Hi there duude, I'm still following this project and excited to see the final product. Thanks for your latest updates....things look pretty sweet :)

Have already tried the above, doesn't work. I have tried with multiple characters at varying points of the story. I have always started them fresh, before innocence lost in each attempt I still run into the same problem. Have even done a clean install with playing this story arch in mind, no luck. Thanks for the responses, but there just seems to be something fundamentally broken with the quest line. There may be a mod conflict I don't know about, but I can't imagine what would cause this particular problem and I had the same problem with all mods removed, deactivated, or not installed after clean install. I need some kind of patch to make this work...I have all the latest patches for Skyrim as a whole. I've no idea what's wrong with it. It's the only glitch of this type I have ever run into.

I am having the same problem. I have tried reinstalling the game even, disabling all mods etc. Started new games, issue persists. Does anyone have a patch for this problem? None of the potential victims engage in the proper dialogue. They just act like random NPC's, saying stuff like "need something" etc. They will not engage in the interrogation dialogue menu where I can ask about their crimes. After killing one, two, or all three Astrid will not engage in her proper dialogue. She just says "brother". I cannot use the console to advance the quest. This is proper broken for some reason, I can't believe there is no patch for this problem.

I have a pretty heavily modded (156 mods, now that is) skyrim and figured out how to get dragonborn problems to stop. Firstly I removed all mods that altered interior shadows or picked the versions of them that left vanilla interiors untouched. This helped with the infamous raven rock mine problems (black screen infinite load, crash on enter etc). This helped me get into the mine but I would still crash often and often be unable to load saves from inside the mine. Even though I have the latest version of skse and it says you don't need safety load with it, I went ahead and added safety load and this gave me a 50/50 chance of loading saves in the mine. But with all that said, the big thing that seemed to fix all my problems in the dragonborn dlc was to dismiss Lydia my modded follower. I use Bjirn's Warmadien mod which is a great mod that makes some favorite female follower look truly realistic and equisitely feminine. I'm not sure if it was the fact that she was modded or not, but I also have some other mods that change follower behavior and control options and though it is not necessary to remove any of these, I highly suggest that you tackle dragonborn solo and dismiss any followers. This helped me not only with specific area crashes but also with ravenrock mine crashes and crashes/freezes in solstheim exteriors. Also, make sure if you have mods like climates of tamriel and flora overhaul that you grab the dragonborn patches. Though generally, it would seem you'd simply lose these features in solstheim I noticed I couldn't even get to solstheim until I patched these types of mod. Another thing I did was remove enhanced lights and fx and all it's patches. I like this mod very much, but the fact that it alters interior seemed to be a disaster for raven rock mine in particular. Hope this helps, though I know that by the the very nature of TES V and the large numbers of mods out there and system set-ups there's never going to be one single fix for everyone. To trouleshoot, try following this procedure. The first things I would try is to dismiss any followers you may have from Skyrim before even trying to get passage to Solstheim. If your already borught a follower into a glitchy solstheim dismissing them then and there should also resolve the issues related to followers. Just dismiss them and wait for them to amble off out of sight and you should be good to go on this end. If that doesn't solve problems on its own make sure to patch climates of tamriel and flora overhaul and the like with draognborn patches. If your trying to keep enhanced lights and fx grab its dragonborn patch as well. Still having problems, make sure you have the latest skse and that the memory patch from sheson is active. Check for skse.ini inside skyrim/data/skse. Look for these lines (if you have additonal information it might be related to another skse plugin, I don't think you need to worrry about it but make sure you have these lines). DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768 ScrapHeapSizeMB=256 [General] ClearInvalidRegistrations=1 Then you might also try putting in safety load as well, even though it says you don't need it with the latest skse, it made a difference for me. Then if you still have problems, as a last resort, dump enhanced lights and fx and all its patches. Good, luck.
