it's not about performance...
the scripts that can't be load because base type not match or whatever, that mean the object that is supposed to do something, won't do it
a firefly that is supposed to land on a barrel, it doesn't matter, but a quest npc you are supposed to kill that isn't bring there by the game, it's a problem
the because script no longer contain that property, it's nothing 99% of the time, but it can be conflicts too
you install an update, some scripts were edited, esp was edited, but the save want the old script, this can be troubles
errors in the scripts, it can be nothing like the length one above, script try to do stuff on stuff that doesn't exist
or it can be those problems so many have with miraak, because of mods like perkus (miraak have stuff to do at health 75% 50% 25% if i remember right, you can't drop him from 80% to 45% in one hit, there are other things you can't do with that script)
if you get stuck while doing one of the quests that can't find its alias, you will the id of the problem in the log
the ones that get stuck during the civil war, that's because they had a stack dump while doing it, with requiem you can end with negative resistance or weapon damage
didn't put auto storage scripts in enderal yet because of scripts like the one of that housing quest that have onitemremoved (a few of them when the auto storage script take care of hundred of items, it's a dump)
if i clean the log, that's to not have to open it everytime i quit the game and search "dump"
they are too much troubles to be allowed
another thing that can be troubles
when i was looking for a machine with calia, i saw the boss, rush to him, fell for his trap, and got stuck between rocks
that was a ctd some seconds later i walk to that trap after loading the save
save before waking up a draugr, wake him up, reload the save, and try to wake up him (game don't reload what's in the ram)
you can break a lot of stuff by dying after the wrong thing because of that (i could have get stuck later if i didn't ctd and would have to restart from earlier save, i got lucky)
and you can put whatever you want from that in their esm if you feel like it

that still use their string, but :
the quests the miningorescript want are in the esp
the dialog that have the same id as a land are not taken care of
it's missing the english translations i took from a nexus mod
and some other stuff
