ScottyJD09 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 So in my current play through, I've been working towards becoming thane of all the holds. However, I've come across a bug that I can't figure out what is causing it, and I've never experienced it before. Essentially what happens is I return Tolfdir's shield to the jarl of Markarth. The dialogue option "Is there anything else you need, my jarl" is then available, and upon selecting it the jarl responds "There is room in my court for a new thane...blah blah blah" and you can then choose to accept or deny the quest to help people of the hold and purchase property. However, when I select the option to accept the quest, no quest objective is updated in the journal. Then when I go and complete people's quests throughout the hold, there are no updated objectives (You've helped x/5 people in the Reach). I've purchased the property in Markarth and have helped well more than 5 people, but it seems that since the quest was never started, I can't talk to the jarl to officially become thane.Trying to use console commands, I've tried "setstage favor250 20", to try and force the quest to complete. However this only gives the dialogue option with the jarl that "I've helped your people." The jarl says he names you as Thane, but guards don't acknowledge it, I don't get the Blade of Markarth, and Argis the Bulwark doesn't appear in my home (the whole reason I want to be Thane, because the dude is awesome).I even went so far as to start a whole new game, reach level 20, complete the preliminary quests, but the bug still happens. I have been playing with mods, but have never experienced this bug until this playthrough. The only mods I added that I can possibly fathom would effect quests like this are Alternate Start or Open Civil War, but I don't think either of those are the problem. Quite frankly I'm at a loss for ideas on what to do. If anybody has any ideas on what might be the cause of this bug or possible ideas on how to fix it or even get passed it, I would appreciate it!

saurusmaximus Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 If you really want to solve the issue, post your load order and we'll start there. If all you really want is Argis as a follower, do the following: -In the console, type: prid 000A2C92-Then type: enable-Then type: movetoplayer He should appear next to you, and you simply have to have him follow you.
