Hey everyone and Bethesda Softworks. I've hit a glitch in the main quest. I apologize but I don't have the official name.

Quest: The Graybeards sent me to a dungeon to retrieve a horn, I instead find a note and am instructed to meet "a friend" at an inn in riverwood run by Delphine(sp?) by renting a room at the inn.

Issue: Delphine is not in the inn, she is about midway between Riverwood and Whiterun near the river, stuck. When I try to talk to her she just goes "hmmm?" Since I can't rent a room from her, I can't continue the quest.

I've tried reloading the save game immediately prior to beginning that stage of the quest(i.e. before reading the note) but she is always stuck there. The only fix I can think of is to attack her to get her moving again and then have her chase me back to town... But I don't think that is sure to work.

Any help here would be great Bethesda or my fellow Skyrim players. Any chance a fix for this is in the works? I gather that not everyone has seen this glitch so maybe a restart would fix it. Of course I'm not keen to restart if I might just run into this glitch or another one again.

Thanks guys!

Turned invisible on the college quest where she tests her abilties on me.
Turned green at first and everything was good.
Then she was turning me into animals and the dog stayed even after she said she did it right and I was invisible and have stayed invisible since then.

ugh.

One more, and this isn't gamebreaking or anything, but when I married Mjoll the Lioness, Aerin followed her into the bedroom in my house in Whiterun. He straight-up didn't stop following her around at all.

...so awkward.

Thieves Guild quest, Hard Answers

When I need to return to Enthir, or whatever his name is, he refuses to initiate dialogue, preferring to say, 'This is going to be bad for business' if I try to speak to him. I have restarted this quest multiple times with the same response, always. I have never stolen or pickpocketed him, and fulfilled all quest objectives, and even reset the console several times.

If I was lower level, this would be a lot less annoying, as opposed to being 80% of the way to level 26 and being very close to just restarting.

1. Don't know if it's been mentioned but some idiotic "fugitive" (random encounter) got me killed after deciding to start a chat with me while I was fighting a wispmother (and wisps)....of course, my attackers didn't stop the fight during our little chat.

My save game was just before the combat and whenever I would reload, the fugitive would show up and start conversation with my PC again and again...and I would die again and again...

This happened again while I was fighting some mammoth...the end result was just as gruesome.

A check to see if the PC is in combat before initiating the fugitive's dialog would be a welcome addition....

2. Also, I managed to screw up the Forsworn Conspiracy quest during the escape from Cidhna mine: I pickpocketed a note from Mandanach (whatever was his name) before killing him...then after I killed him I got a quest update telling me to check his corpse.. The game did not recognized that I already had the note in hands and I got stuck in there as the door would not open and the quest would not update.

You do know that you can end any dialogue immediately by pressing "b" or "o" on consoles? (unless it is a major quest dialogue such as a Jarl)

At the beginning of "The Cure for Madness" when Shadowmere is supposed to appear, the pit just bubbles and the audio plays... but no Shadowmere. The quest registers that Shadowmere appears, but pit just keeps bubbling. I've tried reloading, fast traveling, and searching the whole area, but still nothing.

- In Shroud Hearth Barrow, the combination on the first door does not work (and not all traps fire on failed entry). I did attempt all 27 permutations of the code just in case, but none of the 27 worked. Initially, only one trap fired (the lower one to the left, I believe, as you face the door). Upon restarting my console, two traps fired, both on the left. Further restarting did not yield a different result. Going back to an earlier save after getting the Sapphire Claw returns me to the single trap firing.

Otherwise, the game has been extraordinarily enjoyable.

edit - I performed a cache reset on my console but it did not fix the issue. Sadly, the last other save I have is also from after getting the claw, so if it's generated then, I'm unable to repair the issue.

By the way, tried this again today; now all of the trap nodes are firing but the correct code still won't work.

