Bug: Tav Cannot Do Anything Except Walk and Talk

[ChrisAndelin]

I think it started with those stupid auto equipping clubs in the Moonrise Tower jails. During the encounter when the prisoners are running away I started hearing an unnatural spam of a sound. After the encounter I had one of those clubs equipped and when I tried to put my normal weapon back in the main hand slot it would just immediately get unequipped. I recognized that sound as the one that was being spammed. Now my tav cannot hide, cast anything or shoot anything, throw, nothing. I can aim at things but when I try to execute, nothing. I've tried lots of reboots, long rests, everything I can think of and I'm stuck. I'm on Honor Mode so going back to a previous save is not an option. I can't find much on the internet. The most similar thing was a video of someone using the chest of the mundane and the auto equip club to spam equip stuff but there's no fix. Help, please!

I had something simular after couple of mods. If you have them delete them. If that doesn't help... I have for you my terrible sorry because for me exactly loading of the previous save was a cure. :С

Honour mode the most biggest fear is not an enemy. This game itself. And I am not sure that backups is an option.

Do you play solo run or not? Did you try to murder and then resurrect?

[ChrisAndelin]

I do have lots of mods. The idea of uninstalling all of them is more work and less fun than just starting over. Maybe I'll just disable all and see?

Not solo, the opposite, in fact. No party limit. I did try killing the tav and rezzing him but it didn't fix T_T.

Anyone else with ideas would be very much appreciated. Is there some way to troubleshoot or debug what is wrong? Some report I can send with character state data or something? Is there a command I can put in script extender console?

[GerrBone]

Hmhmhm. Try to remove the mods that affect the camera. Maybe you want to play with a Dragon Age view. It was this mod that broke everything for me.

A list of the used mods would help us to be able to help you :-)
Maybe you don't need to uninstall all your mods but only some.

One additional curiosity I remembered: When I noticed the club had been auto equipped I saw my regular weapon inside the special mod bag for the Auto Loot Aura. I tried to equip the weapon from inside that bag. I'm guessing the club was auto looted off the ground and went into that mod's bag and then swapped with my weapon.

[ChrisAndelin]

Oh I wonder if it happened because my Auto Loot Aura mod looted several auto-equipping clubs at the same time and they all tried to auto equip at the same time?

[ChrisAndelin]

Here I found a link to the video that's similar to what happened to me. I didn't have the Chest of the Mundane involved, though. And instead of multi-selecting clubs and dragging to enter an inventory at the same time, mine was due to auto loot aura.

Another tidbit of info. I can only successfully equip one handed weapons without them auto-UNequipping immediately. My weapon before was the Morning Frost staff which is versatile.

So one thing I know for certain: it's one or more of your mods.

So now, begin the fun dance of disabling them one by one, starting with which seems to be the most likely culprit, until the issue goes away.

For sure, I know some of the ones on your list have got to be updated for compatibility with Patch 6/HF 19.

[ChrisAndelin]

I will try to uninstall the auto loot mod and see if that does it. Thanks for the input.

How do you know for sure it's one of the mods? Especially when the video link shows a similar behavior and we don't know if that person has mods or not. Also how do you know disabling the mod will fix the problem? What if the mod got me into a bad state and removing the mod doesn't change the state of my character?

[ChrisAndelin]

Well I was unable to successfully uninstall the Auto Loot mod. I followed the instructions about punching an item on the ground and long resting but I could not load the new save file.

I did find someone, finally, who experienced the same issue.

"Moonrise Towers hidden jail docks bug
With autloot enabled, if you go within loot range of the Dock and boat you use to escape during the course of the rescue Wulbren quest, the autoloot aura goes berserk and will cause the character with it to permanently be
unable to execute any actions like attacking, going into stealth, casting any spells, etc. Basically you can queue up an ability but it never completes.

Also screws up the conversation with Wulbren - and bypassing that does not bypass the animation bug.

Workaround appears to be to disable the autoloot aura while anywhere near the boat in the tunnels behind the tower jail cells."
