The Man who Cried Wolf Bug!!!

[SYN]

I was in the winking skeever when i asked the bartender about some rumors and he told me about a guy asking the jarl for help up in the blue palace so i went there to see if i could help out but the guy isn't even there i waited fr three days i even slept for another three and finished all my miscellaneous quests but nada, is there anyway to fix this???

[di eshor ribly]

The guy talking to the Jarl in question is not the guy you get the quest from. He just shows up in the throne room to complain before being sent home. Try talking to Falk Firebeard.

I did there isn't any dialouge option for it

If you have a save from just before you entered the Winking Skeever you can bypass the inn and go directly to the palace (depending on the time of day) and the man should begin his audience with the queen. After the man leaves speak to Falk Firebeard, the dialogue option should now be there.

go back to the save when you entered winking skeever or before you enter. talk to inn skeever guy then rush to the palace - you don't wait. Usually there'll be a court "hearring" when you entered at any time in a Skyrim day.

You don't have to rush to do anything. You don't even have to speak to innkeeper. You can go to Solitude, look around, do a quest, leave, come back another day.

The court hearing only starts when you visit the Blue Palace for the first time. Walk up to Falk and speak to him. He should say 'Please don't interupt the court'

Wait for the guy to enter and star a convo. When that is over you should of heard it was about the cave.

Now speak again to Falk. You will get the dialogue.

For ones who still can't figure out this quest, The bug happens if you don't listen to the dialogue and it can be really annoying to have to deal with, so you might wanna use a console command, even though you don't wanna cheat, if its a bug you should have the right to. just press the console button and type in: "Setstage MS06Start 15" to get going, it will register as if the convo in blue palace has happened and you can now talk to falk about it, if this doesn't work try "Getstage MS06" instead.

Thank you Wolfmane, that actually helped. I finally got it to work thanks to you, I even started many new games to try to see if that worked, but it didn't. You actually helped me a lot, so thank you and to all of you who answered and tried to help. :3 :3

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. You fixed a massive roadblock in my playthrough, something even a unofficial patch couldn't do. I searched half the internet and tried everything from reloading, aggroing everyone, reseting the area, up to going to the Winking Skewer before talking to the Falk. Turns out once you miss the first dialogue you are screwd and nothing else works. This command is only thing that started the quest.
