Main quest broken

[natit12345]

I have played for 50 hours or so now, and have finished most of the side quests (guildmaster, archmage, harbinger etc) and finally decided it was time to get involved in the stormcloak rebellion.

 

I joined the legion and returned the the helmet to General Tullius. I was then asked to deliver a message to the Jarl of Whiterun, and when i did he told me to help him "kill the dragon" before he would continue. I don't have this option, but i did have the option of going to bleak falls barrow (one of the first quests you normally do) and finished this and returned. When i returned Delphine and Farrengar was having a discussion and when i stepped closer it seemed the bleak falls barrow quest ended correctly (it is no longer in my log and i lost the tablet). This is when the problems start. The jarl still demands i kill the dragon, which hasn't arrived yet, and Irileth is missing (The only other lines of inquiry with him is the general "Where do you stand on the war" etc, the only ones with farengath is also the regular lead to nothing ones, delphine does not say a thing, the steward just gives me random quests to kill bandits).

 

This is the pc version, any suggestions on what i can do to fix it (console commands are fine).

I have treid resetquest MQ103 and moving it to 190 (got the completed message again then). I then waited for 48 hours nothing happened,

I then tried resetquest mq104 and setstage 5 10 and 13 nothing hpapened.

I tried moveTo 1A67F (irleth) and it just teleported me to the jarls chair (no irileth there) i then tried placeatme and created an irileth but she didn't give me the quest either.

 

 

Any suggestsions? Is there a way i can give myself the next quest via console?

Well I don't have an answer, Just an exact same thing happened to me...Except I literally went from Helgen-->Riverwood-->Whiterun-->Bleak Falls and back to Whiterun...I believe it was caused by one (or more) of the mods i'm running...including SKSE, Skyrim Community Uncapper, Glowing Ore, Dovahkiin Hideout and Retreat, CBBE, Nude Males, and a Lydia Mod (hot blonde), and an immortal horse mod...The one I suspect is Lydia because as I understand it...Lydia is "generated" during the "Dragon Sighting / Rising"...I ended up disabling all my mods and "Re-install Skyrim" option before it allowed me to continue main quest...I might be wrong...just throwing it out there...I also set timescale to 3...anything sound farmiliar??

I was reading other posts under "tech support" and came across one called "Dragon Rising Wont Start"...The poster listed all his mods and the only one we had in common was "Dovahkiin Hideout"...other posters suggested it might have been "DH"...he replied that after he disabled it, he was able to continue noirmally...So maybe changes made to breezehome is the issue......"Dragon Rising" has had several topics, and everyone I've read indentifies "Dovahkiin Hideout" as the culprit, several said a simple disable, a load prior to finishing "Bleak Falls" is fix action....

I don't believe the mods are the issue here. I got mods myself but none of yours and with my character the MQ line stops as well. A cornered rat won't start at all.

 

Have you guys tried the fresh install yet? btw is it possible to keep the save if you reinstall the game and this works concerning the bug?

Odd that you should mention it...actually, I deleted all things skyrim just last night, including saves and all my mods and manager and steam and have been downloading fresh from scratch...but I was able to to get "Rising" to start before by disabling my mods and a "quick" re-install last week, before I started a new game, with them all enabled again...exact same thing happened again yesterday...delivered the stone and nothing

I found the solution. ^^

 

You got to find the correct console commands for setstage to start the mission after the one that doesn't work for you. It worked splended with me. However I am sorry to say that I have no idea where to find those commands. On an other forum a guy gave me the command for the mission I was looking for. ( alduins wall)

 

I hope this helps you closer to fixing the problem. Try googling for skyrim console commands. The first part is setstage but the rest i dont know.

Ok, maybe you're correct...i just downloaded all the same mods including "hideout"...i pulled my most recent save from recycle bin... i tried to deliver the stone...and nothing...without deactivating anything i fast travel to riverwood...i set time scale to 20 and fast traveled back delivered the stone and dragon rising began normally

I do not have the hideout mod, i had the skyui, sexy riften, sexy windhelm, killable children and quality world map mods. Disabelling them does not seem to help (though the error has already happened i suppose?)

 

I don't have an earlier save,

 

I have tried resetquest mq103 then setstage mq103 190. It then says the quest is completed but i can not get the next quest.

 

I tried resetquest mq104, setsetage mq104 5, 10 and 13 with no effect.

 

I tried resetquest mq103 then setstage 80, adding the dragonstone with console and talking to farenath, no options exist for ending the quest at this point.

 

 

 

Is there a way i can just skip the quest and start the next one and add my dragon shout with console?

Here is one possible answer

As I've said, I was having the same problem, I fixed it several times...once with a re-install...once by disabling all my mods...once by just fast traveling away and fast traveling back (mods left on)...and none of the fixes seem to be repeatable..."dovahkiin hideout" might have an effect, but I passed it with it active...I had my timescale set to 3, reset it to default 20...that fixed it once...botttom line...none of the "fix actions" seemed work twice...so i don't know...some have suggested that the "NPC" scout may have died in a "freak Mammoth attack"
