Main quest bug

[DominusMalum]

Having a problem with the main quest. After giving the dragonstone to farengar irileth doesnt come running in stating a dragon has been seen near by. Ive unchecked all my mods and still nothing happens. Even loaded an old save. Made a new game with unchecked mods and still nothing. I figured a reinstall would help but not going to reinstall everything again chances are itll do the same thing. So i assume its a mod from the steam workshop, beth's new load order, or a broken script. Any ideas? Even uninstalled the game last night and reinstalled everything and still the main quest is not working. Patch 1.4.27. Btw irileth is no where to be found.

I talked about this before. The problem is you fast travelled to DragonReach. For some reason, on this quest and the original one for the Companions, you must walk through the main gate of Whiterun. I have no idea what is really happening and it certainly does not happen all the time. When it does happen, it is always related to fast travel. I have played it out even on plane jane vanilla Skyrim and it happens there too.

 

The only fix I know of and could even find any reference to at all is a previous reload from a saved game that was not corrupted. If you console the completed quest or advence the stages, it will not fix the future problem. a lot of quest are broken at the start of this issue and it keeps getting worse with more and more quests breaking. as time moves forward during your play.

Ok new game save and still irileth doesnt show up. Didnt fast travel either ran all the way to bleak falls then back to riverwood then whiterun.

[Brandy1123]

When you say you are using a new save, dos that mean you started a new game? If you did start one and used a quickstart game save did you alter the race by means of showracemenu? changing the race while in the console affects a few things. It takes away ratial bonuses and does affect other game events.

 

Try this from a new character. Goto Riverwood from Helgen. Get the request to inform the Jarl. Then report to the Jarl of whiterun- walking through the gate and continue to the Jarl. Get the stone quest and then retrieve it. Turn in the claw at Riverwood then go back to Whiterun. Walk through the gate and continue up to turn in the stone. If the "female source" is arguing about the stone with Farengar, you are in. Turn in the stone. On your left you'll see the gaurd running up to warn the Jarl. Irileth will come bounding in about 3 seconds later with her elvish demands to follow her.

I have EXACTLY the same problem, guess it's most probably a bug from one of the updates or something. Will try Brandy's suggestion however on my new character. Also, just a side note to confirm what Brandy said earlier: Use of console commands to get through the quest artificially does not work. Dragon Rising does not start after the dragonstone is handed in to Farengar and nothing happens afterwards. I even tried waiting outside Dragonreach for a while before handing in the stone, just after getting the quest to retrieve it from Farengar. I went inside and the "Female source" was standing there, no disguise, in her usual inn clothing, just standing over the desk looking over a "book" or something which was not there. Have three other characters, all of whom never ran into this problem, no matter how the stone was given in.

Help (Or a patch) would be GREATLY appreciated.

I added a console solution here a while back: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/578287-fix-for-bugged-dragon-rising-and-maybe-others

[Ebonmoon]

Still didn't work, tried multiple times across three save games and two chars, and still no luck :( Irileth just doesn't appear and neither does the scout. Being part of the Main Quest chain, one would think this would have an easier, or at least well known solution... Google turned up TWO pages related to this problem :( Help would still be highly appreciated.

Hm. Did you follow this exactly?

 

1. Go to the wizard's room

2. Open console by pressing ~

3. If you don't have a dragonstone, type 'help dragonstone' and note the bottom object ID, then 'player.additem <dragonstone id> 1'. You should get a message about receiving the item.

4. Type 'resetquest mq104' and then 'resetquest mq103'.

5. Type 'sqs mq103'. This will show all the stages of the Barrows quest, ranging from 0 to 200, with the last number 0 for each, meaning they're uncompleted.

6. You must 'complete' every stage, in order. So, start with 'setstage mq103 0'. If you type 'sqs mq103' again, it should show you that stage 0 is completed (last number is 1). It may also show stage 1 completed.

7. Go through each stage you see uncompleted in sqs, up to and including 180.

8. When you're at 180, verify that all stages show 1 in sqs. Your journal should also reflect that you're to return the stone to the wizard.

9. Give the stone to the wizard. Your quest should now advance correctly.

 

If so, what's sqs look like at steps 7. and 9.? Also note step 3., there may be multiple Dragonstones listed. I think the bottom one is the correct one (but you could try different ones in the event that makes any difference).

I think I've basically tried every variable I could think of other than resetting the whole freaking Dragonreach cell and/or using the console code to get ALL quests in Skyrim (Seriously last resort.) Went through all the stages, 0,1,5,10,15,20,50,60,80,90,100,180, all the ones after and in between. At which point I tried(reloading my previous save of course, and being at stage 180): Giving in the stone directly, waiting outside for a bit before going in to give the stone in, giving the stone in and setstage'ing the quest forward forcibly through the rest of the stages up to 200, and I even tried an entirely different save game/ character who was also at the same point. In reference to which stone I used, I had the stone already on my one profile, but on the other new one I tried both. He took the stone and the quest completed, but Irileth never ran in and the next quest never began... literally ran through the whole process of completing that quest about 15 times, with sqs showing 1's in all stages, sometimes 1's and 0's when I used shortcuts(Having the stone beforehand, not going to Bleak Falls Barrow, using Console Codes for stone, etc.). Lol got pretty frustrated and went all tgm on the guards with my lvl 2 Redguard :P Side-note: I just tried doing it without any mods and still nada, pretty sure this problem only came in with the recent patch. Know of any ways to revert to the previous patch for a test?

I got this one too a while ago....Fast Travel to Dragon Reach seemed to be the issue....
