Bombly Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hi guys,I really need help, I have run into quite alot of game-breaking bugs involving the Dragonborn DLC. First, Adril Arano won't talk to me at the start of Served Cold, I hover my cursor on him, and nothing shows up, but the standard dialogue that NPC's say when you walk by happens, and he acts normal, but still, no conversation. Anyway, the first thing I did when I arrived on Solstheim was finish March of the Dead and then Final Descent so that I could complete Served Cold, and the wiki page says that doing Final Descent before the main quest breaks your game. Basically, that means I'm screwed, and I was wondering if there was any console commands that could either skip the bit when I talk to Adril at the start of Served Cold, or that makes it so that I haven't learnt any words of Dragon Aspect. The last (and probably least, seeing as I can't do anything until I pass this) bug is that when I read Waking Dreams in the Temple of Miraak nothing happens. It just opens like a normal book (except there's only one page) and I don't get wrapped in tentacles. Any help would really be appreciated, since 2 of the above bugs break the Dragonborn main quest, and one of them breaks the Served Cold side quest.

kevkiev Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Sorry that I can't help you with your issues, but that's the first I've heard of Final Descent pooching the main quest if done first. I've played Dragonborn twice and did FD before the main quest each time with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodinfested Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 You should be able to advance any quest by using console setstage on Served coldSetstage DLC2RR02 10 last # (10) is the quest stage it goes from 10,15,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,85,90,100,110,200start from lowest # and move higher if you still have problems you should get an journal update when its entered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombly Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Thank you both for the help, @kevkiev, it says that maybe the door inside of the Temple of Miraak will not give you a Word of Power for Dragon Aspect, and I am going to check now if it gave one to me or not. @Bloodinfested Yes! That was what I was looking for, the setstage thingy. Once again thanks both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vram1974 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Exact same thing happened to me. Using the console to advance stages doesn't help since at one point you have to actually go to the Temple of Miraak. I've actually never even seen what Miraak looks like because Dragonborn is so appallingly buggy. Good news is I just have the DLC as a bookmark so better mods work. And Dawnguard is a fantastic DLC, so it more than makes up for the fact Dragonborn is ridonkulously bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombly Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 I suppose so, but I was a big fan of Morrowind and all of its features so when Dragonborn came out I thought 'Fantastic! Stuff like Morrowind!' and so I've been sticking with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoSxorpio Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Console advancing is eventually going to break things, because there are usually precursors that need to be met. If you installed the DLC into a running playthrough, you will have issues. Best to start a new save game geared towards the new DLC content. Its generally recommended to grab the Unofficial patches for some fixes to the DLC. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombly Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 @MotoSxorpio I already had the DLC installed before I started, and I installed all of the Unofficial Patches, but, not to worry because I just messed around by moving the saves around and quitting and starting up again and finally it works. However, I still can't talk to Adril... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
