So I recruited three stooges to join the Blades and Esbern gives the task of killing the dragon at Shearpoint. Now, I have killed a dragon there before, as well as they dragon priest there. So I get there to kill it again its not there. I've googled this and I keep seeing people say wait a few days, so I waited a month and a half; the dragon still does not spawn.

I had the same problem with another dragon bounty at Mount Anybody as well as a bandit boss bounty at Valtheim Keep. I was able to get those quests out my log by using the console's "setstage" commands. I cant find the quest id for this one though, any help?

In any case, this highlights an even larger problem: non respawning mobs. None kc the dragons at their respective altars respawn (even though the chests and containers do). I can wait a month and go back and there are no mobs. This svcks, any help would be appreciated.

Bump, help please?

Okay then...thanks.

i have similar bugs, though they are Jarl's bounty quest.

guess we have to wait for next patch, or mod to fix it.

My understanding is the Blades Esbern questline is still locked. I'm on my 4rth toone. Sofar the most I could push it with help from the console was to the point I would drink a potion given to me by Esbern. Hopefuly a Modder at some point will pickup what Bethesda dropped. Would like to see the end of Blades quest line. But sofar nothing yet.

If you havent done this yet. Travel to every town and use a dragon shout. Careful not to hurt anyone. You should see dragons spawning all over after a few days rest.

Thanks guys. Pudd I'll give that a try right now.

Tried your suggestion Pudd and just to be safe, waited 15 days inside Whiterun afterwards. Still no dragon at Shearpoint.

Sorry to hear that. Ive read a few post on dragons not spawning. Havent read any fix for it. If I come across any info i'l post it here.
