jibajabroar Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I am one of those users who have suffered in the past due to a quest in a quest line not starting. Thus, I decided to put that character on the backburner and play other things until the CK came out, at which point I'd use Papyrus to force the quest to start. Let me give you a bit of background on my character's situation. I completed the College of Winterhold quest "Containment" (MG05), and received the Torc for Labyrinthian from Mirabelle. However, after this happened, the quest "The Staff of Magnus" (MG07) never began. I didn't realize this until all of my autosaves had been used up and I no longer had a backup before this became an issue. At this point, I could not continue the College of Winterhold quest line. I can verify that MG07.Start() was called, because MG07.IsRunning() returns true and because the quest stage 200 fragment for MG05 calls MG07.Start(). However, the quest started.. But hasn't done anything. As I said, when I call MG07.IsRunning(), it returns true, so apparently the quest is running and just hasn't initialized (which is really bizarre). I have tried MG07.Stop() followed by MG07.Start() and MG07.Reset(), and neither seem to do anything. I have also tried MG07.SetStage(0) and MG07.SetStage(10), but neither actually do anything; I've checked following those calls and GetStage() still returns 0. So, my question becomes the following:Can you restart a quest using the CK, or is it completely impossible within current functionality? I know radiant quests seem to run multiple times, so perhaps I can imitate the functionality I need and force a second instance of MG07 to run? I'm unsure, and help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jibajabroar Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) I would indeed have done that had this character not been Level 53, completed the TG, completed the DB, nearly completed the CoW, completed the main quest, completed every Daedric quest, and explored/cleared every single location in the game. I think it has 200 hours put into it. That I am posing this question to the general population suggests that starting a new save is, well, not an option. Thanks for the sentiment, though.

sherbetsu Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Have you tried opening the entry door at Labyrinthian? You have the Torc, it should open - then run the dungeon normally and loot the staff - it might kick off the quest again at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jibajabroar Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 I tried opening the door in Labyrinthian, but the Torc isn't what does it. When MG07 runs its initialization papyrus fragment, it 'unlocks' the messagebox attached to the door. Because that never happened, the entrance to Labyrinthian still says "You lack the required item" despite that the torc is in my inventory.
