Problem with Irileth, Dragon Rising won't start

[tralalero tralala]

So I ended up conversation with Farengar, gave him a dragon stone and just left to explore, thinking i'd continue the main quest later. After few hours of doing quests I've decided to head back. I tried talking to Balgruuf, but there's no more dialogue options, Delphine just stands there huddled over Farrengar's desk doing nothing and the jarl is looking at a map of Skyrim on the 2nd floor. None of them ever move (they don't rest etc). Irileth is invisible next to the jarls throne (at least thats where moveto moves me). What should I do?

I even forced the quest through the console by enabling Irileth and running few commands. Even though Irileth started running and quest popped up, and she talked to herself at the gate, she doesn't acknowledge the fact that we're in the right place (marked place near the tower) and hurries me up. Even though i've got save before visiting Bleak Falls Barrow I don't want to lose precious hours of my life exploring the same♥♥♥♥♥♥over and over. Help, please.

In a situation that fubar it is best to go back even if you lose those hours. Even if you get the quest to complete there may linger hidden issues that will appear later. Save yourself future frustration and go back.

I think I'd prefer to force it now, because I'm frustrated enough thinking about re-doing all this stuff.

I'd suggest reload a previous save.
Never leave scripted Dialogue and go off adventuring. Unless you want to fubar your whole game.
You'll be inviting constant crashes or the game characters not reacting at all.
Of course it's your game to do with as you please

Apparently i've replayed the quest, and still, conversation with Farengar end's with him talking about his associate's unknown source, and that's it. Irileth is still missing. Am i supposed to redo the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game? ;x

[tralalero tralala]

OH ♥♥♥♥
I'VE JUST PERFORMED SOME ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BLACK MAGIC, AND THE SCRIPT WORKED PROPERLY

[tralalero tralala]

nevermind, i used some console commands but in the end it didn't worked, i had to reload the save and by doing it i lost a dozen of quests

I may have found a solution for those who can't find Irileth.



Are any of you running a mod called "Not so fast - Main quest"?



https://www.nexusmod...ition/mods/2475



If you read a little ways down in the description it says the following:



Breezehome is available for purchase immediately after giving Farengar the tablet from Bleak Falls Barrow and Ireleth does immediately not appear to introduce the first dragon sighting.
One week after giving Farengar the tablet the journal entry "I wonder if Farengar has made any progress on his Dragon research." will appear. Ireleth's scene about the first dragon sighting will start the next time the player visits Farengar.



I hope this helps out.

Okay, i had this same issue and tried ALL the different solutions provided in varios forums but none worked. Turns out it was an issue with me killing 2 of the jarl's kids (apparently). I loaded a previous save before giving the dragonstone to the mage and resurrected both kids, then went out of dragonsreach and enabled Ilireth "prid 1a67f" then "enable" and "moveto player". After that i entered Dragonreach again, gave the Dragonstone to the mage and Dragon Rising quest started right up.

Savageone thanks for this advice! I installed Not so Fast many months ago along with more than 200 other mods and forgot all about it...

I spent 3 days of messing around with mods, loading saved games and trying to reset quests but I still couldn't get any response from Balgruuf other than a terse 'Not Now!' and Irileth was nowhere to be seen.

After seeing your blog, I sat in Darogonreach and used the wait function to force a week past in about 2 mins. After one week exactly the Dragon Rising quest began spontaneously, Irileth appeared and the Jarl was sending me off dragon slaying:-)

This is the one. You are a scholar and a gentlemen.
