Esbern won't continue quest

Post » Wed May 30, 2012 6:51 am

Hi,

So I have been having an issue with Esbern in the "A Cornered Rat" quest.

I've looked at all of the topics on this issue I could find but my issue seems to be slightly different.

I had no issues getting the door to open, and he always had his voice. However, I still used the BSA Unpacker in administrator mode and extracted the "Skyrim - Voicesixtra.bsa" file into my Data folder which is located in Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\sound\voice\skyrim.esm\maleuniqueesbern " folder as I use Steam.

I also tried multiple times erasing the Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini located in my "Documents\My Games\Skyrim" folder.

The issue I am having is that Esbern will not pop up any options for my quest

All he will say is "Come in come in." and other stuff like that, without ever popping up a dialogue window that lets me choose any options.
I tried spamming the "E" button too but he still won't let me choose anything.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I am stuck and quite a few hours into the game.

Not to shamelessly bump this... but I really can't continue on with the main quest without figuring this out...

Just make sure you read the directions.

I know you said you did the BSA unpacker etc.but I don't think you did it correctly.

Did you talk to Delphine about Esbern before you found Esbern and is it related to the quest for that dialog option to even appear?

Also if Esbern doesn't follow you beyond Riften and runs back like he did for me, just Fast travel back to Riverwood and he will be there.

I'll try the BSA unpacker again, even though I'm pretty sure I did it correctly and I did it multiple times already.

And, yes, I talked to Delphine before Esbern. Esbern asks me what I want and I tell him that Delphine told me about him and then he lets me in the door. Once inside the door, no dialog for the quest triggers though and I am just stuck.

Do you have a save from before you started this quest stage? Loading that may clear the glitch.

That link doesn't seem to work.
