Way of the Voice Glitch

[Hyacathusarullistad]

I`ve done some Googling, but haven't been able to find any information on this. I've found information for a similar bug, but the suggested fixes for it haven't resolved what I'm experiencing. Hopefully someone here will be able to help.

 

I've recently started a new playthrough, and am trying to begin the main quest. After the Greybeards teach me Ro and grant me the ability to use it, they then ask me to use my new shout to strike the targets as they appear. When the target is summoned the standard animation is displayed - but my screen also goes blue as if I've entered an ethereal state. My shouts have no effect on the targets, but everything else reacts the way it should, My screen returns to normal once the target disappears.

 

I've found a great deal of information on how to work around the potential issue of the targets not appearing at all (something I never experienced in any of my playthroughs); but I've found nothing telling me what to do if my shout has no effect on them once they're summoned.

I'd guess that this is related to the Dragonborn DLC, which I've recently installed. I also have all the unofficial patches from here on the Nexus, as well as the DSAMG mod (and accompanying Greybeard patch) and SkyRe (all modules). I do have quite an extensive mod collection beyond that, but nothing that affects either the Greybeards or shouting. I've tried loading from an earlier save (when I first entered High Hrothgar) with various configurations of the above mods, but nothing seems to be working.

Has anyone else experienced and resolved this issue before?

Hey

I've just come across the same bug - am using Skyre, but not dragonborn DLC.

 

Any ideas anyone?

 

Thanks

Just came across this bug last night with my first playthrough with Skyre. I don't have the Dragonborn DLC. I tried setting MQ105TargetsHit to 1, 2, then 3 expecting the counter in the quest to advance but this is not the case. I tried setting the stage to 100 (the next stage) but then graybeards are stuck spawning etheral targets.

I actually just had this same issue.

 

At least for me, there was a brief instant between when the blue "etherialness" went away and when the target de-spawned. It took a few tries, but I was able to time my shout to hit the targets in this brief moment of vulnerability, and advance the quest.

 

Hope that works for you (assuming that you havent just moved on :P)

I had this same problem with SkyRe installed - knarfy's advice worked for me.

 

The summoned ethereal target exists for 8 seconds after being casted

I ended up discovering knarify's resolution on my own as well. Quite by accident, too - I just ended up mashing the shout button in frustration and it fired at the last split second.

 

If I were to guess, I would say the issue was with DSAMG, which at the time I originally posted was not fully compatible with a number of scripts from Dragonborn. This has since been resolved, and since using the most recent DB-compatible version have had no such issues with the Greybeards.
