alt + f4 and hope your last autosave isn't that far away ?

are we running a vanilla game ?
( i've had it hung on the "dynamic wolf follower mod", so i figured it was in the mod as a problem.... but if a stock npc can have it happen :) )

also remember to back up your saves when done playing
i've seen that fo3...... never trust bethesda savesystems again :p

If you use quick save a lot, another thing that helps is occasionally as you make a main save is to delete the quick save so that your quick save game doesn't have little bits of all your skyrim travels.

This sort of thing can happen if you start conversations while doing something else
To get out of conversation Shift +tab to steam overlay then go back to see if that helps
If not open console and type enableplayercontrols enter
close console and use your normal exiting method ... tab or Esc
Save Save Save This is how to get somewhere after you have moved on and your saves are piling up ,stop and delete all saves and then save your new save thrice.

i think we have a theme going here :p

never hesitate to save !!
seriously any of the fallouts currently out AND skyrim are going to have a bigger data-amount in savefiles then the respective game is ( since we should avoid overwriting as mush as possible )

by the end its going to be gigs of savedata. Resserve some space on that harddrive :)

open console
click on sven
type in
pushactoraway player 1

if you clicked on sven properly, it should ragdoll you and force you out of the convo

if that doesn't work, try

enableplayercontrols

or

coc whiterun

if none of these work then idk

Or, press that tab button, like the actual tab icon on the screen. That should work, usually happens when i press shift tab during a conversation.

THANK YOU, mouse clicking tab saved me frustration from reloading.

btw pro tip i bind my quicksave/load to numpads. so much easier to savescum / try out things(pickpocket *wink*).

Open console, click on the NPC you're stuck in conversation with, then type resetAI.

This happens when you shift tab to the overlay. What worked for me is just pressing shift once then tab worked again.

What worked for me is select the NCP use 'disable' then use 'enable' again
