"dampened spirits" not starting

[Ignigknawt]

Went back to Brynjolf after the Goldenglow job and he gave me the dialogue about Maven wanting to see me, but the game hasn't given me the prompt to talk to her (trying to talk to her just brings up her regular dialogue). I also tried talking to Mercer and Brynjolf but they just spout ambient dialogue. I then tried to use console commands but it acts as if I'm not even in the TG. Seriously, what gives? I thought this was fixed in Oldrim, so why is it broken in SE?

Mods? And you've probably definitely broken it using the command prompt. Hope you have a save from before that.

Post a list of your mods as I've done the whole TG quest line and didn't have any problems with any of it. So it must be a mod for which your using that messed it up.

That third bullet is the one I'm getting. I tried the console command but it didn't work.

I noticed this thread comes up to the top when googling about this issue. Thanks to this page: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_talk:Dampened_Spirits I managed to fix it.

If you have killed Eimar before (because he sent those mercs after you for some reason), resurrect him with the commands. Then type "startquest tg03" and then "setstage tg03 10" and you will be told to speak to Maven like normally.

Mind you that if you decide to skip this mission entirely, Mallus will not be a fence and he just keeps telling you to speak to the original owner of the meadery and I have no clue how to make him the fence if you do decide to skip this mission, which wiki and other places seem to suggest as the only fix for this issue.

I reckon this works for the original 2011 Skyrim as well.
