Don't open the barn in the second map you will bug your game

[Bastell]

Title says it all - you cant continue the main quest if you explore before you quest and open the barn near the zone in entrance. They will need to patch this. I cannot get him to spawn - tried closing the door and reloading and nope can't do a thing. I have posted also in technical to request them to patch it.

Quest stage is:

The Animancy Method.

Trying to complete the B stage - Put down Silvo the Revenant.

Bug is Silvo is not spawning at all.

I suspect that I broke the quest as I went here (the barn) before I got the quest and opened the barn door - this was 6 hours ago. I finally tackled the main quest and he is not spawning in the barn as the barn is open.

Can you please sort this out - thanks.

I also went in there and killed him before getting the actual quest, though when picking up the quest it flagged properly and I was able to tell the quest giver that I actually already did that.
So not a 100% thing, but still worth a look by the dev team.

Mine wasnt spawned at all when I explored. Also failed to spawn when I got the quest.

So he wasn't in the barn the first time? I killed him before getting the quest (twice actually) and the quest still worked fine

I'm having the same problem, Silvo isn't spawning and him soft locked from finishing this quest

[Bastell]

Ive logged it directly on Obsidian's website and emailed and had a response already - uploaded my game files and now we wait for the patch and also found the same bug in a side quest. I have confidence they will sort it.

Didn't cause any issues for me. There was a dialogue option that mentioned I had already taken care of the task, and I was able to proceed.

Thank You Bastell, you made a good thing. And thank You for the warning.

Yeah, same here. I wonder if he was there when the OP originally opened the barn - problem may not be the quest so much as he's not spawning to begin with.
I did read the note mentioning he was a problem before going to the barn though, not sure if that might affect it.

Thank you for warning, @Bastell!

Same exact thing happened to me. I'm stuck until they patch this. I don't even think I opened the barn door. But no matter what I do or how old of a save I load, Silvo will not spawn inside the barn. Really hope this gets patched soon b/c I can't continue until it is.

I think the last patch fixed that.

Personally it didn't. I'm still locked and my play-through bricked at the moment :(

[Bastell]

There is no patch yet - its also happening with another side quest with similar issues - a mob needed to spawn and if you pre-killed the ranger or went there, it is not spawning later when you need the badge off him to finish the side quest.

Give Oblivion time they will sort it. I have logged it with technical support 3 days ago. Give them some time to patch it.

i killed him long before i got the quest, and when i got to the point where i was supposed to kill him there was an option to say 'i already did' which completed the quest
