So, I've been playing skyrim for, like, 2 days MAXIMUM, and I was really enjoying it. Today, however I discovered that asking merchants what they had for sale is now impossible because they will reply with the basic "Take a look!", "Trinkets, odds and ends, that sort of thing." or "The finest weapons and armor" and then, WHAM, my game crashes. If anyone could help me fix this, i'd appreciate the hell out of you.

Using any mods?

Do you have any game saves before the issue happened?
