First things first, NO i did not get my name from Skyrim, ive had it for 5+ years.

On to the main issue.

I have been up to this point able to continue the main quest quite fine and bug free, but now on my newest char, I cannot progress onto Dragon Rising, I Gave Farengar the Dragon Stone, he says Thank you, see the Jarl and NOTHING happens after that.

Ive tried every console command, Ive seen tried resurrecting Irileth, teleporting her to be, but nothing seems to fix it or change it, I want to continue my 2 handed, Restoration, Mace + shield character, but I cannot due to this bug.

Am I S.O.L?

Yes, I have some mods installed, but they shouldn't affect the main quest, mainly because the mods i have installed have nothing to do with the main quest, one mod though, changes guards, RNG or someting. Would that affect it in anyway? What it does is just changes the guards armour, weapons, appearance.

Also, my dad is at a part in the main story where you ask the orc Librarian about the elder scrolls, but the orc will not tell him anything, will only ask him if he can fetch books for him. My dad already did the Septimus Quest, but did not get the elder scroll, He will have to back track I do believe.

But Anyway, Any idea on what to do about the Dragon Uprising

Also, My skyrim crashes randomly for no reason sometimes, even when I try to smith Glass Armour/Weapons, it crashes to desktop...

I am alsohaving this issue with this quest... any clues out there

I've been having general pathing problems with NPCs lately; one of which prevented Alduin from landing on the tower in the opening sequence. The headsman just stood there with the axe raised, while Alduin flapped noisily around town and generally not doing anything. I had to restart, which seemed to work. That was this evening when I tried to start a new game, so I have no idea exactly how recent this issue is. NPCs that I'm prompted to follow can't seem to figure out how to get where they're supposed to be leading me, either. Is this a 1.4 thing that I just haven't encountered before, or what?

i recently been experiencing this thing where you return the dragon stone to the mage and he says thanks and all but the npc that suppose to come and announce that the jarl wants to meet them [the D.E. guard] never appears. I thought it was some mod but i uninstalled every mod, validate the game with steam, started a new game, nothing seems to work. Now the main quest doesn't advance and is frustrating.

"Alduin landing on the tower" was a problem I had before updating to 1.4.
I restarted the game after the update in hopes of being able to finish Skyrim. If I can't finish it this time I'm done. I've started this thing over and over, my life is only so long .... with no saves. L0L.

It's strange, because I never had this problem before 1.4. I uninstalled my mod .esps, even though they were just mods to add some clothing and weapons and shouldn't have had any effect on pathing (and never have before). It worked, but I seriously doubt it was the mods. Not with the problems I see other people having with pathing. Anyone have a fix for this? It's probably too early to check the Nexus, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

after uninstall mods, try earlier save. it could the mods made a void/left-over in that encounter, smetime like entering the zone, even its been uninstalled.

So no way to fix this bug without starting over?

Tell the Orc to get the books and then read the books he puts on the table. Reading the nearest one starts the next part of the quest.

I finally gave up trying to get Alduins Bane to work, nothing I tried worked. I had to use the setstage cheat to bypass it.

Sad that such a blatant game stopping bug managed to make it past beta.
