. "auto hotkeys" or some overlay interfering with Skyrim. You know your setup best. I'd recommend investigating in this direction.

anjenthedog Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Saves that open but fail pragmatically (loss of crticial features), are generally what I consider to be throwaway saves. That is, if I repeatedly open a save only to find I have black screen, or my character is t-posed, or I can't talk to NPCs, etc, but if I load one, two three saves before and everything is fine, then I consider that save broken beyond repair. It saves time in the long run, Sometimes saves just get corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarffj Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 my issue is that even if I open ANY save that works and save then reload or just reload the same save without saving it, it comes up I cant talk to NPC's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjenthedog Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 If you have this problem consistently (I didn't get that idea from your original post) then you have a problem beyond what I outlined. I was suggesting loading a much older save to see if that will work. If it does, then load the next save closer to where it started happening, until you find the last one that will load, and then use that one. If it really is a persistent issue across the board (all saves result in the same behavior), then you'll probably have to start uninstalling mods (In reverse order of installation) until you are able to remove the offending mod that is causing such an issue.
