Dungeon quest not starting - Cant force to start it with cmds

[ManuKen]

Hey there, eventho I'm playing SkyrimVR with the ultimate mod list from wabbajack, I thought I might just ask here for some possible solutions.

 

Couple of months ago I came across a dungeon called 'Ansilvund' which apparently should start a dungeon quest when you reach a certain part of the dungeon.

Anyway.. It doesn't start at all. It should trigger the quest named 'A Love Beyond Death', which gives you the task to kill Lu'ah Al-Skaven .

 

I reached the end of the dungeon, I remember the ghosts spawning and all, but there was no dialog of Lu'ah Al-Skaven. She's not even aggressive.

If you attack her and holster your weapons, she's back to friendly.

 

Today I came across said dungeon again, a quest lead me there.

Same over again. Lu'ah Al-Skaven is still there, friendly, even came a couple meters running towards me.

I reset the interiors of the dungeon, hoping it would reset everything.. but nope. She's still friendly.

I tried it with console commands to force start the quest.. setstage dunAnsilvundQST 1 or 6 (according to uesp) - still nothing.

Tried 'startquest dunAnsilvundQST' nothing.

 

I watched some videos to get an idea of how and when the quest starts, but my dungeon doesn't act like the ones in the videos.

She's supposed to talk to you when you reach a room with a big fireplace in the middle of it - but she never did to me.

 

Seems like a script is damaged or missing or whatever?

Is there a way to completely restart the dungeon with it's scripts etc?

Or should I just let it be?

 

TL;DR: Can't start the dungeon quest in 'Ansilvund' named 'A Love Beyond Death'. Enemy is friendly. Console Cmds like 'setstage' or 'startquest' not working.

给任何找到这里的人：如果你安装了interesting npcs，且触发了笨蛋布拉夫（一个在裂谷城附近的幽灵，自称来自松加德）的任务，他就在距离ansilvnd不远的一个山洞附近，完成他的任务，ansilvund就能正常进行了。

给没装interesting npcs的人：这个bug可能是由于其他任务占用了旁白语音导致的，建议加载以前的存档，然后传送到ansilvnd尝试触发任务，以此判断是什么任务导致了bug的产生，然后完成这个任务，再尝试去ansilvnd触发任务。

Quite a Necro...   that said,  the quest in question is started via Story Manager (SM) event.    And it is supposed to start when player enters Ansilvund.   A thing about quests that start via an SM event - you CANNOT start them in any other manner.   Not via a console command, not  via a script.   

The reason why a quest will not start when SM node conditions are met (i.e. when player enters Ansilvund) is if quest fails to fill all of its non-optional aliases.   And this quest has a TON of aliases.   If there is a mod that messes with things in Ansilvund, potentially changing some mobs required by the quest.   Of particular interest is OP's comment that it should trigger a quest named "A Love Beyond Death".   The vanilla Ansilvund quest is a 'Misc' one, you just get the objective to kill the Lu'ah character and that's it.    So if OP is instead expecting a "Love Beyond Death" quest, that sort of indicates that some mod is changing that quest, and the problem is most likely tied to that mod.

I believe I read somewhere that SM quests can eventually "shake loose."  If they don't initially trigger, completing other related quests and interacting with related NPCs, leaving the area so the cell can reset, or reloading a save can all have an effect on the conditions firing.  I read that if you have a ton of incomplete quests in your journal, that clearing some of them can shake things loose as well.  Specifically you can focus on quests in the same hold or for the same questgivers, etc.
