Dragonborn: Storn won't read the book and many other bugs.

[FlaffWaffle]

Dragonborn is bug-ridden and though I've found ways around many of the story-breaking bugs, I've been inable to figure out how to progress past this one without skipping a part of the questline. I've quicksaved just before talking to Storn about Hermaes Mora and every time I go back to the save and hand him the book, he walks a few feet out, talks to Fraea, then won't read the book. He simply stands there.

I've also found a bug with the magic elevator in the Telvanni Mage's house. It simply won't work. I activate it, it zooms out on my character, then nothing happens. I've been getting around this by turning off collisions, but it gets really buggy.

I have a problem with tameing sahrotaar, i have shout at him dozens of time but nothing happens.

Yep, Dragonborn is buggy. So was hearthfires... hearthfires irritated me to the point that I just deleted it.

Re these bugs: There's a mod to fix the Storn bug, but I wanted to post a discussion about it too, just to give kudos to the detective work that figured it out. See the second entry on this discussion: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/907000-gardener-of-men/ The mod that fixes this is linked to in the discussion.

The inability to ride the dragon can have a couple sources at least that I found when I had that bug... The following is just from my experience only, but offering it in case it helps: if the dragon takes off and you're left *standing,* it's probably from the FNI file described above. Delete it. If the dragon takes off and you're left *sitting,* the game is reading the old, "vanilla" dragon skeleton, which was changed by DB. 1st, try the DB patch and put it at the end of the load order. If that doesn't work, you need to find the file skeleton.nif (path is something like data/meshes/actors/dragon/skeleton.nif) and delete it.

Locklave: you're a complete idiot read comments, mods don't break skyrim because modders are more competent and intelligent hard working unpaid programmer's and Artists while as Bethesda just doesn't give a crap there cashing in on a lot of money now just from there name and gameplay they know they don't even have to be that good anymore and they let the player's fix there either lazy or incompetent work no i'm not Nice yes we all liked Bethesda but let's face the Facts here look at what they do honestly there is No excuse when you compare there work to that of the Players.

You're blind dude. Buggy mods will break Skyrim. Get this fact straight, Modders are not programmers and there is a world of difference between the two that you're ignorant about. The unfortunate thing is, modding things will cause other problems to crop up if they're not done correctly and it doesn't have a damn thing to do with programming.

I have found a solution to this bug. So at the point to where Storn will not read the book, if you're on PC. press ` for the console to open up and type "setstage DLC2MQ05 600" and he will open the book. Now type "setstage DLC2MQ05 700" and you will learn the last word to 'Bend Will' Shout.
Now type "setstage DLC2MQ05 800" and the quest will be completed and a new one starts.

On your new quest, it tells you to Read "Waking Dreams" which should be a book in your inventory that you just gave to Storn. Now continue your path on the Dragonborn DLC.

I wish you all the best of luck and hope it works for you.

If you go up to Frea and try to talk to her she will say "Be silent" and then she will walk to Storn and he will read the book

[sircallicott]

I lit Storn on fire and lo and behold after losing all of his health he got back up and read the book.

What's with the forum necromancy? Let old threads rest.

I would strongly recommend using USLEEP for legendary edition of the game. Bethesda is not going to fix any bugs from Skyrim, but Unofficial Patch Project Team has dealt with majority of notable bugs from main game and DLCs.

well If you do setstage DLC2MQ05 700 then do 750 to make the guy die you learn the last shout and if you do setstage DLC2MQ05 1000 you complete the quest so you can go onto the next quest.

Ayyo yo, what If I told you, you also just saved my life? Bc even with the unofficial SE patch and SSE itself, those lazy hacks at @ Beth didn't fix this stupid ass bug, you did though, cheers.
