Solstheim is broken in Anniversary Edition on Nintendo Switch
In my playthrough of Kendis, where I'm running the Anniversary Edition on my Nintendo Switch, I discovered that some parts of the content on Solstheim are actively broken: you can't get Severin Manor, and you can't run the quest involving Thirsk Mead Hall.
