Bug in Bleak Falls Temple - Pillars don't work

[Lurchicus]

Hi all,

After having no issues whatsoever with SSE, my toon made it into Bleak Falls Barrow and got to the puzzle where you set the three pillars (Bleak Falls Temple) so you can safely open the gate. No matter what I try, including letting myself get shot by the arrow trap, when you move to a pillar and press "E", nothing happens (any pillar). If you click on it... you attack the pillar. Mildly fun considering, but it doesn't get you further into the barrow.

I'm running a new character, no mods (and no cheats... not yet anyway).

Any ideas?

Thank you

After you have given up on trying to fix it, just walk through the wall :D Open console command by pressing 1 it's on the left side of your 1 buttone on your keyboard and type TCL then enter. and walk throught the door. Then after you walk through the wall open the console command and type it again to turn it off.

Well, I was hoping to avoid the console codes, but nothing else seems to work. The only thing I haven't tried so far is a reboot. If that doesn't help then "~" it is. :)

THank you!

Thats the one. In the original version, you clicked on them with the mouse. Now it requests an "E". Clicking with the mouse attacks the pillars.

You never clicked on them to spin them, atleast I never did. I always used E.
