The College of Winterhold quest problem

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 1:19 pm

In the quest "First Lessons," Tolfdir offers to teach my character to use a ward spell, but when I move to the spot I am supposed to stand in, he just stands there and doesn't do anything. I have tried reverting to my previously saved games, exploring other parts of the college, using a more powerful ward spell, talking to Tolfdir differently, moving around to different spots, and even tried killing him (this result in a battle against him and the others, and didn't result in the accomplishment of the quest. Eventually, I just had to leave the college because I could go no further without completing this quest. Have any advice? Is anyone else having this bug?

You have to actually cast the ward spell, then he'll fire a destruction spell at you while your ward is up.

That is the thing, I have casted the spell several times, and he just stands there. Even when I bought a higher ward.

Must be a bug then. I actually did the same quest today, and it worked fine for me. :confused:
