Septimus glitch

[loxoceles]

I acquired the blood Septimus needed and he entered the Cube. Then he just stands there.
I can't access the book and he is frozen in place. i left. Came back after a few adventures and he is pacing, The cube is closed and I cannot talk to Septimus "This person is busy" is the response I get when I try to initiate some dialogue. ?????
How do I get the Oghma?

I have the same problem - exactly as you described. I think they made a change for the Dragonborn patch, but it's glitched.

same problem, the cube closed help

I had a similiar issue with that part. I can't recall how I fixed it exactly, but from what I do remember, I had to reload a previous save and try it multiple times until the bug didn't happen.

Save your game before speaking to him so you can reload it as needed.

I think the bug happened while he was reading the book, the script would sometimes either cause him to be killed before finishing the sequence which would cause the quest to get stuck or Septimus would just get stuck.

You can also try teleporting Septimus around the area and see if it triggers something.

I use tcl command and boom, problem resolved

kill him it will solve the problem

Use the tilde ( ~ ) key for console command and then type tcl to clip through the wall towards Septimus. Once you're close and not touching any objects, press the tilde key and type tcl again. Kill Septimus. This progressed the quest. The reason this bug happened to me is because I said no to Herma Mora. Not sure if the same thing happened to others but this solved my issue with the bug.
