Main quest; Diplomatic Immunity

Post » Mon May 28, 2012 12:53 am

My problem is that Malborn never existed in my save. After i speak to Delvine ive to meet Melborn but there is no quest marker. WHen i type in console: player.moveto 00033f46 (the objectID of melborn) i never get to meet him because it is like he isnt in the game at all. I even started a whole new game without any mod and the same i cannot meet him :s

Iam confused i even tried several game version, uninstalled - reinstalled but to no avail..

If anyone can help me or shed some light please do what u can do

That's not how player.moveto traditionally works. Try this:
prid 00033f46moveto player
If that gives an error about the reference ID not being found, then he really isn't in your game. If it just doesn't work, then try:
prid 00033f46disableenable
Close the console, then...
prid 00033f46moveto player

Hey thx for the reply.

I just tried it out and iam afraid something weird is going on. When i follow ur instructions the console says: "item 00033f46 not found for parameter ObjectReferenceID" . In other words it means he doesnt exist in my game and now i cannot finish this game ever :x

Here i found him, i followed a dead follower Cosnach and i met Melborn in the room of "dead".

Screenshot: http://www.2shared.com/photo/FX2QogtJ/ScreenShot0.html

Is there a possibility i can revive him but intact, meaning he can be quest active ? I alrdy tried: player.placeatme (code Melborn) but he seems not active giving any quest options :/

A longshot, but did you try his object ID instead of his reference ID?

This is probably one of the stranger NPC bugs I have seen...

Looks like you may have to use the setstage questID XX deal.

Your best bet is to try different setstage commands from: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Diplomatic_Immunity
Example:
setstage MQ201 40

Yes i tried setting it on 40 but unfortunatly it misses Malborn to continue. It only works when i set it on 250 but i hope i can still play this quest

Is there a workaround into any harcoded/softcoded settings to make it possible to play this quest?

try to resurrect him, set the quest stage to before you needed him, then change the quest stage to the one you were at (try these 3 action in different orders, it might work if you mix and match). If he's reset to before the quest, restarting the quest stages should activate his new behavior.

Sounds like a good play, but how can i reset the quest? I cannot go to an older save i would lose like 200 hours of progress and trying to use setstage to 0 or any other value doesnt do anything :(

On the PC, it is possible to use the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Console to advance through the quest by entering setstage MQ201 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages.
sorry, i didn't notice this part. Please ignore my suggestion since it seems it does not work.


note: i'm just dishing out whatever comes to me from here on, so only try these with low to no chance of them working.


Have you tried going forward without him? As in going to the embassy on your own and doing w/e you're supposed to do?

It seems the 'resurrect' command can be used like 'resurrect 1' to keep the equipment intact. Might it enable his quest dialog? (also try 2,3 and 4 while you're at it)

Can you try using the 'help 'Melborn' 1 to/or 4' to see his dialogues and/or get someone more versed in these things to help force the quest branch of the dialog to appear? perhaps through a mod?

Have you tried the movetoqt 'quest id' command?

Try the player.setrelationshiprank command before trying to set the quest stage or get his quest dialogue. (doubt it'll work, but hey, what else can you do?)

It the individual commands don't work, try a bat command with a .txt file containing all the usual commands needed to restore the quest.

if i get anymore ideas, i'll post them (in the new week).

edit, because i can: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4554

Wow, I have the same exact bug going on. Any fixes found? Its the strangest thing, I reDownloaded the game. Its not like I'm using the same files from a disc. All saves, all characters, mods and no mods this guy doesn't exists in my game. I want to do this quest and I'm worried that even with new characters i will never get to.

Any Idea's, or do I have to skip this quest? Does anyone have a save near this quest? It can't be my game because I redownloaded it. Thanks
