My main quest is broken

I'm at the Ratway trying to talk to Esbern but his voice recordings aren't playing so I have no idea what he was saying. I guessed and got it so the quest journal said that I convinced him to let me in, but he never opens the door! I waited 5 minutes and assumed something was broken. I used TCL to go through the door and try to talk to him, but he ignores me.

 

Is there some sort of console command I can use to advance the quest line to a point where I am heading back to Delphine cause he said he would come?

What fixed it for me for was extracting "Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa" file in the data folder

 

Fallout 3 Archive Utility works,

Fallout Mod Manager works, (the BSA Browser tool)

 

 

You had this issue too? Thank you for the advice. I'll try it out. +1

Mmhm, it also fixes his dialog,

Problems I had, and others: he had no sound and wouldn't open the door.

 

Searched google quite a while and found that simply extracting the bsa file gives him his voice back and lets him open the door (was hung on a voice file I guess)

not sure if this is the right place or not but here goes...i've completed alduin's wall quest, but my journal doesn't update to throat of the world quest. i initially thought i was missing some requirements. so i started finding words of power and killing dragons and i even did a few blades' side quests. nothing happened. no updates. nothing. so i continued doing what i was doing, then got an update in the miscellaneous quest section where it says "return to esbern". so i did and the only topic i've got with him is "what does it mean to be dragonborn?" i'm really stumped here. any help would be appreciated. and if it matters or not, delphine has returned to the sleeping giant inn in riverwood, after she said she wouldn't be back, and esbern has returned to his hideaway in the rataway in riften. all the blades i've recruited are in skyborn temple as well.

@deadxpixels...yeah i took them both to the wall, following the quest journals and stuff. we proceed through the ruins, get to the wall, the quest is then completed. delphine says to go see the greybeards to learn the special shout, but when i get there arngeir doesn't have any new dialog options. in the journal, the quest "the throat of the world" isn't even there. there are no updates. alduin's wall is marked as completed. it's as if the game decides to end the main quest there for me. not cool.

Hope you have a previous save :S

 

i've got a few saves with different characters. haven't tried them all yet. loaded a couple differnt previous save with the one that wouldn't advance, it seems that the whole character is bugged. none of them will advance the quest. not a super huge deal now cuz i've got plenty on my plate. hopefully with the creation kit coming out soon i can get in there and get quest id's. thanks for your help anyway DeadxPixels, it's appreciated.
