H3xx Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Several of the quests in my Skyrim installation are bugged, and many are impossible to complete. The first time I noticed was during the opening sequence, after entering the keep, The two enemies in the potion room (the room where it gives you the objective to search the barrel for potions) do not spawn. Your companion (I've tried both) simply goes to stand by the door, and never tells you to search the barrels. He doesn't move from that spot until you reach the exit. The next bug is in Bleak Falls Barrow. The Dragonstone doesn't appear. At all. Making the entire story arch impossible. The other quest lines have similar bugs. I do use several mods, and I have tried deactivating them all, but It doesn't solve the problem. Neither does validating the game files through steam. I really want to do more than wander aimlessly through Skyrim, so any advice you have is welcome. Edited February 4, 2012 by H3xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirknimrac Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Ive had the same problem, since the update. Alvor didnt have the golden claw on him, and i was unable to use any of the id codes associated with it, to give it to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumoon Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 The console command "ShowQuestTargets" (without the speechmarks) will give you the QuestID numbers for active quests. Then use "Player.sqs QuestID" (without the speechmarks and put the actual quest ID reference where it says QuestID) to show which stages are complete. Use the stage number in the console command "SetStage QuestID StageNumber" and it will complete that particular quest stage so you can continue. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirknimrac Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks rumoon. I actually Re installed the game, and mods, and so far it seems to be working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked in, demonstrated my shout for master Angier, and then another bug. The rest of the grey beards ignored us. they wouldn't come to do the initiation. I tried the setstage thing again, it worked, but I refuse to go through the game skipping all of the quests. I think I'll try a clean reinstall since it seemed to work for sirknimrac. Thanks for your help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosisab Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) H3xx, that should positively not happen, I have created three new characters since the last patch without any issue at this point (still they aren't too much advanced yet so to test the quests ahead). This and things related to items are almost certainly due to objects having their ids changed someway, some things are specific for Skyrim which did not exist before, like the keywords and this may be causes of mistakes when renaming items or someway changing objects properties. Even "innocents" replacements or making something playable should not be discarded as potential issues source at this point. Until CK is out and the game structure becomes better understood, such mods can create more headaches than are supposed to.

daventry Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I dont know what is going on anymore since the New Patches, i was at Level 65 and decided to Reload an Early Save to Level 20 with a Warning that things got removed in witch i dident care, then i realized Early Quests i Finished arent in my Journal nomore like the Red Eagle Quest, theres Nothing about it in my Journal and when i read the Book, the Quest doesent Duplicate itself again (witch is a good thing) Does this mean i have to Re-start the Game for an 8th time, how many times is this gonna go on Before the Quests and Bugs are Fixed. The CK comes Tomorrow and we will hear the First News on the DLC, but the Game is Messed Up as Hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
