Sledrig Stops talking to me just after finishing the bard party.

[AdventureAri]

I finished the party with Helvana, I got the parchment/codex from the right person, and went to speak with Sledrig. He was in the classroom by the teaching podium, and not in his office. I went to his office and the Argonian Teacher is having a conversation to an empty room. Creepy.
I can then talk to Sledrig, whom gives me his little spheal about how he knows who I am, and there isn't enough space to train here. He then says "hmm... I wonder..." and the dialogue closes, he wanders off. I followed him outside and he went and looked out at the coast. Spoke to him again, only to go through the whole dialogue again. Same result, except he doesn't move.

I am using this with BEES on 1.5.97, I fixed the Skyrimmisc.bsa by replacing it with the newest one. Everything else seems to work fine!

Attached is my Load order

Edit: It got worse! Now he approaches me a nd restarts the conversation every time. Would love to know if others are experiencing things like this or just me

Edit2: He no longer follows me to restart the conversation, instead he turned to face the mural on the wall, then stopped. I can talk to him but we just go through the conversation again. Fixed that with the ENB patch from the "unofficial" patches. going to move on with other things in game and come back to this another day.

Edit 3: Tried using Setstage kgcbard_mq03 5, 8, 10 and 15. Nothing. Setstage 20 gets him to start talking about the mural, but thats it, cant access it still.....

Hi there, sorry you're experiencing issues. With the size of your load order, and the fact that a downgraded version of Skyrim is being used, there is no telling what is happening. I saw that you grabbed the file needed when using BEES, but wanted to check you are playing from a save **before** you installed Bard, as noted in that post? If not, then this will cause further untold issues that become baked into the save.

If you have papyrus logging enabled (if not, here is a guide), we could take a look at your papyrus log and see if it gives us any indication of what might be going on, but otherwise unfortunately I'm not sure there is much we can assist with here.

For clarification on the quest setup here, stage 15 ought to make Sledrig walk over to the wall and say his line. After that, stage 20 is set which enables a subtle portal effect on the wall which you can activate. In a working game, that is what should happen.

Yeah, neither of those things happened. I missed that i had to go back to a save BEFORE the problem. Oh well, time to start a new character and hope that works
