JohnDoe12 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) After finishing Festus's quest Recipe for disaster, the next quest in the chain To Kill an Empire will simply not trigger.( I haven't found any threads in the "Skyrim Technical Support" sub forum regarding this problem) I tried the following solutions after extensive search :Trying to finish all of Nazir's contracts after / before starting the chain.Trying to add the quest manually to the game via console ( setstage db09 5 , setstage DB08 200 , setstage db09 1 , setstage db08 255 didn't work , in any order or conjunction with lots of waiting time as well)Tried to run the game without any mods , SKSE or Script Dragon. Misc info : I meet the minimum requirements to run the game and have the latest driver for all of my software , game is on the latest steam update with all the mods and mods peripherals on their equivalent latest update as well.I did not skip any dialogue , Festus told me to go to Astrid.I finished all of the former quests up to and including Recipe for disaster with the bonus objectives.When I talk to Festus he will comment about the quest , saying something in the likes of " going to assassinate the emperor , how exciting" while Astrid will remain oblivious. Looking forward for any help on the matter , thanks. Addendum:Added a save I made just before turning in the quest.I will appreciate it if someone could perhaps try to turn in the quest as well and see if the quest won't trigger for him as well. (using 3rd site to upload the save since I get an error while trying to attach here [Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file]) edit: typos , added relevant save.

JohnDoe12 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) The stage of to kill an empire ( db09) remains stuck on 0 , can someone please help me get to 5? setstage db09 5 won't work. After more testing I think I nailed the problem.Going through my saves and trying to " setstage db09 5" every single one of them I found the first save that was broken in that regard. Using wyre , the only difference I could see in the save was it load order.The only difference in the load order was in WIS IV.In the working save , WIS IV.esp was last while its plugins were before it.In the bad save , it was the other way around (probably after an update). I tried to play my save without mods , and with an updated version of WIS that came out today.I can now setstage db 09 5 a new fresh save , but my main save is still bad.I can't go back , the only save that will accept setstage db 09 5 is 21 hours of gameplay behind.Is there anyway to fix it? I'm desperate. :( Edited February 21, 2012 by JohnDoe12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyestabber Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Try to update WIS to the latest version , your main save will still be broken but you will able to setstage db09 5 in a new one... I did update it, but the only save that allows me to use this command is like...REALLY old. Lvl 9 or so. You're saying that if I want to finish the DB questline I will need a new character? :( :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our only hope ( I don't think the author of WIS will even bother reading my message) is some kind of a script that will forcefully add the quest.But still , who's to say that other quests are not fudged up as well? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
