Dark Brotherhood Bugs/Problems Patch 2.40

tinythinker

So far, just doing the first mission of the new guild and roaming around a little, I've encountered:

Bugs:
-magicka draining waaaay faster than usual on my Templar (hah, they reset champion points! )
-combat music not playing
-voices not matching (my Argonians battle cries are the wrong ones for the female voice selected)
-battle sounds are missing (abilities, clink/clank, explosions, etc)
-the chopping/mining sounds for gathering from nodes are missing
-Templar's charge still fails to launch a lot, even when on level ground and not too far from the target

Problems:
-it's too easy to accidentally have the game switch synergies between Vampire's "Feed" and the DB's "Blade of Woe" if you're tailing an NPC; you then get stuck in a different stage of vampirism for several hours and may lose access to passives helpful to an assassin

I knew ZoS was going to screw that up, it was obvious that the Blade of Woe and the Vampire Feeding would interfere with one another but then again they made it so its pointless to feed but at least you lose 30 minutes with very vampire ability used so just spam mist form 12 times to change your stage.

Yeah. All the best stuff is Stage 4. It never made sense why you would get weaker when you feed and why you would want to lose the best buffs. Only reason I can see is to take less fire damage/reduce your health recovery debuff. But especially with this patch you want Stage 4 to get/keep *all* of your passives. If there was some way to get back to Stage 4 really quick that would be great.

And the battle music just started working out of nowhere, at least for a while...
