R3dBatt Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 in doing the rhieves guild quest I have completed Chance Arrangement, Taking Care of Business, Loud And Clear, and Dampened Spirits. I would like to start the Pursuit but Brynolf, Mercer, and Karliah are all gone and have no instructions to procede oir where to go. Any ideas?

RedRavyn Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 There could be a host of different problems, here. Read the Bugs section of this wiki article, and see whether or not any of those situations might be the culprit. This is what I consider a "bottleneck" quest, since there are so many things that can go wrong, stalling or even breaking the quest (and, therefore, the entire Thieves Guild questline).

FittyStim Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) I don't think you're supposed to write spoilers in this section (even silly ones like saying who's in the Thieves Guild). Anyway, here are two suggestions that you can try if you're playing on a PC (make a backup savegame before you start doing any of the following). Open up the console (via ~ on most keyboards (§½ on mine). It's the key above the tab key). 1. Check out the stage of the quests that you believe you have completed (i.e. TG00, TG01, TG02, TG03). For example, getstage TG03. Then compare the stage with the list of quest stages available at Skyrim Wiki. Maybe you're not done. Maybe you missed a critical event. 2, Use the player.moveto command to teleport to Brynjolf (refID. 20545). If you can teleport to Brynjolf but he doesn't react with the proper dialog - then you've probably messed up a quest stage sequence somewhere along the line. There are solutions and work arounds if this is the case, but I won't list them out just yet. Edited April 19, 2012 by FittyStim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3dBatt Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Brynolf, Mercer and Karliah are not in the game. If i do a moveto on any of the three they are not where the game sends me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FittyStim Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Brynolf, Mercer and Karliah are not in the game. If i do a moveto on any of the three they are not where the game sends me. Some mods mess up quests - especially Radiant Quests. Are you using mods? How many? I've had problems with Lydia in the past. Once she never showed up. Once she just stopped following me and was removed from the game. SPOIL ALERT: I suggest checking out the progression of the first four TG quests. Start with TG03 and work backwards. See if you really have completed all of the quests. You might have to do this intuitively. Did you talk to Sabjörn, Mallus and/or Maven? All of them? Some of them? They are critical people for the middle stages of TG03. I'd start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NudeSkyrim Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 You can try the spell Clairvoyance which will guide you to the next step in the quest most times. Make it your only active quest and try it out. It doesn't always work though, If not, there's quest help at www.eldermods.com they might have the one you're looking for.

PsxMeUP Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) I had something as simple as a smelter mod mess up bot pathing, so I couldn't continue a quest. I'd suggest removing all mods and seeing if it works. If it still doesn't then you simply got one of the many game-breaker bugs. We've all had them.
