SirTrijj Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Ok..i am down in the ratway & esbern is not talking. the others down there r though. So, he never opens the door. Could i get the next quest-stage for him? I did try the tcl & went on in...but he had no text. Thnx for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbincubation Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:A_Cornered_Rat Here's the UESP page with a list of the stages, for that quest, at the bottom. It will also link you to the next quest in line, at the top, in case you need the stages for it too. It's a good idea to keep UESP favorited, as it has a lot of the bugs explained, workarounds listed, and other helpful info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTrijj Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) TY for the link. I'll go check that out. Edit: I tried several combinations and got none of them to work. Here's is what I thought was correct. setstage MQ202 stage 160Probably got the spacing wrong, right? Nope...it wasn't the spacing, it was the stage..i didn't need to type stage. 170 got me to where Esbern goes to his chest...but he just kneels b4 it & won't follow. I went on to Riverwood w/o him. But 180 had Delphine complaining to me about leaving him & to go back & get him but nothing had changed. He was still by his chest. What to do now?

thumbincubation Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 You might have to go up to the top, click on the next quest, Alduin's Wall, and then scroll down and see what stages of that quest you'll need, if he's not cooperating. I don't know what would be breaking him, though. Yes, you got it. No need to type stage. Just setstage MQ202 160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfandrews Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 That is an old bug that USLEEP fixed long ago. Do you have USLEEP installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTrijj Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) I probably don't have USLEEP installed on this playthrough. I forgot about that 1. I'll go c if I have it & put it on if I don't. ty guys Edit: So, I didn't have USLEEP...I got that enabled now but the results were the same. Esbern is not talking...not opening the door. What gives with this 1? I've nvr had this ever happen. Edited January 21, 2019 by SirTrijj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbincubation Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 It may be because the problem had already started before installing USLEEP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfandrews Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It may be because the problem had already started before installing USLEEP. This is probably correct. You will most likely have to go back to a save before you tried to interact with Esbern. Ideally before you entered the Ratway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
