Waking nightmare glitch (maybe only me ever)

[MightyZ0G]

Hey both, don't know if you've tried this, but I find sometimes with NPCs who are "stuck" when you need them to speak or move etc to advance a quest then you can sometimes make them work by:

 

- open console

- click NPC

- "disable"

- "enable"

 

I had a HUGE amount of trouble with Esbern on my first runthrough, when he wouldn't speak or carry out any actions when I was supposed to get him to Riverwood. In the end I probably disable/enabled him about 100 times on that journey but we got there in the end ;)

 

Dang, I had high hopes for this one.

I tried this but sadly to no avail. Thank you though for the idea.

 

If anyone is interested, I went into much further detail on this problem on another forum Here. I have already gotten some good responses, but no fix yet.

 

try "recycleactor" command on the NPC

you might have to use the "moveto player" command as well if the NPC disappears

recycleactor resets the NPC completely
