The word Disarm

Post » Mon May 21, 2012 2:03 pm

A while back i went to whatever peak it is the one for one of the words for diasarm is. i aleready had one of the words when i got there i could not learn the word even though it was shining and it did the thing telling me i just learnt a new word. i went there for one of the quests "find the source of power". i tried reloading a save before i got to the word 3 times each time it would not let me learn thhe word so i just said screw it.

i got another "find the source of power" for silverdrift lair and when i get tto the wall there is no word shining but i can still hear the sounds that are made when youre near a word wall

i also am not able to get a mask from the dragon priest that i killed from here. I dont know if it will be that i will never get to get anymore masks because on the previous "find the source of power" i did nt get a mask fro the priest there either. i learnt the last word of marked for death from the previous quest i dont remember where tho.

Nwow i cant even complete the quest and now i will getr no more of those :( is there any way to fix this.ive tried reloading previous saved data but all i have right now is like 2 min before i go into the fight with the priedt

If you had console commands you could try workaround this by manually giving yourself certain items. But they are disabled for PS3, and discussing having such a useful option seems to get silenced on these forums.

So your only other option I know of, is reverting to an even EARLIER save and trying again... (hopefully you have an even earlier save to reload and try?)If you don't, just keep tryign to reload that save you have just before the first wall bugs out, and instead of trying to learn that word, leave it alone, go out and do something else, maybe even go to a new wall and try to collect that word first.

Something about the commands having the potential to bugger your save game, but seeing as people are having their save games break naturally (like yours right now) It would be nice to have an option to manually fix things, like they have on the PC. And Sony in general doesn't want the console experience to include console commands.

But that's another topic, I suggest you try what I said in my previous post, if you go out and try other walls BEFORE the original one bugs out, you might be able to "un-glitch" whatever series of events is causing this first wall to bug out, (which seems to start a series of bugs preventing you from learning new words or getting the next mask)
It might still be salvageable.

I would love to try what you told me but i cant because i deleted that save from right before the first wall bug because t has been too many hours after that incident. And the current wall hapend like 10 min before i posted this problem.

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...

I have 3 missing words: the last one for Whirlwind & 2 for Slow Time. Pretty annoying. Especially since the Whirlwind one is stuck in my log as Find the Word of Power & hundreds of hours later a courier comes up & gives me the same broken quest again. So, that one quest is stuck twice in my Misc. section. So, I reloaded an earlier save & shot the courier before he could speak. Unfortunately, he's an immortal NPC so I had to disable him then run. Lol.

I'm hoping the patch will fix these 3 broken word walls.

Anybody out there have a clue why word walls don't work sometimes?

ive done way to much to restart i hate redoing i dont like ging thru something i now already im like this with movies aswell i an only see them once then i can only watch until i forget more then 70% of the movie and even then i dont like rewatching. i will however make a ne character just to get the trophies for the companions quest line (i cant kill the silverhand leader since i killed him way before i got the quest. i found out i need 2 side quests to get to the main quests.) And also i have layed 170hrs thats way to much to redo. im just gana have to play like this too bad that DISARM had to be the one broken for me i would have loved to been able to use it.

It's not impossible to get everything on one character. I've done it & got my first platinum.

Castillo, you don't have to get all words for the trophy. Just 1 of 3 for any given shout will still count, based on my experience. I never used many of the shouts, including disarm. I'll try the rest out when we get DLC. Might be interesting to see what animal allegiance is like.

I had this problem with the word wall at Hag's End. But I read on Wiki that it is only broken if you have already gotten the first word for that shout. So maybe we can find out if it's the same for these other walls and avoid that happening.

Crap, I was supposed to get a mask from the Dragon priest last night, wasn't I?

I have two masks so far, but have killed more Dragon priests than that. Do they all drop masks?

"i also am not able to get a mask from the dragon priest that i killed from here"

no idea about the word problems but as for the dragon priest mask problem, i had the same thing happen to me twice and i was worried i wouldnt be able to get them all, but i now have 7 masks and still got 9 words of power to get so i figure ill probley find the last mask soon, so id say nothing to worry about, you'll probley end up getting them somewhere else.
