Regain the Rift Bug


Spazthemax

Recommended Posts

I'm having some trouble with the Imperial Civil War Questline. I do the two quests for the Pale without a hitch (A False Front/Battle for Fort Dunstad).

 

I notice that the campaign maps around skyrim don't update with our progress, but that isn't the game-breaking part.

 

After taking the Pale, I report to General Tullius. He gives me my reward and promotes me to Preafect. He says I should go to the Imperial Camp in the Rift, which appears on my map. I go there to find that Legate Rikke is there. However there is no quest marker. Even more troubling, when I talk to her she has dialogue as if I haven't completed the Fort Dunstad quest.

 

Potential fixes I've tried: (to no effect)

 

Attacking her once, then talking to her.

Attacking her into hostility, then yeilding, then talking to her.

Attacking her into hostility, then using Voice of the Emporer, then talking to her.

Leaving the area, waiting over a week in game, and returning to talk to her.

Using console commands to complete the "Compelling Tribute" quest, and talking to her.

Backing up to a save before retaking the Pale, doing it all over again.

I have the same problem, did you ever find a fix?

I just figured out how to fix this bug. You have to go back to an old save before attacking the fort. You have to do the 'secret option' to regain the Pale. Go to Dawnstar, preferably very early when the Jarl is still asleep and unguarded. His bedroom is the door on the bottom floor right. Attack him until his health is reduced to 0. This will complete the attacking Fort Dunstad quest. After that report to Tullius to complete taking the Pale. Rikke should be at the Rift Imperial camp and her dialogue should be fixed. This worked for me after trying EVERYTHING else (short of starting a new game) to fix it. I hope this helps. Edited by alissad
