I started using Hoarfrost Castle and yesterday i got the quest to find a mage apprentice for the castle, and i have to say that so far i really like Hoarfrost Castle.

But there is a weird problem with the Steward Ignatius. After the Castle was rebuild and when i came back there was a brigand/marauder who just came charging in on my character and Ignatius. That Brigand/Marauder was quickly dealt with but i accidentally hit Ignatius ones during that fight. I got the usual warning "Hey i am on your side" and after the fight i could talk to Ignatius as if nothing hat happened, and i can still talk to him whenever i want or need.

BUT...for some reason he keeps walking around with his dagger drawn, and at times he collapses on the floor which i think comes from MMM. How can he still look like he is in combat while he is not? If he would be in combat mode i should not be able to talk to him correct? I tried clicking on him while in the console and then typing stopcombat, but that did not solve it.

No one has any idea how to solve what Ignatius is doing, as i described in the above post?

I'm far from an expert on Oblivion and don't use MMM, but since nobody else has responded, I have a few ideas. The first is, if he thinks he is still in combat, check all the adjacent rooms and levels to make sure there is not some enemy nearby that is somehow stuck. Second, try healing and curing him of all ill effects, via scrolls or spells. Third, use the console to a ) toggle his AI off and then back on, or if that doesn't work, b ) disable and then re-enable him. Good luck!

I will give those a try, thanks DreamKing.
