I require a workaround for a MQ bug

It seems to be either Amazing Follower Tweaks, Guard Dialogue Overhaul or maybe both. I don't have time to dig further right now, but disabling those two mods fixed the problem for me.

 

 

CONFIRMED (at least for me)

 

Amazing Follower Tweaks is the culprit.

 

Disable AFT before entering Usengrav Depths (after having stripped your follower naked (all "backpacks"), so you can re-equip later).

 

Run through until after you get the note, and then you can re-dress the follower at your leisure.

 

Interestingly enough, you ALSO don't miss a Potion on the suspicious pillar by the throne just above the word wall, and a Sword in the cave "near by". (Avoiding too much of a spoiler)

 

I have No Idea why AFT would do this. It's spooky, and worth bearing in mind if other things elswhere fail to appear.

I know I'm reviving a dead topic but after struggling to solve this myself, I was able to fix it!


I had the bug of Delphine only offering the rent a room option and no rent the attic room option available.


I tried everything that I could find on the internet and nothing worked for me.


First off I'll say try to avoid console commands, it f***s your game up big time if used incorrectly. Certain ones are safe but especially "SetStage" commands are game breaking and this Quest especially needs to be registered for the game to progress as it splits into another quest while active (A Blade in the Dark) which can only be activated by running it's scripts smoothly.


Also for future reference, ALWAYS and my mean ALWAYS save your game a lot. If you are forgetful like me then download the Auto Save Manager mod. It is highly customizable and always gives you saves to return to!


Okay so after trying all sorts of tips and techniques I tried my own out.


I would reload my game in Ustengrav Depths at the gate right where you find the "Note from a Friend".


1. Read the note and take it. Don't leave it behind as some mods may be messing with your scripts. Also when reading, wait a few seconds for your game to register what it's doing. This is a general rule of thumb. When running lots of mods containing scripts, take it slow. Don't force dialogue and just let things play through as they should to their full. This alone solves 70% of my bug encounters.


2. It would then say "Meet whoever took the horn" blah blah. I ran around the room for a bit here just to make sure the quest scripts had loaded properly. About 20 seconds of jumping and sprinting like a mad man.


3. Open console command (I know I just said that you should avoid it but this worked for me so just do it) and type in "coc riverwood" without the quote marks. This should teleport you to Riverwood but not exactly in Riverwood, just a few metres outside of Riverwood. I noticed fast travel allocates you to a different location in Riverwood, usually at the gate itself. I think that when fast travelling, it causes some sort of script problem. I'm no expert but it's my only logical guess.


4. Talk to Delphine and the option should be available.


Other steps I took included restarting Steam. Deleting older and obsolete saved games. Exiting to menu and loading to Ustengrav after the game had started.


I really hope this helps some of you as I was ready to pull out my hair!
