I've done this mission once before, before I downloaded hearthfire and the latest version (1.8) - But now, I can't complete the mission.


Dialogues don't initiate, activators don't seem to work, and the quest doesn't update.

Example:

Walking into the Dawnguard worldspace/main base/whatever, you are supposed to meet Agmaer and "sort-of" have a conversation with him walking up to the fort.
-Never happens.
He stands there staring at me and talks about wanting to help out.
----------------------------------
If you to Durak about the crossbow he is using, he says something along the lines of "here, take one".
Crossbow never gets added to the inventory.
----------------------------------
I seem to a remember a conversation at the front door.
-Nobody ever shows up.
----------------------------------
There is supposed to be a conversation between the leader of the Dawnguard and a Vigilant of Stendarr.
-Never happens.
They stand there silently looking at each other until I talk to one of them. Agmaer doesn't have much to say either.
----------------------------------
Eventually, the misc. quest gets marked as completed, but no new quest starts. and the Vigilant just sits down in the Fort. Nothing progresses.


----------------------------------
Any Ideas on how to fix this, and get the quests back on track?
Using "setstage" command on "DLC1VQ01" (Awakening - The second quest) doesn't work. It just moves that quest to the completed quests section.

I'm bumping this. I have the problem where Dawnguard quest completes but Awakening doesnt start. I've tried setstage, resetquest , completequest, unchecking mods, reloading save and everything else I can think of, but still the Awakening quest isnt given to me.

Please someone help.
