The Gunmar Glitch !

[bableed]

I have seached for this guy to complete one of the Dawnguard quests. I know I am not the only one as I have been to so many sites and only 2 people have found him. Starting over would be a pain but this Quest series has caused my to loss my marriage partner. He seems to be in the netherworld. I did leave him by the boat when I took the princess to the castle. unfortunately I was banished when I refused too become a vampire. For a second I noticed his outline as I was returned outside and he was not at the boat or anywhere. For over a week I have searched for him and Gunmar and it is getting rather tedious and boring. Need advice please. Should I go back before I joined the Dawnguard and start or from there ? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

There is a quest marker for Gunmar, but his location is random between available options. If he is not in Skyrim, then he is likely in Solstheim.

You should not have had Gunmar while escorting Serana home. Did you use some Console commands to get him?

Gunmar only becomes available AFTER escorting Serana home.

Yea you need to restart the questline by rolling back some saves. Since as Doc did say Gunmar is not in the game before you have med Serana the second time at the castle.

Did you mess whit the console?

You're confusing Gunmar with the "marriage partner". bableed indicated that they're not the same NPC.

You are correct. I was confused by the syntax of the OP. I am still confused in fact.

Thank you all for your help. I am afraid my problem was poorly worded. I started off asking about Gunmar out of frustration.
The quest to escort Serena home was finished when I got the Gunmar quest.

I lost my husband when I was banished from the castle, after refusing to become a vampire. I noticed a slight shadow of him as I dissapeared. When I went back to the boat, where I left him, he was gone. Anyone, who had that problem and know how to correct it let me know. Hope this clears up the confusion.

I guess thats why my name is Bablee, LOL

Thanks again all.

To bring characters to you, save first, then in console enter:

prid <targetRefID>
moveto player

Or, if you actually want to know where the characters were hiding, move yourself to them:

player.moveto <targetRefID>

To get your target's refID, look them up on UESP. For example, with Gunmer:

http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Gunmar

... we can see his refID is xx003477, where the "xx"s are Dawnguard's formID. You can get the formID by using the console to select any other item / character / whatever from that plugin - for example, Serana is also from Dawnguard, so if you select her and see eg 02 as the first two characters of her reference code (it might be something else, so check!), then that's the same formID you'd use for Gunmer.

That makes sense @Bableed

Thanks again everyone for responding. I still have much to learn about this game so I will probably be asking a lot of questions. For instance I am playing on a PC and the few times I tried to use the console, it didn't work. I hope I won't be a bother but I am so happy to have found this forum.

Thanks :)

Hi bableed! We're always here, so feel free to ask any questions you may have. As to using the console, if at all possible, you should try to avoid using it,

"If you don't know what you're doing, using console commands can cause your game to malfunction! Executing the wrong command can cause your game to stop working normally; furthermore, you may not become aware of such malfunctions right away, and you may not be able to trace their cause. They can cause problems like making quests impossible to complete, altering your game's display, all kinds of game behaviors, your ability to play your character, and your ability to play the game at all. Solutions are not always easy, and may involve losing saved games or reinstalling your game.
Create a permanent saved game before using the console. (This mitigates only some kinds of risks.) If you need to use the console to fix a glitch, try to use the least powerful command possible.
