Glitch and Redcliff and Denerim Gates?

Hi all,

So, I've come across this weird glitch after talking with Riordan at Redcliff. The moment I exit Riordan's room, Morrigan and Alistair magically add themselves to my party and follow me around. When I click on them it takes me to their regular cutscenes etc (*poof* they're magically back in their own rooms). There is no option to remove them from my party. So at first I just thought this was a weird, albeit harmless glitch or bug. But after the first battle by the Denerim gates (with Alistair and Morrigan still in my party (just no gettin' rid of those two rascals!) I am unable to go talk to Riordan and continue my mission even though he's standing there with the quest thingy above his head because for some bizarre reason my character wont exit battle mode.... So I'm thinking maybe the two bugs are related perhaps? I've clocked the game multiple times and never come across any bugs, although this is my first time playing on PC. I had added mods to the game but once I saw those glitches i removed them, but the bugs are still there 😕mileyfrustrated:

It's pretty frustrating as I can't progress the story from here, so any help or advice would be super appreciated! Ma serannas 🙂
