reorourke Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I sent this problem to Bethesda, they said that they can't help me with gameplay problems, which I find strange since it appears to be a bug from all I can find on the subject so far. The problem is that I currently have no quests for the Graybeards, I have finished the Throat of the World quest, and its showing as completed, but my next task has not been presented to me. I have tried speaking with Arngeir, he's expecting me to go up steps I can't get past (the weather at the gate sweeps me away from there). I found out that I'm supposed to use the Clear Skies shout to clear the pathway, which Arngeir is supposed to give me, but for some reason he hasn't presented me with the new shout yet. I can't find any additional information on if there's something else I'm supposed to do in order to get the Clear Skies shout, but if Arngeir is just supposed to go ahead and teach me it after the Throat of the World quest, something appears to be broken here. I have played several other quests between finishing Throat of the World and now trying to progress, way too much to try to find some old saved game to load, I really don't want to start all over again.

vertex23 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Did you go through all the dialogue options with What's-his-beard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reorourke Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Did you go through all the dialogue options with What's-his-beard? Yes, I spoke with Arngeir. There was one question there I could ask him: "When can I meet your leader, Paarthurnax?" His response, "As I said, you will know you are ready when your voice can open the path to him." The thing is though he doesn't teach me the Clear Skies shout after that, nor does he tell me that I'm not ready (he actually offers no new tasks for me to perform for the Greybeards). So, if for some reason that I don't have it because he doesn't think I'm ready he doesn't bother to explain what needs to be done in order to prepare me for the task, i.e., what needs to be done in order for me to be ready? This is why I'm thinking that he's already supposed to have taught me the new shout but for some reason (bug?) hasn't done so yet. Thoughts?

vertex23 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) I don't know, haven't had that happen to me... :x Says there's a bug that sometimes Beardman won't give you the option to learn the shout - so I guess you just got the short end. Not sure if it's a file or game dependent bug. If you can't find a way, here's the console commands: player.addshout 0003cd34 That should give you the shout player.teachword 3CD31player.teachword 3CD32player.teachword 3CD33 That will teach you the three words of the shout (So you don't have to waste Dragon Souls (which you don't when the quest works) Edited December 11, 2011 by vertex23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reorourke Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks for the work around, it did work in getting me the shout so I could access the mountain path. Made it all the way to the top, killing a number of wraiths on my way up, only to find no dragon up there. I'm now wondering where Paarthurnax is, and why my whole quest line with the Greybeards doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Is there some sort of prerequisite needed in order to trigger the encounter with their illustrious leader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some sort of prerequisite needed in order to trigger the encounter with their illustrious leader? I was having this problem also, but I realized it's not a glitch--you have to finish the quests for Delphine (the lady you got the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller from) before the Throat of the World quest will happen.

maywin26 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Reorourke have you been able to move past this? I had the exact same issues that your were having. The last person that added to this discussion stated that you had to complete the Delphine storyline, which I have. I was at the Sky Haven temple and was told to go speak to Angeir. He wouldn't talk to me no matter what I tried. I tried everything that I could find online, but after two days of not being able to progress I used the console command to learn the Clear Sky shout. I made it to the top and just like you Paarthurnax doesn't show. I am stuck with Speak to Paarthurnax on my quest list and it is very frustrating.

Erufailon83 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 So there is no "fix" in this bug? I spoke to Arngeir and he learned me the Clear Sky Shout and I made to the top of the mountain but there was no Paarthurnax there!!!!! I used the console command player.placeatme 0003c57c 1 and Paarthurnax showed up but the storyline is stuck where he says that "proper introduction between the 2 Dovs before we do anything else". I'm really disappointed because I don't want to start over from the start. It's frustrating...:( :( :( :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
