Does anybody have a solution for the bug that prevents the player from continuing the Season Unending quest after having started the "Joining The X" quest-lines without actually completing them?

I see the bug (or similar) mentioned http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1317665-unofficial-buglist/ and http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Season_Unending#Bugs, but I don't see any solution.

My specific situation is as follows:

A while ago, I had started Joining the Stormcloaks and completed its initial quest to prove my worth, but I have not taken the oath from Ulfric. Yet I was still able to convince Ulfric to meet the Greybeards. It appeared as a different topic choice.

I had also started Joining the Legion a while ago and completed its initial quest to prove my worth, but I have not taken the oath from General Tulius either. Yet I am unable to discuss with General Tulius about meeting with the Greybeards. It doesn't even appear as a topic - I can only choose to take the oath or tell him that I need to think about it.

The only difference between the two factions is that before approaching Ulfric about the meeting, I had already discussed having completed his initial proof-of-worth quest and then denied taking the oath, before I had even started the Season Unending quest. However, when I first approached General Tulius to talk about the meeting I realized that I had completed his initial proof-of-worth quest but I had not yet informed him, so there was no conversation choices at all - he simply tells me to talk to Legate Rikke. As soon as I'm near Legate Rikke she initiates conversation with me and advances the quest by telling me to talk to General Tulius, and now I'm in the situation described above where I can only talk to him about the oath, not about meeting the Greybeards.

I'm not going to take the oath of either side, but apparently according to the bug reports it doesn't seem like it would help anyway.

So is there any way for me to get the option to talk to General Tulius about meeting the Greybeards?

Should I use the console to advance the quest? Is there any chance that I can break something important to the quest-line? Any suggestions as to what quest stage I should advance to?

Thanks.

Bump - (sorry, just once). I'm stuck here on the main quest and I'd really like to continue playing it Any ideas on how to properly fix this issue or do I just have to wait until it's patched (hopefully sometime in Jan.)?

You're on this quest, right -- http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:The_Jagged_Crown_(Imperial)

So try using "setstage CW02A 200" and see if that fixes Tulius's dialogue. You'll technically be a part of the Legion now, but it's better than not being able to proceed at all, right?

No, I'm not on that quest. I'm not going to take the oath to join the Legion. And actually I do have the dialog choice to take the oath, if I wanted to use it. The choice that I don't have is about meeting the Greybeards. But from what I've read anyway, even taking the oath (or presumably advancing past it using the console) wouldn't help to solve this problem.

For me, it's better to not proceed at all if currently my only option is to guess that a console command might work and simply hope that it doesn't screw up my game.

I guess I was hoping for somebody to post a verified console solution or preferably provide a non-console solution (like talking to NPCs in a certain order or at certain times).

I'll just wait for Bethesda to patch the quest in Jan. Hopefully they'll address my issue in particular. And at least I can be confident that if they do fix it, my saved game will be in a state that THEY left it in. This should help there patch to identify my corrupted game and fix it, which might not be possible if I mess around with console commands and still manage to screw it up even more.

But thanks anyway for replying.

I don't know if the 1.4 patch was supposed to fix my problem, but it didn't. I'm still stuck on the main quest without any dialog option from General Tulius to proceed, even though the quest arrow points to him.

Next patch maybe?

i have the same problem
according to the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Joining_the_Legion wiki, i used resetquet cw01a, now i have the option to get Tulius to the meeting

however, after done the meeting, and done Alduin, I decided to join legion, only realized Joining Legion quest is gone
i tried setstage cw01a xxx (1, 100, 150, 160), none of them worked
also get no quest from soldier who suggest me go to Solitude to get recruit into Legion
