TL;DR: Started experiencing issues early in the Companions quest line, prompting me to try and replicate the problem both on new saves and with ALL mods disabled. The problem persisted. Went to try and begin a new game, and found I couldn't even do that. CTD while using Skyrim Unbound, game frozen on Imperial Dragon screen after selecting new game without any mods or DLC. I have used LOOT, Wrye Bash, TES5Edit, etc. to try and fix the problem, but to no avail.
Hi everyone, I'm having quite a confusing dilemma with my game.
It started fairly early on into a save on a fairly fresh install
