I have quite a large thorn in my Skyrim world at the moment and would greatly appreciate any help I can find.
I have played Skyrim on my other PC and have played through most of these quests 2-3 times before with no problems cropping up. This time, I am playing on my newly made, pretty darn fancy, gaming desktop. Now all of a sudden many quest triggers are simply failing to do their job.
The Situation
So far, three seemingly unrelated quests have failed me on my new character and I have hardly done ~15% of the total quests available to a proud dragonborn such as myself.
No amount of reloading helps the situation.
The Details
The first quest this popped up in was Waking Nightmare (DA16). Trouble arose just after I drank Vaermina's Torpor (stage 100 I think) As soon as I enter the dreamstate, I see the two NPCs talking about the invading orcs and how they must release the miasma. However, several lines into the dialogue, the two stop talking and fail to say their next lines. a couple seconds later they just stare at me. I am still immobilized and unable to take any action including talk to either of them.
The second quest was The Silver Hand (C03). When I enter the Underforge and see Skjor and Aela in werewolf form. (stage 15-20) Skjor starts talking about the blessing of the blood, yadda yadda, and then walks to the other side of the room. Again, he forgets his lines and then a couple seconds of silence, their two heads snap to me. I cannot interact with either of them and the only way I was able to progress was by using the console command "setstage C03 20" which did work, but I had to do it several times due to it bugging out future parts of the quest.
The third and final quest that made me put Skyrim on the back burner was First Lessons (MG01). This Winterhold quest I must have done a dozen times without a hitch. I entered the Hall of Elements and ran up to Toldir to trigger the magic shield whatever lesson. He started talking, the students objected to such elementary warning about magic. Then, right as Tolfdir is supposed to ask your opinion on whether this lesson should be skipped, or is an important lesson, he gets a case of tongue-tied-itis. He freezes for a couple seconds, then all NPCs in the room snap their heads in my direction. Everyone of them is tagged as "busy" and I cannot talk to any of them.
I didn't even bother with trying to use console commands to get past this one. I am tired of this nonsense.
I have rambled on for long enough and wish to spare any more of your time. Please, if I left any details out (Nexus Mods I am using for example) feel free to ask.
Please, don't let these bugs tarnish my love for Skyrim.
