Re: GAME BREAKING BUG IN THE WINTER PALACE

Normally problems like this are most reliably reset by fast travelling away from, then back to, the zone they're occuring in, but that's not possible on a quest-limited zone like this one.

I'll give this a 1:3 chance of working ... see if you have a recent autosave with the same datestamp as your current save, and if so delete it and reload your current save. Failing that, go back one save within the same questline and see if that resolves things. If all else fails, go back enough saves in order to restart the quest, and get in the habit of using a rotating list of saves after every 30-60 mins.

Bioware games are always buggy, so I always use the rotating save scheme to protect my gameplay as best I can.

I never overwrite saves. I may end up a game with 40-100 saves on hand, but I will not overwrite, because that is a great way to get corrupted data. It is better to use a clean save everytime you save, and if you need room for more saves, then delete the early ones you don't want.
When I delete my saves out, I usually leave the first save I can make with a character, and then I will keep at least 10 and usually 20 saves back from my current point, unless there are some special places I want to keep. It will save you a boat load of trouble to get into the habit of not overwriting...I promise.
