What happens is, he really likes Falmer gear, right? Every so often, in his early levels, he went into Falmer hives, cleared them out, and took everything that he can - ingredients, treasure, but especially Falmer weapons and armor. Now seeing as the former are really, really heavy for all the damage they deal, it wasn't uncommon for me to adjust my carry weight to something a little more accommodating - usually it was 1000, but places like Tolvald's Cave and Darkfall Cave were more than that. I did that so many times that, in hindsight, I'm surprised I didn't have any problems then.

But fast forward to today, and my Bosmer file now suffers the dreaded "infinite loading screen," which I have no way how to deal with it. Come to think, though, so has my Orc file of late - which is really aggravating since he's level 75, and I was looking to retire him soon.

All our games on console (XBox) with high level Dragonborns have slow loading screens, especially those that were started when Skyrim first came out, before any of the patches and DLCs. We have read speculation that the way the patches and DLC changed the game (overwriting files) is what is causing this.

The only way to test this that we can think of would be to buy the Legendary Edition, remove all the Skyrim game files now on our XBox and load the new version. Then, we would ned to start a new play-through and see what happens when the Dragonborn reaches a level in the upper 70's (something we aren't going to do anytime soon).

Perhaps someone knows more and can enlighten us.
