Arngier won't start "Words of Power" quests

Post » Thu May 31, 2012 8:16 pm

I've completed the pre-requisite "way of the voice" quest, quite a long time ago actually. In fact, I'm nearly halfway through the Main Quest at this point. Even so, Master Arngier never has, and doesn't seem to want to, have any dialogue option about finding new words of power.

As such, I can't get the repeating quest going where he tells me where to find them. One of my favorite things to do in this game is hunt down the words, and I like getting those quests from him.

I'm on PC, so I can console or mod this. Is there any way to kickstart this quest, get him to have the dialogue option?

I think you have to complete "The horn of Jurgen Windcaller" mission also.

From http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Dragon_Shouts ...

? (...) Once you have completed http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:The_Horn_of_Jurgen_Windcaller, you can also ask http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Arngeir if the Greybeards have found the locations of any Words of Power, and he will direct you to a Word Wall, marking it down on your map. (...) When all words that are currently available have been learned, Arngeir will stop giving locations, and will instead say that "all is silent at the moment".?

I did that a long time ago. UESP was one of the first places I checked.

Parthurnaax is alive.

I don't have very many words.

By all accounts, it should be working. Thus, it is fairly clear that his lack of this dialogue option is something of a bug or error/glitch. It's only happened to me this once, every other game I've played it works fine. I was wondering if there was a console command to get the quest started. Someone in CHS told me that there was, setstage freeformhighhrothgarA 10, and that works in a sense. It adds a marker to my map and journal, but it did not give Arngier the dialogue option.

Even after completing that quest, Argneir still doesn't have any dialogue options, and using that console command doesn't work twice.

At this point, I don't know what to do about it.

I'm blocked ... :(

Do you have Skyrim last version 1.5.26.0.5 and USKP 1.0 ?

Do you tried going though all dialogue that Arngeir has available? Maybe some line is hidden (run with mouse wheel) or perhaps you don't trigger all the dialogue avaliable, some kind of preliminary question first.

Also, try to speak with him in different places (indoor / outside) at different times of day / night. Maybe the trigger depends of that

Do you have a "letter from a friend" in your inventory? Is another "source" of locations of Word Walls... Open if you have not done yet.

...Or ?find the source of power in something? in journal (under misc quests)? Maybe you have to finish that quest first to Arngeir give you the dialogue.

You can reset Arngeir AI with console command but I think this is a to much shot in the dark ... Open console command, click in Argneir, then write resetAI , then ?enter?

Or you can reset the quest to inicial stage with resetquest freeformhighhrothgarA and try to talk to Argnier again.

I don't know ... :( If everything fails, you can report this bug https://unofficialskyrimpatch.16bugs.com/projects/7078 and try for a solution later.
