I may need to mod my game to fix it...

This post originally came from the spoilers thread:

At the end of Repairing the White Phial when Quintus shows the fixed phial to Nurelion and Nurelion collapses and is supposed to die, well that is exactly what isn't happening. Nurelion collapses but due to him being set to essential he wont actually die! He just falls to his knees!

In the console I checked if he was essential and he is. I tried setting his essential to 0 (and I used BaseID and not RefID if you are wondering), but it didn't change him from having essential at 1 to essential at 0. Using the kill command through the console obviously wont work without changing the essential to 0 first.

While Nurelion crawls around on the floor Quintus enters into conversation with me but only gives me a generic greeting with no unique dialogue options. When I exit the conversation he tries again to speak to me a second time and still nothing new or interesting happens. Then he just gets back to doing other things while Nuerlion just crawls around. Obviously I can't finish the quest in this state!

I don't know if this would effect anything but I do have many mods installed.

Can anyone help me please?

Homing in on the answer: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/615805-/62497626

Does anyone know how to access an essential alias?

It seems that Nuerlion has an essential alias that will prevent him from dying no matter what you do with the console. Could someone please tell me how I might be able to make the right changes with the Creation Kit? I've some very minor experience with the Elder Scrolls Construction Set from Morrowind, so I'm not a complete newb. Thanks in advance.

Turning off the essential status should work fine. Did you set him to not essential before completing the quest or after? If you did it after completing, kill him via console. By the way in vanilla game he has no essential flag. So one of your mods alters him.
