Lappy aint happy :( No grizzly deaths yet, but something far worse...the borked game. After 3 hours Lexi made it to Falkreath for the Jarl's quest. This is the dialog that was available Spoiler: click to toggle Note that there is no fetch mead and of course you can't get the kill quest that follows. I have had this happen before when I loaded up an old save for a rerun, but never on a new run. Okay, I then totally kill this whole run, verify game files and start from scratch. This run there is no dragon breathing fire into Ulfric's room, but I went for it anyway. Hey, I'm optimistic if not very smart ;) I was worried about the Jarl's quest still being broken, but I didn't have to worry! I can't get out of Helgen now. The load screen to Skyrim from the Helgen dungeon leads to CTDs. Sigh. Any quick thoughts would be appreciated, whether here or we take it to the SSE forum. Edit: only mods are CoT and Better Maps, and I have had those for many runs. Nothing else has changed, and my Lexi tester was fine. Edited by Lapuaboy, Mar 17 2018, 12:28 AM.

Just wondering - Did you actually get the letter from the jarl? The lack of a dragon is a known bug, I'm pretty certain... I can't remember whether or not there is a cure... you might check the UESP wiki |

Volstag.... without Fast Travel, I think CoT if you use at least one of the darker settings.. outside or dungeons ( I'd suggest outside) then that would offset the extra vendors.. cause really you can't FT to one, sell most of the stuff.. when they run outa money FT to another..etc and so on.. you can run from one to another, but you have to face the dangers along the way. So it's not that much of an advantage.. now if FT was allowed, then yes it would be a huge advantage. At least that's the way I see it. |

Lap, did you have any radiant-location quests uncompleted when you went to talk to Slimy Siddy? Any of those will bork all the Jarl quests. |

Sere, Didn't know that! I had a "Trouble in Skyrim" for the companions open in addition to return Anders amulet and BFB. I seem to have a good game going now on my forth restart :huh: I was so pumped up to get going in this comp that when these things happen it sort of sucks the mojo out of you a bit! Lexi so far Spoiler: click to toggle At level 7 she will start building Lakeview tonight! I'm hoping for no more borkage! :D |

YAY!! It's easy to miss something that's truly a radiant quest. But that's the first thing to research when the Jarls won't talk to you! |

That's like a trademark Bethesda bug at this point. There is a similar one in Fallout 4 that I found a while back. If you back out of a quest related conversation with an NPC, it screws up conversations with others and you have to back track to find the open convo. Instead of the option not being there, the affected NPC won't even engage a conversation. |

Also, with the Jarl of Falkreath, I think you need to actually read the letter in order to set the dialog properly. |

Well, thing is, apparently you can go talk to Slimy Siddy at level 3 or so and get the opener (the Black Briar mead) without a letter - so well before level 9 when the letter shows up. And once you've given him the mead, you then get the "kill the bandits I've been playing footsie with" follow-on, which will lead to the requisite "Is there anything else you need" option. But that also will not trigger if you have another radiant quest sitting uncompleted in your quest log. |

That is the way I generally do the quest.. that way I can get the house as soon as my character can come up with the gold.. which isn't hard smithing jewelry.. |

Lately I've taken to doing Thaneships before I do much of anything else - so I don't have to go digging to see what I may have picked up on the way that turns out to be radiant! |

Yeah, there's actually a bottle of that mead in the Helgen cave, next to the cart near the sleeping bear, so it's possible to be ready for Sid right out of the tutorial dungeon. :) |

True. But I do not EVER do that vanilla start - period. |

The priest in Falkreath has a bottle also, you can get it by stealing it or do his quest and get it free |

I always take the mead by the cart... but I never realized there was anything special about it, so it always gets drank or sold... |
