At first our protagonist didn't have a destiny. Now he doesn't have an animation either.

Using the scepter charge attack and some weapon changing, you can get the main character enter the classic T-pose. My most recent way of doing this glitch: have a scepter as both a primary and secondary weapon. Roll and hold down attack button to buffer the scepter charge attack to occur after the roll. During the roll go to menu and switch both weapons to something else. You'll see the character start running without his feet moving. This goes on for a while, and eventually he stops entirely. Now switch either weapon back to scepter, and the character will do a half-hearted scepter charge attack before settling in the cozy T-pose.

The T-pose is persistent, and carries over a save and reload. You can't really do anything much in T-pose, can't attack, move or really break free out in any way... other than talking to NPCs, which ends the glitch, but if you started the glitch away from any NPCs, tough luck as your file is now ruined.

You can quick travel and get into a fight while in t-pose. Your character doesn't react to enemy attacks. You can accumulate enough damage to die, but you are unable to die either - the screen just goes dark and your health is shown to be 0. If you quick travel again now, you also turn invisible. You can "revive" yourself by guzzling down a health drink - this makes the screen brighter again, but nothing else happens. You're still technically dead, probably, since enemies are still disinterested in you. Finally... trying to use an Ansilla doll softlocks the game for some reason.

There are still a few things that might be interesting to try in this state. Like killing yourself with an unstable potion in front of an NPC while in T-pose, then talking to the NPC to end the glitch. Could you be able to go adventuring with 0 health? Could other collateral glitches occur from all this?

EDIT: some new info already.

It seems that after death, some things work out differently enough in the game world that you might not be able to escape the T-pose. For example, cooldown timers never expire. If you drink a health regen potion, it will keep regenerating your health infinitely (but you also can't ever drink another potion since the potion's cooldown never expires either). You also can't talk to NPCs, sadly.
