*This means that even if I'm completely hidden from their view, including in a completely different room, and my back is turned, if I'm within a certain range they will auto-detect me and tell me to come show my face because they don't recognize me. It actually makes sneaking passed them more difficult than if I wasn't wearing the disguise. Genius, Bethesda.
>There are no weapons anywhere. The only weapon I found was a woodcutters Axe that does 10 damage. Even sneak attacking a lv 20 soldier for 3x damage while I'm lv 39 with this thing does around... 1/70th of the soldier's health.
>If I can't get a better weapon I'm screwed. Doesn't help that this is a warhammer focused character.
>I also can't sneak passed since there is one guard who does not move at all and is literally leaning against the door I need to enter. This is supposed to be a stealth mission, yet Bethesda decided to make it impossible to actually stealth completely...
ARGHHH!!
That coupled with the random crash-on-save is really really bothering me.

>Loads save and ends up... at the start of the dungeon clipped into a table. That's not even close to where I saved. Now I have to noclip through the impassable door back to where I was. I just start from the beginning again and sneak-kill soldiers. I get them all, this is great!

>It doesn't kill him, despite working on every other soldier. This one just reacts like a scared civilian and runs away, alerting all the other soldiers, and he doesn't even lose 1/4 of his health. What?!
>Die. Reload.
>My companion dog suddenly shows up at the front of the dungeon despite having told him to wait. Now they detect him and detect me. Brilliant.
>Load save from way earlier and re-run the dungeon.
>Oh wait suddenly all enemies detect me instantly when I'm in range despite not having the robes on, meaning I go straight from hidden to hostile, even when in the shadows. Brilliant. The detection AI is completely broken now. Yay.
>OH HOORAY, NOW EVERY SAVE I LOAD IS SPAWNING ME CLIPPING INTO THAT TABLE OR EVEN WORSE, IN THE FLOOR. Even the manual saves I made, not the Autosave-Manager ones! This quest is literally breaking my savegame. BRILLIANT.
