Thanks, I'll try god mode and see if that works. Will I have to keep it on for the rest of the game? I don't think I want that. Or just long enough to travel? Will saving and then undoing god mode fix fast travel for the future? FWIW, I've only done your typical fast travels: from one exterior location to a 'discovered' map marker. On the vanilla start game I've been instructed to meet Malborn in Solitude, but I haven't gone there yet. It is Skyrim, so it could be glitched, of course. That shouldn't affect the alternate start game (game 2). I didn't know Diplomatic Immunity could mess with fast travel. If that's the case, then I better get that over with. #Skyrim zaz animation pack 8.0 mod mods.
