Artemis1122 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I have a problem with Jarl Siddgeir. I received a letter to speak with Jarl Siddgeir (to initiate the bandit killing quest), however, no dialogue options appear when I try talking to him. Not even the 2 default dialogue options of "Does your inexperience...." and another one that I forgot. I also noticed this issue with Solaf and Nenya. I managed to fix Solaf's issue by adding him to the merchant faction, but Siddgeir is still bugged. I also noticed that Siddgeir lost his "Jarl" title that should've shown up when you aim your cursor at him. Instead of "Jarl Siddgeir" showing up, it only reads "Siddgeir." Furthermore, Siddgeir no longer sits on his throne but typically hangs around upstairs, using the arcane enchanter. Does anyone know a fix for this? I've looked around and saw that multiple people have this issue. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9563rj Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Same issue. Google results turn up with the same MO, can't talk to Solaf, Nenya, or Siddgeir, in a modded playthrough. Earliest thread is from 2013, no solutions. No idea what mod or conflict causes this. recycleactor and resetai do not work, other threads say kill/resurrect doesn't work either. Can't find a save where they aren't broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodr1sen Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 (edited) This bug is more vanilla than anything else, generally it is because you have a quest active in your journal that is causing conflict, for example, killing a leader or some stupid random request from some NPC, try to clean your journal from some secondary quests, advance in some guild quest or advance at some point in the main one (if that were the case) and you go back to talk to the jarl each time to see if it is already activated, sometimes it also turns out to do a quest that is given to you by the stuard of that Jarl (one of those about killing the giant or some leader) and when you return you talk directly to the Jarl to let him know that you did the order, sometimes that unlocks the letter quest Another important thing is that you must have the letter in your inventory (although now I don't remember if you can take it out or it tells you that it is from a quest) if you don't have it, look for it, read it and have it in your inventory to talk to that Jarl It's pretty tedious but it's Skyrim, you live it or suffer it On 7/2/2024 at 12:32 AM, 9563rj said: Same issue.

9563rj Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 All 3 characters are broken even straight out of Helgen in a new game. I doubt it's quests. These NPCs' schedules are also broken. Siddgeir doesn't use his throne, only sits in the war room with the legate and Nenya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkkmEl Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Try going into the console (with ~) and type "sqv 4d78e". Then report on what it says (whether the quest is running, and whether the alias#0/Jarl is filled with value 19822). Just to try to get some insight into what actually fails in your case.

9563rj Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 The quest is running, stage is 0, all of the aliases say NONE. I noticed that the innkeeper has only generic dialogue also (not even renting room/buying food), which makes all of the NPCs mentioned in the aliases for this quest broken (innkeeper, steward, "merchant" (Solaf), steward, housecarl, jarl). I guess this is the problem but I have no clue how to fix it or what's breaking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9563rj Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Using ssq and forceRefIntoAlias fixes the innkeeper and steward and turns "Siddgeir" into "Jarl Siddgeir" but doesn't give the dialogue options related to buying the house plot after reading the letter.

9563rj Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) Fixed all the npcs by using ssq and forceRefIntoAlias to manually populate DialogueFalkreath aliases, then reloading the last save. All Falkreath NPC's are now fixed! Thanks for getting me started on that, I'll post here again if this broke the game in other ways. Edit: I assume I should also manually populate Dengeir as the JarlBackup and look up who his HousecarlBackup and StewardBackup should be? or is that not what these are aliases are for?

xkkmEl Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Mostly for the civil war quest, if you align with the stormcloaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
