Annoying "Awakening" quest error.

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:25 am

Long story short, I decided to start a new character just for this(and deleted all of my old saves)...not sure if I should have. I was doing some light leveling in the beginning, and found a few locations, including the Lord Stone during my first run through Dimhollow Crypt. I was level 10, so I died horribly a few times.


So I went back to leveling, and around the time I got Breezehome, something was wrong. I found out about the Breezehome alchemy lab glitch, read it up online, and someone said a quick fix to this was to delete the plug-in, buy the lab, redownload it, and boom, all is well. So, I moved it to a flashdrive, bought the house upgrades, then moved it BACK to the 360.


Well...all is NOT well. Dawnguard seemed to restart as normal, as in, I was back at the beginning("no big deal", I thought to myself. "I was only at Awakening anyway."). Well...for whatever reason, when I try to fast travel BACK to the Lord Stone(from Fort Dawnguard), the game freezes...so I tried fast travelling to Tower Mzark. Worked fine. Tried PHYSICALLY moving my character(and by physically, I mean huffin' it Morrowind style)to the entrance to Dimhollow Crypt. Game paused as if loading the area, then froze...


So I tried fast travelling from Mzark to Lord Stone, still froze.


So I tried reloading a save of BEFORE I started the quest "Dawnguard" and ever went up to the fort(but after that quick fix to get the aclhemy lab in Breezehome), and the game still froze when I fast traveled.


So I deleted the entirety of Dawnguard(Dawnguard, not the latest patch, just Dawnguard), and redownloaded it, and it still froze.


As it stands, I just spent $20 on a DLC I can't even seem to play now, and my only logical theories are to start a brand new character and go back through the days of effort I put into leveling(OR go back to a point where I was still rather low leveled before I did the fix to get the alchemy lab), or clear my cache and simply re-download and install EVERYTHING and HOPE that that works and does not screw everything up further.



My question in regards to all of this: "What the hell, Bethesda?"
