Deleted2282112User Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 In the quest DIplomatic Immunity, i talk to delphine after slaying dragon, and at her shack, then she says goto solitude and talk to malborne (no quest marker pops up, even when highlighted in quest log) and there's NO marker at all anywhere, and 'Malborne' isn't existant. I've tried going to him via loads of console commands, the ONLY way i can 'see' him is by player.placeatme 00085300 and it's some half naked elf guy, with no dialogue/interactions. I've done this quest previously on a previous playthrough, it worked then but not now, i've got a fair few mods instaled but it shouldnt be affecting QUESTLINES.. any ideas? Game is essentially BROKEN unless i can do this quest, as it's the main storyline.. :| Any help much appreciated!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jy02521671 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 setstage MQ201 250should let you skip to the next quest, if you need the stone of behrune in thalmor embassy, just bring your big gun and break in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneguy090 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I have the same problem. It's as though I had 'disabled' him through the console, except I haven't. I just tried using the setstage command but it doesn't even work for me. I still really want to finish this quest, would appreciate if someone helped.

RedRavyn Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Try resetting the quest ("resetquest MQ201") to get things back at the very beginning. Then set the quest stage to "10" ("setstage MQ201 10"), which is where you are informed to travel to Solitude to meet Malborn. This will at least skip the interim details of meeting with Delphine in Riverwood. If that doesn't work, then go to where you're supposed to meet Malborn (The Winking Skeever, if my memory serves me), and use "prid 33F46", followed by "moveto player", to see if you can bring him to you. If that doesn't work then he's probably dead. He's supposed to be flagged essential up to "Diplomatic Immunity", at which point he becomes non-essential. I don't know if the game just warps him to Solitude, or if he has to walk there, though. If the latter, he could obviously be accosted along the way, which would be bad game design, but we've seen similar situations in previous ES games. There's no reason to believe that such oversights aren't persisting in Skyrim. If he appears to be dead, then "prid 33F46", followed by "enable", followed by "resurrect" should get him back. There may still be bugs, though, and I don't have a clue how to address that issue, because the game will still think he's "dead", and there's no way, to my knowledge, to unflag a "dead" character so the game thinks he's alive, again. This should affect only dialog about the NPC, and not affect the NPC's AI, so the quest should be continuable from that point. If none of that works, then I'm stymied.

xlcr Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) hi HydroDioxide/oneguy090, fyi, someone on the discussion page at UESP here:http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_talk:Diplomatic_Immunity mentioned if you return the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller to the Greybeards immediately after retrieving it from Delphine (i.e. not following her to the secret room)solves issues with Malborn/Winking Skeever. hope this helps!

SiMoFo Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 unfortunately none of the above works.... I can spawn him but his only dialogue options are to sell him some buds from my cannabis mod (haha) tried the earlier saves but no lucktried re-install, no luck always stuck at the same point - straight after talking to delphine in the basement of the sleeping giant, the quest marker for meeting malborn at the winking skeever doesn't appear...

C0SMIC0 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Hey man if you can't talk to him then just don't! Go to the thalamor embassy break in by using console code tcl go and turn right from where the wizard stands there will be a wall ,you will not able to jump across it as there is an invisible barrier so type your way in ! Again use tcl code and go into the thalamor embassy Elewen' solar and steal the book from the chest and when you will do that automatically the quest will start and malborn and two guards will appear kill them and escape with malborn :) and don't forget to turn of tcl every time after you use it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
