Help: Brynjolf won't talk to me and just keeps saying "Hmm?"

[kzi. | castaway.tf]

At first, I didn't want to do the Thieves' Guild questline as I had other things to do, but later on when I decided to do it, he's not in his little booth anymore and just walking around while refusing to talk to me other than saying "Hmm?"

I did that too, but that doesn't seem to fix the issue.

Did you ever use any console commands on him? Resurrect in particular - that would cause him to break, since the game would have him recorded s dead, and the resurrected version would not have any of his dialogue or AI packages. Only fix for that is to reload a save before the command was used.

Though, reloading an earlier save would seem to be the best thing for you to do here, regardless. Either that, or just leave the Thieves' Guild questline for another playthrough.

Aw, hell. I thought there's another way to fix this other than reloading a previous save or starting over since I've got quite good stuff, and no commands are used on him or other NPCs.

I would say just leave the Thieves Guild for another time - there is so much more to do, so why lose everything for what is really a side questline?
