I think it is literally impossible to reach that dungeon without doing it 'the quest way'.
Im sorry, but all I can think of is: reload a save.

This is a TES mantra since Daggerfall at least and we drone it constantly in hopes newbies can hear:

'Save often. Hard save. Save in different slots.'

Why? Its a TES game.

Yeah you know what, it does irk me.
Report or shut up but do not post about it, is my motto.
If youre having a problem, report it. Please, please for the reading enjoyment of me and others please do not talk about it.
Put up or shut up.
If you want to report, go ahead, no need to post.
If you dont want to report, dont post.

Disclaimer: solely my opinion.

I don't know what to tell you Skuldafn is a one time trip you can never go back there ones you been there ones.

Why? I don't like reporting because I have seen mods be excessively quick to suspend people, and I see nothing at all here that would call for that - so just in case, I don't report, and I don't think much could cause me to report a thread or a post. I'm just trying to help the guy out, because he might be new. Apparently he didn't know how to do spoiler tags, so it turns out I can lend a hand by explaining them to him.

EDIT: Yeah, the guy has 24 posts at the moment. I'd say that definitely fits the definition of "new to the forums", so I'm trying to help out.


Easy. Type [ spoiler ] then the text you want inside then [ /spoiler ] except you don't include the spaces in between the brackets. End result is this button which you click to see the spoiler material:


If my explanation wasn't clear, just hit the "quote" button at the bottom right of my post to see exactly how I did it.

I understand the intent and I know its not meant to cause an itch but it does.
Its like: 'oo miss, miss, miss! johnny said a bad word miss!'
Look I know its not meant badly but it does come across as the most pedantic thing ever. You inform someone of things you wish to help out privately, you fill in a report, but you do not ever say: ' i couldve filed a a report just now'.

We are supposed to be advlts for goodness sake. We do not go say were gonna go tell teacher.

As I said, I understand the emotion and that it comes from good intent, but by golly, there is such a thing as style

the thing is that i havent been up there once... because after i freed odahviing i kept dying up there so then i reloaded my save back at dragonsreach so that i could level up and now that i feel capable of ogind back up there odahviing is gone but the marker "talk to odahviing" is still there...

alright thanks for that!! i'll be sure to use them from now on!!

If your on pc this is the only way.

Okay, granted. When I said "some people go and report" or whatever, I didn't mean that to be a veiled threat to report, or anything of that sort. Sorry if that's how it came across. I guess my intent was to remind that there are people around here that like to report things. I actually saw some guy - I always mentally picture him as a snotty adolescent - say he had reported a thread, and when I asked him why that was necessary when he could have just addressed his concern to the OP or whoever, he said that he reported people because he was keeping his nose clean and trying to stand out and attract the attention of the mods and help them out, because he wanted to be picked to be a mod.

I threw up in my mouth a little after that, and I personally can't imagine anything that would cause me to report anybody for a thread or a post. So, sorry if the way I phrased it made it sound like a veiled threat, or a goody-goody trying to be anol about the rules, but really I was just trying to clear things up before somebody like that other brat reported the thread and a very new poster got unwanted attention from a mod.

But it's all good. Misunderstanding cleared up and all.

Hey, no problem. Glad to help.

unfortunately i'm on ps3... do you think Bethesda would be able to help me/ patch this???

No Worries.
