Miridia Refuses To Talk To Me

[Tyler799]

EDIT: Solved. If you're wondering, here's what it boils down to: If you set your characters level, any level-checking quest activators will fail, including the one at Miridia's shrine. My character was level 19. Requiem sets that quest to level 20. I set my level to 20, and it didn't work. I eventually found this out later. Hope that helps you if you're encountering this! (Skyrim's vanilla level for Miridia is 12-13, IIRC)

 

 

 

You can start the quest "The Break of Dawn" not only by finding the Beacon, but also by just walking up the steps to the shrine. (You can see this yourself on the UESP wiki)

 

However, this does not work for me.

 

As a matter of fact, I cannot even set the stage of the quest.

 

If I do:

 

setstage DA09 50

 

and then do getstage, it still shows up as 0, and my journal does not update. I cannot force the quest to progress.

 

I'm going to narrow this down for you as much as I possibly can:

• It does not work, even if I set my level to 50 (so level requirements are not a concern)
• It does not work even if I wait 7 in-game days in an inn first before arriving (so I don't think it's a timing issue)
• It does not work even with no mods (excluding USSEP)
• It does not work even with no mods (including USSEP)
• It does not work on a brand-new character
• I have already re-verified by steam files, they were fine. (excepting the exe, which I explain below)

I'm going to tell you some other things. I don't think they're relevant and likely will just cloud the discussion, but I'll add them anyways:

• testing was done on a new profile in MO2, v2.1.5
• OS is Windows 10 Pro
• I was using SKSE 2.0.7, with the old executable of Skyrim which I retrieved using the steam console (download_depot 489830 489833 1298692161422189837) I am doing this because several of my mods when playing normally have SKSE plugins, which are based off the SKSE 2.0.7 executable (and haven't been updated yet)

Any help is greatly appreciated.
