Has my main quest glitched? (spoilers)

[cogvos]

Hi,

My main quest seems to have stalled, in that the Profit is just telling me that 'they have to work things out a bit to find Sai Saharn' .

I am level 50 cp 30, have rescued that idiot wizard Abnur Tharn, Lyris Titanborn and know who the Profit is - also have Sir Cadwell in the harbourage (as well as a load of other places - sigh )

I've also gone through the quest line to get to the Hollow City in Coldharbour however have yet to do any quests there.

But am no nearer finding Sai

So has my main quest stalled, or what do I need to do to progress it? I thought it ran on toon level - like the mages guild Sheogorath quests , but right now it looks stuck.

There is a thing that I'm aware of that can stall the main quest.

At the beginning of the game you may have got a message from someone telling you that Abnar Tharn requests your help (this is before you even rescue him). If this quest is still hanging around your to do list then abandon it.

Once you do, you should get a banelin approaching you to meet Abnar Tharn at the mages guild and the main quest is back on.

Otherwise the only thing I can think of is to go into the map, open zone guide and click on continue main quest. It may then give you a map marking as to where to go next.

Thanks, I have 4 Prologue quests - which I assumed were leadins to DLC, one is the Demon Weapon which I picked up when Tharn was locked up in Coldharbour - so how is he in Daggerfall and in Elsewere devs?? and ignored it thinking it a glitch. Is this that '1st' quest?

I 'dknow just fell over Raz again, who is currently in 3 places at once and he isn't an idiot wizard .

Yes, abandon that one and the main story will continue.

Don't forget this is an MMO that has been added to over periods of time so it's really difficult to play the game chronologically. I can find out for you the best order to play it so you don't get so many of these Back to the Future moments if you're interested. I know someone has done one.

Here is the order of storylines to give you the least space/time disruption. You need to do/skip the tutorial of where you start and then go straight to a wayshrine to the starter area of your alliance. The link explains it all

Many thanks for the info and link - looks like I've done the Daggerfall quests all out of sequence which explains some of the confusion. Why the devs couldn't have spent a bit more time adding some conditions to the quest lines (like if player has done this do one thing, else do something else) is beyond me.

I think it's because this game has been added to since 2014 so it's probably not catering to the people who joined six years later and have to catch up :D

Okay.... Dropping the prologue Demon Weapon quest did not fix the issue. However completing it and dropping the next quest in that line, going to the Harbourage and then to the gates of Daggerfall did! What a mess.

Glad you got there in the end. Remember what you did. Somebody else may need to know one day :)
