Brynjolf Bug [SOLVED]

[Snooberry]

I have seen similar problems to mine but none exactly the same, and noe of the solutions worked. Here it is:

I have played through the Thieves Guild quest-line, completing "A Chance Arrangement" and "Taking Care of Business" without trouble. Then when I finish talking to Brynjolf about joining, and he is supposed to introduce me to Mercer Frey, he walks off to the cistern, and I don't get the next quest. Every time I talk to him, he says "Hmmm?" and when I follow him into the Cistern everybody attacks me. I haven't been to any of the Ragged Flagon locations previously.
This is very frustrating as I am playing as a thief player and my whole intention was to join the Thieves guild right away.

I finally finished it, but I had to console command my way through it. To set the objective completed to talk to Brynjolf, first do:
setobjectivecompleted tg02 10
setstage tg02 15
setstage tg02 20
setobjectivecompleted tg02 20 0 (or 20: 0 i forget)
setstage tg02 30
setobjectivecompleted tg02 30 (or 30: 0)
just keep going until you have to talk to Brynjolf again, and then it should pick up normally, at least it did for me. List of target ID's here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Loud_and_Clear

I have found a way that I think fixes the tg02 mission start bug. Before starting the quest "Taking care of busines" (tg01), complete the miscellaneuos quest "Talk to Brynjolf about joining Thieves guild". This is a prerequisite of tg02, but is somehow not for tg01.

i would just like to start by saying thankyou +PRI3ST+ as I was having this problem and your idea to remove 7k whiterun was the solution for me. My advise to anyone who doesn't have this mod installed but is still getting these problems would be to remove any city mods or if not that disable all mods when starting this quest.

or if you do setstageTG02B 10, do the objectives (and if nothing happens to further the questline), then do setstage TG03 0, it should start the third quest normally, you'll be in the faction so they won't attack you, and you still get the armor and all the side missions

(I know this was already solved but my way seems easier so if anyone else runs into the bug here is an easy solution that works)

tg02b worked for me thanks bud you fulking kick ass

[Cdr. Amora Shepard]

The issue I've noticed is that for some reason, unless I manually start Dampened Spirits, Taking Care of Buisness just ends the quest line there and entering the Cistern will make one of the members rush me and start attacking me. This is literally right near the begining of the game after use of an alternate start mod on the Workshop.

when i started the "Loud and Clear" quest Brynjolf says something like its not far from here. and he just wanders the Flagon and NEVER LEADS ME. Has this happened to anyone else? and if so how do i fix it?

[Kamikazi Watermelon183]

I have too many mods to even bother trying to mess with 99% of them are just weapons and armor to craft and a few followers nothing else and I can't think of why that would cause a problem, the annoying thing is I did what I was asked by planting the ring in the guys pocket and have since saved and done a ♥♥♥♥ load.

[Qayn]

This is far from solved, anyone know a fix yet? I tried all of these, didn't work.

[sherlocksun]

guys the same bug occurred to me and after hours-long checking I found out that the mod named "Abyss Walker Armor" can cause the problem. Hope this can help any of you.

[Wrath of the LoneWolf]

If using Mines of Moria mod disable it. Then loud and clear will work.

[Clovis Sangrail]

Thieves Guild quests work fine for me, but then, I didn't jack things up with a bunch of messed up mods.

[HenoBoy]

I know this thread is old but if anyone stumbles across this thread. The "Immersive High Hrothgar Elevator" mod was what stopped the Loud and Clear quest from starting for me. Hope this helps someone
