Solitude Thane dilemma


Wolfmod

Recommended Posts

<p>I cleared out the Potema worshipers.  I returned the horn to the Talos statue.  I cleared the catacombs and collected Potema's skull.  I saved the "burning of Olaf" festival.  I bought a house.  I decorated the house and still I can't get the option to say, "What else can I do, my Jarl" and I am not offered the quest to help 5 Solitude citizens for the Thane title.   I don't have a "rare Gift Quest" but I did kill the Erandur in the Waking Nightmare quest in Dawnstar to get the Daedric skull.  Could that have interferred with my ability to get this questline or am I missing something?  Anyone? </p>

Unfortunately Mighty Zog, this doesn't help. I can use setstage to move me through a quest but not to initiate it. I have the house and so one would think that "favor252 10" had been completed. If I had "help the citizens of Solitude 0/5" then "setstage favor252 20" would work. Unfortunately, I don't have that so I cannot finish something I don't have. I read somewhere that certain actions can make you a foe regardless of the polite and friendly dialogue. Can someone confirm this to give me some idea of how far back in my saves I have to go or to give me a means to change it?

Oh Boy, it worked but didn't solve the problem at all. "setstage favorjarlsmakefriends 30" gave me the quest and completed it since I had spent so much time helping out the people of Solitude... But the Jarl still didn't give me any options or acknowledgement of the quest's completion. What a pain! And I went back two game days of play and got to the same point and still no options to become thane. I could start a fresh game and find myself in exactly the same position. It is more than annoying.

I solved it by going back to a save where I had only done three of the tasks. By helping two more citizens I was able to get the 5/5 and the Jarl made me Thane. Strange actually because while I had the 'help citizens 5/5' by telling her I had helped the citizens as requested she gave me the quest to help the citizens. I then spoke with her again telling her again that I had helped her citizens and she made me Thane. Thanks Zog.

my problem is kind of the same as above however where it differs is it gave me the "help the people 5/5" I did that and says for me to go talk to the Jarl so i go talk to her and nothing for completing the quest at all only the normal 3 options.... the set favor commands do nothing for me at all. I did pick the horn back up because im greedy and wanted to display it.

 

So i started a new game and beat feet to solitude left the horn this time and still having the same problem.

 

I am playing Special Edition BTW

 

Ok Fixed it this is how I did it:

 

I looked and my mod list and saw one mod that effects the Thanes (I KNOW RIGHT who would have thought). Apparently "Thane Fail-Safe SSE.7z" breaks Solitude SOOOOOO here is the fix for that (not mod but its simple-ish)

  1. Save the game
  2. Exit the game
  3. Disable this mod
  4. Go back in game
  5. Complete the quest
  6. Save the game and exit
  7. Re-enable the mod
  8. Enjoy!
