Looks like you will probably have to start a new game due to broken/incomplete/buggy/glitched code. I and many others have had to start numerous new games for many different reasons. Personally I only wanted to make one character and do as much as possible in the game with one character. But with this game, that seems to be impossible. You are lucky to get done 1/10 of all there is to do/explore before something goes horribly wrong, then you can either never play again, wait for a patch that may or may not work, or start a new game. I have started 6 new games so far. Two of my characters only had one save file and were deleted due to a bug that overwrites certain manuel saves. Another character I made the game would freeze when running through the building on fire (a breton female) during the opening sequences, and it happened 3 times in a row so I just deleted her and started a new game. The other couple new games I started was because my game would get so laggy or have broken activation where I couldn't interact with anything. So, new game, beth bug, new game, beth bug, rinse and repeat and so on and so forth. Welcome to the club. The site UESP can help to avoid many bugs/glitches, but that takes a lot of the fun out of the game because you know what is going to happen next in the quest you are currently "trying" to complete. And then sometimes you complete a quest but the game says "nope, you did not. have a nice day!" Always save twice and always save every 15-30 minutes on new save files, that way when the inevitable beth bug happens you can at least go back an hour or two instead of starting a new game. It's such a chore to play this broken game in the state it's in right now. Ugh...
