Oghma Infinium Weird Bug

[Sparky862]

So i got this weird bug where i take the blood mixture to septimus, he mixes the blood and opens the cube. He runs to the book and dies, i then get a quest telling me to pick up the book, so i pick up the book and nothing happens?? Hermanus Moria doesnt appear as he always did and my quest is stuck where it tells me to pick up the book which i already have done??

Any console commands to work around this and to get the book working??

[Roscaria]

Have you opened the book to read it?

[Sparky862]

yes, when you pick up the book, the game makes you first open it, then while it is open i should take it...

[Roscaria]

You should have the choice to close the book without reading it which gives you no benefits or reading the book and getting a choice of three paths to follow.

[Sparky862]

nothing happens, my quest is stuck at "take the book" and the arrow pointer is stuck where it points at the pedestal where the book use to lie down?? i can read the book and nothing happens cause the quest marker is stuck at "take the book" with the arrow pointing on the pedestal.....so now im looking for a console command to just get past that stage of quest so the hermanus moria can just appear

[Trigger]

Mora shows up on your way out, have you tried to leave yet.

[Sparky862]

yes, i have tried to leave, i just exit to skyrim with the quest stuck at "take the book"

[Roscaria]

Well I suppose you coudd try replacing the book back on the pedastal, exiting to Skyrim and then returning to pick up the book again.

[Sparky862]

lol, how am i gonna replace it back if i have it?? for that i need to load a previous save which still gives me the same problem

[ZarahNeander]

If reloading doesnt help, you might try console: setstage DA04 100

[Roscaria]

No you don't. Just drop the book. Put the cursor on it, press and hold down the E key. This sort of 'attaches' the book to your cursor. It will be a bit fiddly and when you release the E key it will drop the book.. Hopefully on the pedestal. (NB: This is a fun way to get rid of bodies, try dropping them off a cliff)

[Sparky862]

well, my whole game seems to be broken here?? Every single word wall i encountered, have no words on them. I can here the chimes and everything, and see the glow and stuff but there is no word to learn, no matter the word wall. Also, i went to one of the word walls where i know a dragon priest mask is, he just never came out of his grave. The grave remains shut, and i cannot read the word wall. So yeah, my game is broken

by the way, lollipop, That console worked for me, thanx
