Yeargdribble Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'm having a problem with quests not progressing correctly. I'm not certain if this is related to any mods or not, but considering the fact that I can never find anyone who is sharing my particular problems I think something may be corrupted in my current game. At first it started off not so badly. It's been especially bad during the Dark Brotherhood quest line. Details about my problem and spoilers are ahead for DB. Dark Brotherhood Spoilers-After finishing a quest with Gabriella, I did not receive my reward or have the quest marked completed so that I could go back to Astrid. This quest actually "finished' about 15 minutes later after I'd started working on another quest line. I was just wondering around Winterhold and suddenly it said he quest was finished and my inventory received rewards. -When trying to enter the Dawnstar Sanctuary to go after Cicero the passphrase didn't come up as an option. Checking sqs revealed that the game didn't think I read the journal despite it being a pre-req for several other steps before this one. I had to use setstage to move forward. -After finishing a quest with Festus, I got no rewards at all and had to give them to myself via console. -While attempting a the big assassination, my cooking assistant proceeded to the door... stopped, then turned around and left. All doors were locked and required keys. I could not force the quest ahead even with setstage. I had to no-clip through the door and do the assassination manually. -When returning to the Dark Brootherhood and finding a raid there, I cannot make progress. Astrid is calm, all actors and scenes are frozen in place. I cannot help Nazir despite his pleading because there are no other characters in the room. Many of the NPCs are there twice. There are two Arnbjorns... one as a werewolf and one as human. Veeraza is both dead and alive. Using setstage I could press forward until I embraced the Night Mother. The screen goes dark and the game will not progress despite noise in the background. Using set stage to move forward again leaves me trapped in her coffin unable to do anything. Opening or closing it does nothing. The screen is black. I can hear actors talking and actually hit them, but can see nothing. End DB spoilers It's not DB alone though. While doing the quest where you return the Lexicon to a Dwemer ruin, many times the actors (apparitions from the past expedition) would simply freeze and not play out their scene. Shooting around them would make them respond with normal "watch it" and such, but they were not solid. I couldn't touch, shoot, or pickpocket them. When trying to talk it would say they were busy. I had to use set stage to get them to move to their next location where they would also stand stationary. At the end the enemies they were supposed to be fighting in the vision stayed around and my followers wouldn't stop attacking them though they couldn't be damaged or killed with the console. I can't be certain this is all mod related or what mods it might be. I use quite a few and will avoid listing them here now unless someone really wants them. Perhaps there are mods that are known to have these effects or other issues that might cause this. One mod I did end up removing due to much bugginess was Dovahkiin Hideout. As much as I liked it, it was buggy and giving me trouble with other mods. I would get CTDs with other mods I tried to install, namely Deus Mons, until Dovahkiin Hideout was removed. While I would love to keep my current save (probably 30+ hours), and would really like to finish the DB quest line, I'm more than happy to start a new game if need be. My question and concern is about the potentially for this problem to persist. Is this an issue of ongoing save corruption or will a new game fix it? I apologize for the broadness of the question, but any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
