He's essential (i.e, can't be killed AT ALL), so unless you did something that changed that, he might have gotten lost or is probably just taking his time. As it says in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "Don't Panic".

Ehh there is commands for that, but I suggest you go and find him.
And for your own sanity MAKE new saves dont overwrite.

To long? you have hardly started the game.
He will walk from Riften to Riverwood. He is immortal, it can take up to 3 days for him.

If you talked to him you can go to sky haven temple and skip riverwood he doesnt have to be with you aslong as you talked to him both noobs will be there when you arrive.

Esburn gets stuck in the ratways if hes not behind you when you leave, you may have to go back for him to catch up. or just go to skyhaven temple

I know this is old, but yep, for me he is in a dead/alive state, floating in water like a dead body, it says I can talk to him and damage him, but he just floats in the water dead

Oh, I used the voice to push him into solid floor and he just wakes up his lethargic state, perhaps this advice works for someone

The root of all your problems seems to be impatience.
I would recommend taking your time and not rushing all the time.

I don't think it matters ~7 years later and based on their "recent" game activity, they haven't even been on in the last year.
