Solitude Missing from Map

Post » Mon Jun 04, 2012 11:33 am

I am on the glitched mission to liberate skyrim. Allied with the StormCloaks. I am seeing the glitch where I report to the commander at the camp, but he rambles on and it doesn't give me the option to report in. The arrow is still above his head so i cannot complete the quest. After this glitched happened is when Solitude randomly disappeared from my map. Any ideas? Has anyone else seen Solitude missing? I emailed Bethesda but never recieved a reponse. On their FAQ section it tells of the Liberate Haafinger glitch, but their fix was to make sure it was the only thing selected in the journal, which is the case, and still not working. Anyone have any workds of wisdom? I have no recent saved points.

Thank you in advance.

Please do not post Spoilers in General.

People come to General to learn about the game without learning about what happens in the game. If they want to know about what happens, that is what the Cheats, Hints and Spoilers section is for.

Do not use quest details or location specific details related to quests/puzzles/NPCs in your posts in this section. General is for discussing gameplay and mechanics. General topics about the the game include but are not limited to races, items and their use, magic, enchanting, skills, character builds, criticism, praise, funny random things that happen, places from an esthetic standpoint and and other general topics.

Use the Spoilers Section if you have to post quest details or other spoilers or a thread about the same. This also includes console commands, and character build exploits.

I will move this now.

Solitude always disappears from the map right before the final battle, to prevent you from just fast-traveling there. That is by design, and happens as soon as the Battle for Solitude quest starts.

Ohh I had no idea it was by design... Thank you Sir. Any idea how to fix the glitch of not getting the mission to start by not being able to report in?

You have to go to the Solitude Stables and report in. Or to the commander highlighted by the quest icon. You can't just show up and start nuking the city, Ulfric has to give his he-man speech...

I went up to him (arrow highlighted above his name) at the camp and he talks, but never gives me the option to report in.... I haven't tried the stables, I will see if I can find it.. Kind of a pain since it's no longer on my map to find..

I had the same problem but on the imperial side. I tried everything imaginable to get the quest started. I eventually gave up, did a heap load of other stuff and came back to it 20/30 hours game time later and there it was 'report in'.

I ended up getting the trophy by selecting "Battle for Solitude" mission. I completed it and got the trophy. When I go back to the came for Liberate "Haafinger" i still don't have the option. Oh well. I will go back after I complete everything else. Thank you for all the responses. It's much appreciated.