Theives guild quest Goldeglow estate. Door to house was free to open. Had to leave to get some lockpicks, come back and it needs expert lockpicking to get in. Impossible to get in now at my level and to progress through the quest.

For the Miscellaneous Quest "Talk to Mulush about Omluag", Mulush gro-Shugurz has apparently vanished somewhere, as there is no quest marker and he never appears in the Smelter Overseer's house.

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, I somehow had a key to unlock the Smelter Overseer's house... If I have the key, that must mean I took it from him, which would then mean that Mulush might be one of the Ash Piles that is laying around Markarth after the Forsworn Conspiracy/No One Escapes Cidhna Mine quest...

EDIT 2: Just went checking Ash Piles, sure enough Mulush was one of them. Damnit. DISREGARD THIS POST. Though, the quest should have auto-failed since he's dead.

First Lessons: Cast Mage Light spell.

Repro
1. Achieve level 8.
1. Clear the Thieves cave/mine on the way to the first town in the main quest line.
2. Complete golden claw mission and dungeon.
3. Run to the stables outside white run and purchase a horse.
4. Ride Horse to mages collage. (on the way there I killed a giant that was passing by.)
5. Talk to Faralda.
6. Attempt to persuade her to let you in.
7. Purchase spell for test. (Did not have the spell before hand)
8. Rerun through the dialogue to take the entrance test.
9. Observe that the player is unable to cast the spell when asked by the NPC.

Result:
Player is blocked from further access to the mages college.

Expected Result:
Player is able to cast the spell when asked or have it active before hand to complete the quest.

Note:
An exploit was used to level the caricature to level 8 at the beginning of the game. (High elf Male)

Unable to complete some of the Bard missions due to finding the item already, and for the ones i did not find and completed the quest it will not remove it from the inventory.

I am also playing a destro mage and Im 96 in destro currently and the NPC Faralda will not give the destro quest to get master spells.

I'm having trouble with a couple quest. in the main quest, Season Unending, When i try and talk to Ulfric Stormcloak, he just tells me to talk to Galmar. I also can't complete the Joining the Stormcloaks quest because when I try and talk to Galmar, he just says "I can't believe you convinced Ulfric to talk with the empire" even though I have not been able to talk with Ulfric.

On the Jagged Crown quest that takes you to korvanjund there is a glitch where you can not enter the temple. I stumbled on korvanjund earlier in the game before I activated the quest and killed the bandits outside. Went in and found the entrance to be caved in. Later when I activated the quest and got to the temple the only people that showed up were that woman you follow and hadvar. We fought our way into the front door and the entrance to korvanjund is still caved in and I can't continue the quest.

Then when I leave and go back in the door, the rest of the people are behind the rock wall, I can hear them pull their swords and charge in, but I'm still stuck behind the wall.

Visit the shrine of Azura (Xbox) - the NPC (Aronea Lenith) is hostile from start so cannot complete or get follow up. I haven't seen this listed anywhere else, searched this forum but no hits - I really hope it gets fixed in the latest patch.

I went back a few saves and the NPC was still hostile. Didn't realise she was a NPC at first, she is unkillable and goes untargettable when her HP gets to nothing and just crouches down covered in a blue glow, then she fully heals up and is targettable again.

I have this exact problem. the wiki suggested this might be fixed by going and paying bounties, but I have no bounties out for me. Regardless, I tried using console command to set bounties to zero and it did nothing. Also, I tried the spell harmony to stop her from attacking, but she it too high of a level (I am 28 so if she scales with me then she is over 25 - really though i don't know if that is how she is leveled anyway).

Needless to say this bug is realllly frustrating and something of a gamebreaker, as its a pretty important quest chain.

Sry bout the non quest glitch. Forgot to switch to the other topics.

In the quest the fallen you're suppose to trap Odahviing and I did that and am now staring at a huge trapped dragon but receiving no validation of continuing in the quest. I tried to go back to an older save over and over and complete it again, but I'm getting the same results. It's really irritating because this is part of the main quest >:/
