Fellglow Keep Glitch

[Xann Black]

I'm currently trying to do the "Hitting the Books" quest, but there is something wrong with Fellglow Keep. The rocks that are supposed to collapse and block the way AFTER the quest were already there, so I used the console to no-clip past them, but when I get to where the door to the Ritual Chamber is supposed to be, there's just a blank hole that drops me through the level and back to the first room of the Keep. Has anyone had this happen, and do you have any suggestions? I've already reloaded a save from before I ever entered the Keep and played back to thsi point, and it is still happening.

Reinstall the game

Tried that; no dice. I finally got fed up and just used the console to put the books in my inventory and advance the quest to the next stage.

Xann Black .... I started a new game and the boulders are also blocking my way .. not only at fellglow keep but also their is a sheet of ice where you drop down into wolfskull cave to clear it out. Both are sealed off. I deleted everything ... reinstalled and still not working. I am fairly new to computer gaming .. can u share how to get to and install the console commands to complete these ... thank you.

The console is built into the PC version already. Just hit the ~ while you have the game running. The wiki has exceptional breakdowns of how to use each commond. Basically, I had to use the console to generate the three books needed to complete the quest without ever going into that part of the keep. Unfortunately, just having the items didn't trigger the next part of the quest, so I then had to manually tell the game to progress the quest to the next objective.

My suggestion is to read up on the console, then write down whatever commands, item codes, and quest codes you need in order to get to the next step. Note that I only used this to complete Fellglow, and have no idea if your problem with Wolfskull could be solved the same way. Also, I never actually got to go to the Ritual Chamber, or face the boss there, so this is only suggested as a last-ditch solution in order to progress the College of Winterhold story.

A word of caution: The console is a powerful tool, but using it incorrectly can decimate the game's code, causing glitches that you may not even realize until hours later. Always keep some saves handy from before you use it.

Thank You very much for your words of wisdom and caution ... This must be a steam issue .. I cannot install from my Skyrim Legendary disk without steam updating and downloading ... kind of a bugger .. but I will be cautious.
