I am having issues at the moment after completing upto "Regain Winterhold Hold", the Legate I need to speak to does not have the dialogue available to initiate the quest, I have tried numerous console commands and other methods as waiting 24+ hours, doing other quests etc.

Howdy, I came here tonight hoping to find a quick answer to this one myself, I'm having the same exact problem.


Man I hope this is not a game breaker

Can anyone help? :/

GmG17, I tried everyting I could think of tonight, I even wiiped out a Stormcloak camp in the North all but one guy that I cannot kill, tried for about a half hour to kill this guy so appearently he's not supposed to die. I went all over the place for days and days just looking around and went back...nothing. The one guy is still in the Stormcloak camp and the Legate sayd nothing to me but why she fights for the Imperal army and what she think it will take to win the war.

I even stood in her tent for about 15 mins, she kept saying something to me but still no quest. I went back to the general in Solitude and that did no good at all either.

I found one more Legate Guy in the middle of the map just standing there all alone, all he says to me is "watch out for Stormcloak spys"

This is a deal breaker at 180 hours of playtime.

I guess no one else having this same broken quest? It looks like just you and I.

OK I "THINK" I may have figured it out.

It seemd to me that the mission "Regain the Winterhold Hold" was kinda hinky, so I tried to wipe out all the Stormcloaks/camps I could find around Winterhold, I only have one listed on my map though and it's the Stormcloak camp with that has the ONE guy I cannot kill.
So I had this brainstorm, I went to Winterhold to talk to the yarl and the Imperal officer there, the yarl wasn't there, but neither was the Imperal that makes the plans in the war room (to the left as you go into the Yarls house.) so I went into the war room and for the first time noticed that if I looked at the flags on that map they had a (E) next to the name of the position, so I clicked on all the Stormcloak flags (blue) and each time it said (map updated).

I found ONE hold that is just between Winterhold and Windhelm that I have not yet cleared, so I think you just have to go through each Stormcloak hold on that map until you get them all.

Anyways I am done for the night cause I need to go to work tomorrow, but you can give this a try and see if this is whats holding the mission up for you.

I'll try tomorrow

Let me save you some time here. Give up now. It is broken as broken can be, I spent hours of my life trying to get the dialogue from Rikke with no success. I'm sure once the CK comes out someone who did not receive any money from paying customers to ensure such things are not broken will make it work.

I have a similar but slightly different problem with the "Reinification Of Skyrim" quest line: after taking the fort in "Regain Winterhold Hold", I report to General Tullius. He promotes me and gives my reward but there is no dialogue option to move on to the next section of the quest ("Regain The Reach").

I've searched online but found no answer that works.

Here guys, three options if you play on PC (not limited, just three that are supposed to work). My heartfelt thanks for figuring it out go to; noxaeXXX (YouTube user), The Elder Scroll Wiki, and the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages. The tow latter sites are great for tips and learning console commands.

1. Become a werewolf, transform in the imperial camp then run away, wait a few hours, then come back. Option should be there.

2. Become a LV4 vampire, summon a permanent follower (like Lucien Lachance). Become invisible and fast travel to the imperial camp. Let the imperials kill the follower then dip from the scene. Cure vampire and smile as the legate gives you the next quest.

3. If you're an Imperial, attack the Legate, then use Voice of the Emperor to calm her and ask away. If you're not an Imperial here's the console code to get Voice of the Emperor: player.addspell 000e40ca

Try these and if they don't work then don't lose hope! I know how bad it feels not to subdue Ulfric Stormcloak .
I'm sure we will figure out something that definitely works; THERE'S NOOOOOO DOUBT ABOUDIT!!!

I have tried everything, nothing works.

this really blows.

I am stuck where Tullius should have an option (after taking the fort in the Winterhold hold), to send me to capture Fort Amol; I get promoted (to Legate) and my reward, but there is no dialogue option to start the next section.

im gunna take this 2nd play through SO damn slow. im only picking ingredients until a patch hits xbox...wish I had a capable Pc to play on ;[

i never got to far into the civil war quest the first, time, good to know not to bother this time either. hope ur problems get solved soon, thieves guild glitching on me was a huge dissappointment but i still played another 80 hours before I started over.

Same bug here,I tried everything console commands,hitting her then calm her and so on,setstage commands.Nothing works.

Having so many bugs on important quests like the guild ones is terrible.I don't remember having serious issues with guild quests or mq in Oblivion or Morrowind.
Beth,you should punish your testers playing the guilds quests at least 500 times because I don't think even one bothered to do it once.
By this logic I assume in the next Elder Scrolls we won't even able to start the main quest.

Bethesda has a lot to answer for.

Still no fix for this? I have tried everything I could think of, spent countless hours, and got an HD pack.....
