Why won't Delphine talk to me?

Sorry if this should be in spoilers, but Delphine is making me crazy.

 

First, when I followed her out of the Inn on the way to find the dragons, she just stopped in the road and wouldn't talk or move. So I left her there, figuring that she would be at the mountain top with the dragons when I got there.

 

So in the meantime, I've played for a couple of months doing walkabout things and enjoying meeting new people and making a few bucks. So today I went to the mountain top and Delphine was there along with Alduin and a freshly minted dragon.

 

She says watch. So I watch a minute. The dragon eventually attacks, we kill it and Delphine is awestruck or something just staring at the dragon. When I attempt to talk to her, she just responds, "By the Gods! Look at that!" or something similar every time I initiate dialogue. She won't leave the area. I've tried bumping her, I've started a fight with her, I've fast traveled to Windhelm and back to no avail.

 

I do not believe its mod related as I only have 8 or 10 cosmetic mods and the recommended Skyrim updates. I'm playing the Legendary edition and the first issue where she got stuck on the road happened before I added any mods.

 

The quest calls for me to talk to Delphine, but it's not happening. Any ideas or solutions would be most appreciated.

Looks like its a well known bug if you check the bug section here gives a lot of options, including advancing the quest with a console command, as a last resort they say.

Perhaps consider adding the unofficial Skyrim patch, works a charm for a whole lot of these things, I swear I've never had most of these issues keeping the patch up to date :ninja:

Thanks for the link, Mercbird.

 

I've killed the dragon several times and I do not absorb the soul. (I don't think Miraak is involved.) I've gone alone and with a companion and neither made a difference. I've tried attacking the dragon early and I've waited until it attacks first. After killing the dragon, I've left the area and returned. None of these work.

 

I have the Unofficial patch that I downloaded in Sept.

 

Unless someone has suggestions other than the above, I guess I'll have to do the dirty and use console.

 

I hate to go that route, but I'll need other ideas to avoid it.

I checked out the Steam forums for this and found basically the same thing MB reported above. A lot of folks have this, there are 6-8 suggestions about maybe fixing it, but no one ever posts back that something worked except the console option.

 

I gave in and did the following commands:

setstage MQ106 150

setstage MQ106 155

setstage MQ106 160

 

I did not have to do the other suggested commands:

setstage MQ106 200 (or)

setstage MQ201 10

 

After typing the first command above, I exited the console and tried talking to Delphine. After the first and second command, there was no change. But the thrid command prompted the dialogue options and I was able to fully converse on the Blades, dragons and Falmor. The Blade in the Dark quest completed and the next stage has been set to continue.

 

The only disappointing thing, I never got the dragon soul.

SOMEBODY OWES ME A DRAGON SOUL!!!

Sorry about that.

Is there a console command that would allow me to put a dragon soul in my inventory? If I do that, wouldn't Skyrim be fully back on the course that should have happened if the Delphine bug hadn't bit me in the butt?

This bug was pissing me off for a straight hour until I gave up and went to sleep. I tried everything, setstage mq106 150 to 160 and setstage mq106 200 and 10. I was able to end the quest with setstage mq106 200 but couldn't start the next one, nothing was working for me I kept loading my last save game and trying again but this b&@*$ wouldn't give me the next quest. So I slept on it and tried again the next day, this time I tried disabling all my mods and enabling after I've done the quest but when I tried to play the game it said the data was corrupted. Soooo I had to enable all my mods again and started from my last save game at Windhelm and made my way to Kynesgrove, girl walks up to me and says dragon is attacking, I go up there kill the dragon and FINALLY delphine lets me end the quest and start the next one.

I don't know what the hell I did to make it work, I guess it was disabling then enabling the mods? But anyway that worked for me so if someone is looking for a solution and nothing is working try that I guess.
