Quirkyblonde Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Okay, so I'm doing the side quest Discerning the Transmundane, with that crazy guy Septimus Signus. I've gotten to the point where I've collected all the blood and given it to him and he's unlocked the giant dwarf cube and run inside. I follow him and he says, "it's just a book!" and theeeeeeeeeeen nothing. He just stands there! I can't talk to him because it says he's busy. I can't pick up the book. I've tried leaving and returning. I've tried exiting the game and restarting it. I've tried waiting. So what's up here? Do I have a random glitch? There's a choice you make midway through the quest and chose to not join Hermaeus Mora, does that make a difference? Someone please unstuck me! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteed1985 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Can you read teh book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirkyblonde Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 No, I cannot do anything with the book. I activate it and nothing happens. I'm playing on the PC, is there a console command I can use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteed1985 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 when you mouse over the book does the E appear like it should be useable but ya just can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirkyblonde Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 yep. I solved the problem though. I just killed the crazy dude and picked up the book. Easy as pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted2039153User Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Got this happening to me too. I heard it might have something to do with not having the Elder Scroll in your inventory (I gave mine to the College for their collection), but I don't know that for sure. Was hoping to not have to kill the guy, is there any other option that will let you finish the quest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy97 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Same thing happened to me. Some explosion is supposed to happen, and kill him. If it doesn't you just have to kill him yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
