jangofett890 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Today I started a new Skyrim character. Everything went fine till I got to the mage in whiterun, The jarl did not say anything to him but he had the dialogue for the quest to be activated. I did the quest dialogue and I never got a new quest from him, So I went to bleak falls barrow anyways did the quest, at the end of the chamber the word wall would not activate and the sound would only play for it. It turns out this happens for other players with other walls, I was unable to find a fix, so I had to manually add the shout through the console then nocliped into the coffin to get the guy out. I then returned to him and Delphine was there not saying anything, I was able to give the stone to the mage. I then went to go talk to the jarl, and the general was not there so I cannot proceed in the story line. So I just left then I went to a different word wall area and that one wouldnt activate at all with no sound or anything. There are also random explosions when I walk into new areas. Any idea if a mod causes this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangofett890 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 How come No one even looks at word walls threads? I've searched everywhere and can find nothing to fix this, nor any of the mods tell me if this is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsharaMeradin Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Well, I'm looking at the thread.... But I have no idea. Have never had a problem with word walls. But then I never used any of those mods aside from testing out the RaceMenu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jisc Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm having the same issues. I thought perhaps the word walls bugged (95% of them won't work, just a static sound when near them) because I installed the alternate start mod where it puts you up to the progress having your first shout the moment you start, without looking at a wall or slaying a dragon. I disabled the mod but nearly all the walls are still broken. I came across 1 wall that worked and I was amazed (I think it was the wall you come across at the start of the dawnguard dlc when you save the vampire daughter. Anyway, I'm thinking of restarting (which sucks, done the quests a few times now, just breaks the fun and immersion) but this time I'll do it with limited gameplay mods (no alternate start). I haven't spoken to the graybeards yet, so I'm going to try that before trying a word wall again, but from what I've read this is a problem present in vanilla w/o mods. Using all the unofficial fixes, completely up the date using the legendary edition from steam. It's annoying this is such a sporadic issue that's hard to identify any damn cause; now a good chuck on the content (shouts) is out for me because of a bug... sweet.
