Heimskr (Talos fanatic) is not preaching anymore?

[Dukie]

Hey,

Have you guys noticed that Heimskr (Whiterun) isn't preaching anymore in the SE? :(
A bit of a shame if you ask me.

[PurSpyk!!]

He preaches in my game, but his lips dont move unless I talk to him, many npcs seem to have this issue, far too many bugs in this version

[PanicButton]

Same problem for me. OP, did you change the uGridsToLoad value by any chance?

No I didn't change anything to be honest.

However I made a second character and funnily enough he started preaching again. So I think it is most likely a bug that sometimes Heimskr is mute.

Yeah did a little reading since then. Grids can do some funky things, but this is not one of them.

According to the wiki it's a known bug, and once he goes mute, he's gonna stay that way for the whole playthrough. I assume he only preaches for your second character, if you go back to the first he's still mure...correct?

It's a shame really :( Most people find him annoying, but Whiterun is just not the same without him yelling from the top of his lungs.

Didn't find a way to fix it :(, Disabling then re-enabling him doesn't seem to help.

Nope he is still as annoying as in 2011

Yeah he is only vocal on the playthrough of the 2nd character. :(

Try killing him via the console (~) and resurrecting him. Maybe that'll rustle his jimmies enough for him to start yelling again.

Tried console commands: disable/enable, resetai, recycleactor, nothing helped. Also tried bumping into him, shouting at him, sleeping for 12-48 hours, saving and loading, traveling to the other end of the map and traveling back.

If anyone has a fix please share it :)

U could just watch a video of him yelling in the background

Haha :D Let's call that plan B for now...shall we? :)

[Kris Reddish]

He still does OP. At least does in my game. A few NPCs are now missing from cultists, vampires, or dragons atacking me in cities. I think he is killable, so that is a possiblity.

[wim1234]

kick him there where the sun never shines, ought to get him yelling

[avenger]

I'm on second character and he does not ramble. But my first character didn't make it out of helgen's introductory game phase. So seems it should be 2nd char that actually reaches whiterun. :[

Isn't that a good thing?

[Жора]

Is that unmodded vanilla game? I have Immersive Citizens mod and he preaches less more often. I thought it was all mod, because I remember in original non SE and non modded Skyrim he was preaching non stop.
