Dawnguard Bug List #1

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 11:08 am

Alright, this is a bug I've read about in another thread that I don't think has made it to this thread yet.

Type of bug: Graphical, possibly script-related, asscoiated with being a Khajiit and a werewolf

I've heard a report of a bug where if you are a Khajiit and you change into a werewolf, you may end up with the default body of an Imperial with the head of a Khajiit when you revert back, and the game will recognize your character as an Imperial. Reloading, curing yourself, becoming a vampire lord, and using the face-changer NPC don't work, with the latter causing the game to freeze from what I've read. In other words, if it happens, it happens, and there's no fix at all. This has been observed when you become a werewolf for the second time as a Khajiit, so it is unknown at the time whether or not other races like Argonians are affected or if the acquisition of lycanthropy through the vanilla quest is or can be bugged as well.

Further testing should be done in order to gauge the extent of the seriousness of the bug (such as which races are affected, does this affect ALL Khajiit characters, etc.).

Equipt the Pickaxe and attack the ore mine :wink: much faster.

Ya don't say?

I had 1 equipped, and my character just stood there like the animation / action couldn't be found, then I got locked out of the Iron Vein.

Enhanced dwarven crossbow-
When you enchant it the damage cuts by half and the enchantments don't show. This happened to my legendary crossbow. Possible interface issue

type of bug: gameplay
quest: a new order
there is no bear for me to kill with gunmar. i tried waiting 30 in game days and it only reset the spiders in the cave. it appears to be only happening with cronvangr cave. is there anyway to ensure that i get a different place. i tried reseting multiple times but i only get this cave each time i get that part of the quest.

if this isnt fixed then i cant even continue the dlc

11. vampire face may become dark when becoming a vampire.

To be more specific, this occurs when Male Imperial and Breton characters become vampires. Their skin tone gets very dark instead of pale. This bug has been around since the release of Skyrim, it will show up a lot more now that Dawnguard is out and everyone is becoming a vampire lord.

Lost to the Ages Bug

The game does not give an arrow marker for the piece lost in the northern part of the Reach. Don't know if this is a bug or irritating writing on the part of the creators.

3 July Update: I am at the place where the last shard should be at Deep Folk Crossing. There is no ghost, no marker and no shard! Cleared system cache - no help.

wish bethesda would respond to the amount of bugs that is in this dlc. Especially a lot of the game-breaking bugs surrounding Serana. Also in my case the fact my Vamprie Mage can't even do the damn main quest right now cause I probably broke the MQ doing DG before the Elder Scroll part of the MQ.

Is there any known workaround for Elder Knowledge or w/e MQ Quest that is broken yet? So I can continue the MQ?

*Prophet*
4. Immediately upon releasing Dexion, he may remain hostile. [Dawnguard Side]

This happened to me too. As soon as I showed up at Fort Dawnguard, Dexion started to attack me and then Isran attacked Dexion. I did not attack Dexion, nor am I a vampire/have Sanguinare Vampiris.Once Dexion's health got low,I was able to talk to him. I cast Heal Other on Dexion but then he got back up and started to attack me again.
I loaded the autosave that's at the entrance to the Fort to see if it would fix the glitch, but it didn't. This time, Isran and the Dawnguard members started attacking Dexion.
I hope the devs fix these bugs.

Type of Bug: Quest

Upon retrieving Auriel's Bow, Kindred Judgment doesn't start. I've tried reloading the save, restarting the Xbox, dropping the bow and picking it back up, and even heading straight for the castle. I can't seem to fix it. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

I wonder if we do the main quest up to where we get the Elder Scroll (which is not terribly long into it) we can just use it for both quests

there have also people speculating that they will not patch dawnguard material because it gives people files they did not pay for. I hope this is not true?

If so we are stuck with these bugs because of bethesda greed

Not sure if this ones been mentioned yet, but to me it was real game killer, since i needed to type complete each type of quest from gunmar in fort dawnguard to access lost relic quest.
Basically it was quest " Pre-emptive Strike" it asked me to go to "Brittleshin Pass" i went there and where the quest arrow was there was just a necromancer and no sign of a vampire master, even tried waiting 30 ingame days for the dungeon to reset, went bac in cleared it and quest marker was still telling me where vampire master was supposed to be. :/

I can confirm the ash pile glitch. Although it only seems to affect the castle area, in my experience so far at least

Does anyone know if the quest to obtain an elder scroll in the main quest becomes broken if you obtain it for Scroll Scouting/Discerning the Transmundane first? I'm only to The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller in te MQline.

Prior to patch 1.6, obtaining that Scroll early didn't break the MQ. If you're still required to start Discerning the Transmundane in order to get your hands on it, you should still be alright, assuming the patch or Dawnguard didn't introduce any new bugs regarding it.

SOME SPOILERS ALERT:




It worked for me. You still go to the College to speak with the Librarian and go from there. When the time comes to read the Wall, you go see Parthanax and are able to tell him that you have the scroll. (So you can do the Dawnguard MQ first and it shouldn't "break" the big MQ. Just hang onto the scroll. I don't know what happens if you sell it.)

I have seen the vision, fought the first battle on the mountain, so far so good. What does upset me if that I believe you USED to be able to pass the test at the bridge by telling whats her name that you are the dragonborn and shouting instead of casting a spell. This time I did not get that dialogue, I feel bad that I told someone you could do that -- I'm better that got broken with some update and never got fixed. Bethesda, you shouldn't have to join the college to speak to the librarian, and you shouldn't have to steal for whats his name to find the old Blade in Riften.....

Thanks guys! I was just worried because in my journal it mentioned Paarthanax and I'm not supposed to know who he is yet lol.

And according to my guide it says you can only use the shout to get into the college when you reach that point in the MQ if that helps at all. Any other time that option won't appear.

If you pay attention to what Delphine actually says and ignore the stupid journal - she actually hints how to bypass Brynjolf - there's no need to speak to him at all. This is one of the few times the game doesn't require you to follow the journal to the letter in order to complete the quest. Entering the College is also not a prerequisite, although Bethesda fumbled on this one, as there's no clue to a certain hermit's existence outside of joining the College.

Quest Bug
A New Order

After choosing to be banished from the castle, I didn't receive the "A New Order" quest/marker and all I can to talk to Isran about are the first four options you have when you first start the Dawnguard questline. I believe I'm the first to experience this bug (or one like it) in Dawnguard

I have the side quest to learn the first word of Durnehviir's thu'um and then summon him, but when I spend the soul on the shout I do not get the update, and when I use the shout he does not show up.
