When you first arrive in Morthal, you see the steward on the steps to Highmoon Hall talking to 3 people who are irritated at a wizard living in their midst.

Well, I've seen all that before with a previous character. So, I ignored it this time. Talked to a guard to start the quest about the burned house and went into into Highmoon Hall before they were all done with their event.

So, now those 3 guys simply stand outside Highmoon Hall day and night. Try to talk to any of them and you only get a "this person is busy" message. If I go into Highmoon Hall and try to talk to Aslfur the steward, I am also simply told that this person is busy.

Natually, this breaks a few things in Morthal because some of those NPCs are needed for various quests and/or events.


If it matters, I have no DLCs and the only mods I am using are NoNPCGreets and NoEyeAdaptation.

I have tried using the console to disable/enable, moveto player, resetai, recycleactor. None of it helps.

This gives me the feeling that if I can just reset that event you're supposed to see upon arriving in Morthal and let it play out this time (or simply tag it as done) then that would fix everything.
