Update - after all said and done nothing has worked even full installation. Something is very screwy with Serana I can't figure it out.

Thanks Blitzen I'll give that a shot see if waiting helps. Gor-

Reinstalled the game - Unofficial patches, graphic patches, everything ran beautifully all the way up to releasing her from the crypt and yet AGAIN she wonders off with the option in her dialogue "Come with me," but doesn't actually come with me. Just wanders off from the crypt and in the dialogue acts as though she is in my group, but is not following. So I cannot lead her to Volkhar castle to finish the Bloodline quest? Please assist, this is preventing me from moving forward with the DLC. Is there a way to force her to be in your group? Override it? Please let me know, just need her to follow me for the quest to work. Thanks!

I tried playing a new start - same situation as above. Any assistance would be most helpful, can't get through quest otherwise. :(

I've tried to revert back to previously saved marks and still same results. The strange part is my first play through on this there was no issue with this? Now there is on the second play through? Please, preventing me from continuing on?

Bump please still can't figure this out - I've found this thread talking recently about the same issue- however I didn't find the fix this person found, doesn't anyone have any suggestions? "Quest Doesn't Start So, after rescuing Serana from the crypt, she tries to walk out the front gate, which is now closed, and never asks me to take her home. She talks about home a little, but doesn't actually ask me to escort her back. Requests to "Come with me" she acknowledges, and then goes and does whatever she wants. Ultimately, she winds up at Windpeak Inn and stays there, no matter what. getstage DLC1VQ02 returns 6. Anybody have any ideas, cuz I'm stumped! – Robin Hood (talk) 09:28, 17 February 2013 (GMT) After some tracing, the source of the problem appears to have been a DLC1_QF_DLC1VQ01COPY0000_01002F65.pex file in my Data\Scripts folder. Removing that, Bloodline starts as normal, but why it was there in the first place is a mystery to me. (So tomorrow, I get to play through Dunhollow Crypt for the fourth time in a row...oh yay.) – Robin Hood (talk) 09:52, 17 February 2013 (GMT)"

Hi there, Second play through as vampire - first time I did not encounter this issue, load a new character get here and I encounter the issue. Quest: Bloodline -After freeing Serana from here crypt the option in the dialogue immediately after is "Come with me" even though she's suppose to already come with? I've gone through so many options to fix this everything from forcing the quest to start to reinstalling, to trying different save points. Just need Serana to follow me after I release her so I can complete Bloodline. Please help! Gor-

I too am having this issue - but only in the new areas I sailed back to Skyrim and could mine/smelt effectively? Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks!

WOW!!!! I have posted twice with this bug, thank you so much for digging up the cause and assisting!!! Got to love the mod community! Just amazing! Greatly appreciated!!!

Hi all, I am trying to complete the, "Gardener of Men," quest that requires me to use the black book - go through (Did successfully) then take the book back to Skall village and have Storn read from the book so I can get the 3rd word of power from Damaeus Mora. Where the problem starts is Storn, takes the book from me, walks down the path in Skall, then just stands there and doesn't activate the book to finish the quest!!!! Please let me know what I can try or do to enable him to read from the book so the quest finishes!!!??? Thanks!!

Please! Any help is greatly appreciated, I can't finish the main quest without him reading the Black Book!! He just doesn't seem to initiate the process of opening it and completing the quest!!!!! Thanks!!!

Hi all, I'm trying to learn the 3rd word of power from the, "Gardener of Men," quest. After reading from the black book and completing that portion successfully I returned to Skall Village to give the book to Storn, he takes it walks down the path goes through his dialogue with his daughter and then just stands there and doesn't read from the book to summon Damaeus Mora??? Anyone know what could bypass this to get him to open the book and read from it? It said in the dialogue that he took the book, which he did from my possession he just isn't activating it to read to finish the quest? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as its stopping me from completing the quest!!! Thanks!! Gor-
