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.

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 :)

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.

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

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.

don't think moving slowly in general causes this, but missing triggerboxes does.
at least I guess that's what happened here.
I'm not a dev, I don't know... anything


haven't seen a ticket in the bugtracker about that yet,
we'll change that as soon as OP confirms this solution :)


edit.
or maybe not.
the triggerbox spans the whole room :/
it's Enderal, you're running for your life the whole time anyway :dumb:

I was assuming he was moving slowly because he had picked up too much loot and was over his weight limit.
Re: The Word of the Dead Help - by urst
Posted: 01.05.2018 21:15
oh, he is.
but that's not part of the bug.
(the last sentence was more of a joke)

So perhaps the cause is that i have too much junk in my inventory ?
Re: The Word of the Dead Help - by urst
Posted: 03.05.2018 16:06
it's probably not the immediate reason;
the stuff in your inventory is the reason you walked slowly -and that would be the reason the scene didn't trigger.
either because you missed the triggerbox (which should start the scene),
or the scene doesn't start because you walked slowly (which is, according to user stuemper, who knows stuff, unlikely)

or there's some completely unrelated bug.

did you try selling (or dropping) some stuff and running upstairs?

Something similar happened to me there too, I was through the upper door and when I arrived there pretty slowly, the conversation was already half over.
But there was no mistake with me.
Maybe you needed even longer to be there and the conversation was over. Therefore no quest trigger?

I did put most of then things i hade i the safe chest, so i wasn't over weight, and when i came up there were they are, the archmagister keep talking about the magic words. and after they talked, nothing happend. He was still busy.

hm, the scene seems completely fine with that save :?:
you walk up there, Merrayil and Firespark should talk about that crystal and then split it.
Firespark should tell you to pick up one of the shards, and the quest continues/closes.
(you don't even really talk to Merrayil during the quest)

and that doesn't happen?
the scene just stops?
at what point? (a sentence would be nice for bugfixing :) )


edit
is your game up to date? (patch 1.2.5.0)

you could try to
[+] redownload the patches
- open the file config.sur in
...Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\EnderalLauncher\system\config (with Notepad)
- edit the line sCurrentVersion=x.x.x.x to sCurrentVersion=1.0.0.0 and save
- run the Launcher as admin and reload the patches
maybe that helps :?:

After Merrayil and Firespark and when Firespark says " Sun be praised...working with these fumblers is harder than teaching complex mathematics to a leor. The scrounger already told me about your success, good work." After that nothing hapens Firespark don't tell me anything.

the game is up to date, i have 1.2.5.0

Ok i will try redownload the patches.

I did redownload the patches and run the launcher as admin, but not even that work. They had their talk and when Firespark finished his line and after that nothing.
