Initial quest bug - Cant inform Balgruuf about Riverwood

[Curio]

Once I enter Dragonsreach, the Balgruuf (Jarl of Whiterun) and his steward talk.
As I finished this questline once already (and going for a replay), I expected Irileth to approach me and start that quick conversation of why I interrupt.
However, this time (and I have installed some GEMS mods after going through STEP, google it), she just approaches me and says that one line "What's the meaning of this interruption..." just like guards greet you when you get closer, and continues to follow me around saying this exact line over and over again without actually starting a conversation so I can continue the quest.
I tried talking to her, but she just greets me again like a guard.
I tried talking to the Jarl himself, but he just doesnt allow me to continue the quest normally.

Has anyone encountered this? how can I fix it and continue on with the game?

[Curio]

Nevermind, this question doesn't matter anymore as I fixed it.

For anyone out there who might experience this issue at some later time.
I simply did the following command:

setstage MQ102 110

this automatically passed the stage of talking to both Irileth and Balgruuf, putting the situation where the Jarl would talk with the steward and Irileth, everything went smoothly after that.

Just question about your question(not that it realy matter). Why you are saying if you can continuing with game you can't finish? You think if this was not fixed you can't continuing with skyrim?

Not that any of you even listend(well majority not all hehe) but Skyrim is open game and total freedom it don't matter if you can't finish the main quest or not, your free to do whatever you wanne do there are plenty of adventures out there and don't matter which one you start with or finish you can leave quest and do something else and finish it later.

Offcause it's nice if you can finish main quest but there is so much more to this game then only follow main quest.

Only thing about the main quest is that you first time encounter the dragon so you have at least dragons in the game after that you can leave main quest and finish it later or finish it straight away and then continuing with rest.

There is so much more to discover and explore in Skyrim then go for main quest and say i finish the game. Its not like most other RPG'S where the game tells you to go and follow path SKYRIM is total opposite of those games.

This was not a lecture or saying what you should do what i say, only a reminder of what Skyrim as game is.

If most think main quest is only thing that matters and finish game go ahead have fun but there is so much more to this game then main quest not to mention the MODS which even give this game alot more to enjoy.

Have fun with skyrim ignore my reply if you think it's nonsens don't matter to me much eather:D

Original topic was from 2012.

First it gets necroposted and then a completely offtopic lecture that could (or rahter should) have been it's own post entirely.

2016 here. DarkStarClassic has a point. Why play an archer assassin if you are not going to put points into pickpocket too because being a thief is not just about killing it is also about sneaking and stealing so if it is not consistent then fantasy is not important to you, so don't play skyrim
