After I use vampire seduction and bite the moth priest or my spouse. The game simply gives the statement that I have fed, my vampire powers receded, etc., but the objective does not complete. What must I do?

Dawnguard Vampire Seduction issues.

What quest is this objective for? The Moth Priest is an essential NPC, and your spouse has their own Dawnguard vampire quest so they're probably immune prior to that.

Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, I have both The Gift and the Prophet objectives going...

from what happened with me an i'll try to kill two birds with one stone:1. when fighting the moth priest and you get him down, and if you are given V's S and it doesn't show up in powers, then go to the nearest coffin and sleep until you gain it.2. After you bite the moth priest you need to tell him to go to the castle, he will go on his own, and will meet you there, he isn't actually a "follower" per-say.

(I was 'Guest Ra' - now Ra-Born --just in case you were wondering.) The problem that I ran into is that I can do the vampire seduction and 'feed', but the system just says that I satisfied my hunger. It doesn't actually make them become thralls or vampires. Which then keeps me from advancing in either quest.

You should use your seduction power to "calm" them and then feed on them after that. They don't need to be sleeping for this to work, which is one way you can tell if you're doing it correctly.

again, you should only have to talk to them, if he is telling you that he isn't afraid of you, try and reload an autosave of when you first entered, then exit and re-enter. Stage 1 unlocks Vampire's Seduction and will work no matter what level you are for this specific quest. it worked for me on the first try, aside not being able to acquire VS due to my stage of Vampirism, but upon hitting him with it, he should be able to be fed on, then the quest SHOULD update and tell you to either talk to Serana or tell him to travel back to the castle

That is exactly what he keeps doing, he'll say I am not afraid of you, over and over while he is in the ' seduced' state and I try to talk with him after feeding on him. I will try to go back out again and then re-enter to see if it will work the next time around. Unfortunately, I have already saved over the prior saves of when I first went in to deal with him, because this has been a problem for over a week.

Then you may.. and this hurts to sat becayse it isn't good news but if it persists and you can't find a fix (I have no idea, and Dawnguard is stull relatively new due to the smaller 360 group here) then you may just need to go to the save before you even started Dawnguard.

Well, this has without question been the worse DLC I have purchased. Not only has it kept me from playing it fully. But, this morning trying to clear the cache yet again. I deleted all of my saves, stemming from 11-11-2011 @ 12:49 AM onward, and my disc seems faulty now. Not at all pleased. But, thanks for all the help and suggestions all of you gave. Maybe, I will reconsider purchasing Skyrim on a P.C..

try and make a new character? That may have been a little extreme to delete some or apparently all of your saves. If you are on PS3, could've been a utility patch error, and if you have the game installed that could've helped with the problem.The disc part, I don't know. Which console do you have and not to insult your intelligence but do you know for PS3 or Xbox 360 how to delete your patches and system Cache, not just delete your Saves or DLC etc.?

Oh no, no offense taken. I appreciate your help. I have the XBOX 360. I was able to successfully clear the caches multiple times. I must have accidentally deleted the Skyrim memory, by moving through the System hard drive too hastily. The disc just from time to time keeps urging me to clean it with a soft cloth, and restart my console. I am figuring that its less to do with the disc and more with the content loading. I don't have a choice now, so I am re-starting from scratch. ;-)

Well I wish you the best of luck because that sucks, but Hopefully it was just a problem with that save, and not the DLC itself. If it happens again, let me know on here or by PM, then my best bet would be to tell you to uninstall the Dawnguard DLC then reinstall it.Hopefully that will make everything work, because things like that have happened to me with other games and their DLC and i've ripped my hair out over it and realized that just redownloading works prefectly fine.

Thanks for the help. I had to re-install the DLC several times before I could even get it to work or show up in the game the first time around. Then, of course you know the end result, I was unable to do 'The Gift' quest, or 'The Prophet" quest, also I had multiple drain fatigue shouts, and I had issues with completing the Word Wall at Archwind Point, along with the game not allowing my objective of 'Joining' the Mage's College in Winterhold and the Bard's College and the Thief's guild to complete. It also had 4 duplicate NPC's standing at the Whiterun Stables after I gave Frost to the 'new owner'.So, I have now joined all of the factions, so now that I have re-installed the DLC to the new created character we'll see what happens. I wanted to knock out all of the known problem issues before I re-downloaded Dawnguard. Hopefully Archwind Point's Wall will show up now that I have uploaded the DLC and I can complete it before the Greybeards point me in that direction.
