Ralof stuck in helgan keep cave? really?

[Spacecat]

just downloaded the new version, started it up, made a new character, watched the same intro i have a billion times and got to the point where you pull the lever to lower the bridge in the tutorial cave. Ralof is the person i chose to enter the cave with and after he crosses the bridge he just stops in one spot and wont follow me or move, i wen't outside of the cave thinking he would spawn and alduin would show up but no, just the question arrow in his spot and no dragon.

i thought they fixed all of these issues with "remastering" the game?

any information would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

Let Ralof pull the lever.

Bethesda did no bug fixing, they just upgraded the games engine and made it look a little better.

It's why Bethesda has the nickname Bugthesda. When it comes to bug fixing or just updated there games they suck.

Fallout 3 GOTY came out literally 9 days before Windows 7 was released to the general public. That game got 0 updates to have it work on windows 7 needed like 3 player made patches/mods just to stop it crashing crashing every 10 minutes.

It's not a remaster, it's a SPECIAL EDITION!

There's a difference and yet most people always assume that they "dug deep into the files and fixed bugs - even bugs, which never existed in the first place and are the product of mods."

There once was a rule called "Never use mods until you reached the fresh air of Skyrim after Helfen." It still applies now, because the start relies on too many scripts and whatnot ...

well i have to let him pull the lever, otherwise he gets stuck, i just can't beleive thats still in the "special edition"

i play music, mostly covers, but if/when i do make a song i usually am constantly changing it because it bugs the crap out of me if something is off, i couldn't imagine making a video game and having some annoying bug like that in it and just letting it go, especially if it was making me millions of dollars to boot! lol

I always pull the lever, and if he gets stuck, I leave him there. I usually leave him behind anyway, when I open the gate with the key I took from the dead Imperial Captain. I'm leaving the torture chamber just as he's asking "Was Jarl Ulfric with you?".

He warps to me at the bridge room while I'm wiping out the Imperials.

Then I leave him to look at the collapsed ceiling and broken bridge, and wipe out the spiders and the bear while he's still looking at a dead end tunnel.

I've gotten outside without him, but the quest usually updates with "go to Riverwood", and Alduin zipping by overhead.

Either way, Fast Travel away from there and it should update. If it doesn't it's no big deal. Proceed as normal doing whatever you would normally do - go talk to the Jarl, go get the Dragonstone, go to bed, whatever. Eventually things will catch up.
