I reset both characters so that their secondarys were NOT on sneak. No help they are still crouched and move slow. Not overburdened either, according to weight numbers in the inventory. Only way to regain vitality and stamina is to either rest or take potions. Any ideas?
After you reset the skills so you didn't invoke sneak, did you remove their current sneaking? Do this: put sneaking as the secondary skill of your DK. Then, right-click when your DK is highlighted. This will turn off sneaking. Hope that helps.
