I've found 3 bugs related to this quest, you'll have to determine which fits your specific case since the causes are different:

[*]If you have already captured Odahviing in Dragonsreach, you won't have the option to give him the message. Finishing the game and returning to talk to him fixes this.


[*]Note: This may only apply if Odahviing is still trapped IN Dragonsreach. I believe by "finish the game" it just means "complete the main quest."
[/list][*]If you have started the quest Season Unending then there is no option for talking with the Jarl. There are only the dialog options for setting up the trap to capture Odahviing. There is currently no known fix other than to complete the game and return afterwords. ~Ps3/360/PC


[*]I believe this will be fixed in the upcoming 1.4 patch. It's still in development, but should be released soonish. http://eldersouls.co...-release-notes/ for more information.
[/list][*]If you join the Stormcloaks and deliver the Jagged Crown to Ulfric and HAVE NOT finished "Before the Storm," Jarl Balgruuf will not speak to you until you finish Dragon's Rising, and you cannot deliver the Axe from Ulfric. Also, Irileth and the Whiterun soldiers wil disappear, leaving you to kill the Dragon on your own in Dragon's rising. The guards will appear shortly after you kill the dragon. Go through the dialogue with Balgruuf about being a dragonborn, then he will be able to receive the axe.
[/list]I added my notes as a sub-bullet to each message.

I know you can't talk to him about if you haven't done Dragon Rising or if you are on The World Eater's Eyrie quest and a certain someone is still outside of Dragonreach (trying not to spoil anything). Not sure if that helps.

Haha, you'd best not. We need multiple people answering every question; 95% of the time we have different information and perspectives. You've had some great answers, plus I'm rarely on when you are mid-day so it works out. Too bad Mageman has recently disappeared.Let us know if it works, Brogalor.

ok if i wait for the patch can i still get it for xbox360?

[David]

Yes, the 360 will have its own version of the patch, which you'll be able to get assuming you have it connected to the internet. Make sure that your issue isn't any of the fixable ones listed above though; the patch may not be required. There's also no guarantee that the patch will fix it, but it is a good sign that it's mentioned in the release notes.
