In Our Shadows - NPC is frozen

[inwethegreat]

Hello! This is my first real bug I’ve encountered while playing this game. I’m on the quest In Our Shadows and Tharael is leading me to the temple of the Rhalata. When we get to the hidden door, Brother Sorrow comes out and gives me his spiel. He tells me to hold still and then we get stuck. He just stands in front of me not speaking or doing anything and I am unable to move. I’ve tried to just sitting and waiting but he never fixes himself. Has anyone else encountered this? Any ideas on how to fix it or should I save the quest for later? Thanks!

hi, welcome to the forum

do you have any mods installed? if so, which ones?
deactivate, or better uninstall them, see if that helps.

did you try loading an earlier save?
(ideally from before entering the cell)

you could also try to let Steam verify your game files

if that doesn't help attach a savegame (no auto- or quicksave), please.
they're found in (...\Documents\My Games\Enderal) - we'll need the *.ess and the *.skse file.
pack both to a zip/rar/whatever archive (the forum doesn't accept *.skse)
thank you

Reloading from a previous save didn’t fix it, but disabling mods did! I didn’t even think of that because it’s mainly hair/skin/eyes, no killmoves, fast travel, and no screen blood? Either way, thank you so much!

thank you

not sure which of these mods would cause this in that case
but you should be able to disable killmoves in the launcher, in the fifth tab ("Game"?)
