so, i married catherine the servant from the castle, we moved into 'The Old Townhouse' in bowerstone market. in my attempts to keep her happy, i have had to do several relationship quests, the most recent of which was where she asked me to redecorate the house to be worth an extra 478 or so gold, or to move to another house. so, with the quest accepted, i bought 'Hauteville Heights' through the 3D map, then took her hand and led her there, and chose the option to make it our marital home. after she went from fine to happy, i then went inside and attempted to redecorate. after a couple mishaps with the furniture, i was unhappy with what i had done and wanted to just reset it all. since there is, to my knowledge, no option for that, i quit to the dashboard, and reloaded the game. im not sure the last time it autosaved, but i figured it was fine cause i hadnt done anything that i would miss recently. however, when it finally loaded, i was still standing in front of 'Hauteville Heights', and the icon above the sign indicated that i owned it, and it was our marital home. upon interacting with the sign, i found that i actually could not interact with it. i press A, and it brings up the description (Owner:, Price (Best Offer):, House Condition: ), but no available options. no change upkeep, no divorce. cannot sell, repair (though its 100% so it shouldnt be an option atm anyways), rent out, or anything, except go back. out of curiosity, i went back to 'The Old Townhouse'. turns out it is still my marital home. just to see if it would change anything, i went and made 'House of Cards' our marital home. 'Hauteville Heights' still indicates that it is also our marital home, and still provided no options. i then attempted to access the house through the sanctuary map. i noted that the flag over the house indicates that i own it, but that it is NOT a marital home. it also would not give me any options for interacting. i then saved the game and divorced her. now, with no wives (or spouse of any kind), the sign in front of 'Hauteville Heights' still says that it is my marital home and provides no interactability (if thats a word).
also, the more i play, the more sluggish the game gets. third playthough now, and laggy sessions are growing longer. first playthrough, only noticed laggyness a few times, and was seconds, or fractions of a second. now it will sometimes last several minutes.
another odd bug. happened on the escort quest where you take the guy from bowerstone to driftwood. you know how when holding hands while going down stairs, or a somewhat steep hill, or if the person whos hand you are holding gets caught on something, your hands will seperate, and then reconnect when they catch up? well, everytime that happened, when his hand reconnected with mine, it dropped my speed down to walking. really slow walking. like when you go to aurora the first time, after leaving the crawlers cave, when walter tells you to leave him behind and if you say no, you carry him a short distance further VERY SLOWLY. thats how slow it was making me walk. i could fix it by letting go and re-grabbing his hand, but that only worked until we seperated again. and let me tell you, it happens a lot. i finally made it through the quest, and figured it was over, until i went to take a girl on a date. it was ****in me off so i saved and reloaded the game, and it hasnt happened since.
UPDATE: now my wife is missing, and our marital home is haveing the same non-funtionality of 'Hauteville Heights', except it still shows up as my marital home on the 3D map, and i can 'move family' even though all that does is change which house the problem is at. i have also noticed that the game says i have been married 3 times, though i have only married twice.
