I killed Ri'saad, need help for Saints and Seducers quests

[LoHobbit98]

During my gameplay i killed Ri'Saad, now i have bought the update. I started balance of power (watching on youtube bandit camps position), i completed "restoring order" killing theron in solitude sewers. Now to complete balance of power quest i need to speak to Ri'saad and this is the problem....there is a way, even using the console, to complete this quest? thanks for help

No! Since Ri'saad is part of the quest, he is in his quest alias, and there is no way to correct this!

It's a bad idea to kill essential NPCs. The only way would be to use he console to advance the quest, you'll have to find the quest id# on your own. That might also have unforeseen consequences.

Gonna be honest the Saints and Seducer's quest expansion is way better than the original CC Mod. It also cuts out Ri'Saad's involvement.

Ri-saad is an essential character. So he cannot be killed unless you used mods or console commands.

[Altbert]

The quest ID is ccBGSSSE025_QuestA. You will have to go through the quest stages one by one. You can use 'sqs ccBGSSSE025_QuestA' to see which stages have been set. Skip stage 0, which probably already has been set. Then carefully set the next stage by using

setstage ccBGSSSE025_QuestA #

where # is the stagenumber. If it doesn't work, set the next stage. Never use the completequest command, as it may leave actors in their quest alias indefinitely.

It's a very solid and short reimagining, but sometimes I miss how there's no prerequisites beyond being badass enough to survive Thoron. And the Saints and Seducers gear is decent earlygame in a Vanilla game but worthless in ECSS because of the level 20 requirement. And you can't get Jiggleleg's Sword without mods in ECSS because Plot.

Ultimately minor quibbles though.

Also maybe don't kill Essential NPCs before you do their related quests next time, OP.

In general if you can't reload an earlier save it's bugged as said you can try a console command, but it could make things worse.

I solved the problem using the console as Altbert said! I was just missing the last stage of the mission. I also completed all the miscellaneous quests. Thank you Altbert!

[Altbert]

Glad it worked. It is usually not recommended to use the console to solve quest issues, In this case the quest was linear where quest stages are concerned, but that will not always be the case. Always be careful, check the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages, the Creation Kit and/or SSEEdit about how and when quest stages are set or not!

If you accidentally kill an NPC and the body is still there. Use the console command.

Never use a console command in these occasions, unless you really know what you are doing. The wrong console commands can do more harm than solve the issues!
