The Word of the Dead Help

[Samrika]

Hi.

I have done most of the objectives on the quest, but now i have come to " Bring the drawing of the glyphs to Archmagister Merrâyil " . But when i click on him all i get is " the person is busy ". I have tried to reload a save file before i came to that objective, but still same thing. And i have tried to resetai on him, but still same thing. So litteraly i'm stuck.

Welcome to our forum!

Try to change the area and return to him.
Did that help?

Did you install mods?
Some can cause problems.

[urst]

also, could you upload a savegame?
found in ...\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves,
we'll need the skse and the ess of a manual (no quick- or auto-) save,
pack them to a rar or zip archive and attach them to a post here

I did try that but still same thing. I don't use any mods.

Then upload a savegame as @urst described it.

[Samrika]

There is my save files both the skse and the ess saves

[urst]

the save worked fine for me (which is a good thing)
you don't speak directly to the Archmagister, there is a scene starting at the top of the stairs.

(you walked in slowly, that's why it didn't work )
(at least, I think that's the problem )

Maybe you can sit at the table to help others or reload,
(when entering the hall)
Most players go faster because they already hear the conversation.

[Kermit 61]

He can not go faster because he is completely overloaded (@urst saw it )

So it is possible that a scene will not be triggered if you move too slowly? I didn't know that. I do recall there used to be a problem with the scene where you go to Jespar's home in the desert not triggering properly if your timing was off, which was eventually fixed, I believe.
