Good Intentions Bug

[JWells245]

In the College of Winterhold quests, Good Intentions, I am stuck towards the beginning when you first speak to Tolfdir. My objective is to "Listen to Tolfdir" while he talks about the Eye of Magnus. Instead he just stares at it until Ancano comes in and they just stare at eachother. I can't progress in the is quest now or finish the College of Winterhold.

Hm. Is it possible that the dialogue is occuring as far as the game is concerned, but you do not hear it? If Arcano comes in even if "nothing" is happening that's suspicious and would make it appear as such. I know some quests have bugged audio dialogue but still continue anyway. Try going along with it for a bit and see if the quest naturally progresses anyway (though it sounds like you've already waited quite awhile).You can try talking to Tolfdir and going through his different dialogue options again to see if that fixes the problem. Make sure you're not far away from him, either, as distance might be an issue.If none of the above work, you're probably going to have to reload a previous save from before you got the "Listen" objective.

I just waited closely infront of them for about 10 minutes and nothing happened. Their mouths don't even move. I think I have a dialogue bug which is messing with a lot of my quests..

Try casting status spells on Tolfdir, or summoning an Atronach then killing it, anything to start a boot to scenario within the occupied UI.

Everytime I conjure an atronach and kill it they move away and then come back. But still no talking or quest progression.

Finally fixed it by getting suspended from the College and getting the quest "Rejoining the College". I talked to Tolfdir to pay my fine to get back in the college. As soon as I exited that dialogue Ancano said I needed to follow him and I got the next quest task.

It's great that you fixed it! I'm sure that will help a lot of people who have the same problem.Fixing it by getting suspended and going through the Rejoining process was a fantastic idea.

Thanks for the help, hopefully this tactic can help with other guild bugs.
