Imperial Quest Line Bug? : V

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 11:38 pm

So I'm doing the Imperial questline, and I'm at the part now where we're trying to take back the Pale. Basically what is happening is,

Spoiler

At the quest to go take back Fort Dunstad, the first fort we assault, it has a counter that says "Enemy Remaining 100%." So I gather I have to kill Stormcloaks. The problem? There's not a single solitary enemy in the entire fort, it's completely deserted. And I know I havent' cleared it out before, because when I'm running up to it with the Imperial soldiers, I get the prompt that I've discovered it, the icon on the compass goes from black to white. So I've never been there before. But it's completely empty. Not a single enemy.

How do I get past this quest? And what in the world would cause this? I've tried Google, and can't find anyone else with the same problem.

I'm having this exact same problem.

Spoiler

I had the problem at Fort Dunstad. I get there, there's a marker where my troops are supposed to be, and it updates that I met with them and now I must kill Stormcloaks to capture the fort. Only there are no actual Imperial troops at that spot, and the entire fort is empty, and it's stuck at "100% Remaining". I had no choice but to use the console to finish that quest so I could proceed.

Now I get to the second fort to raid (Fort Greenwall) and it's the same thing. I tried numerous save reloads, I tried waiting 24 hours before going there, I tried running to the location instead of fast-traveling - same situation every time. I really don't want to have to use the console to pass every stage in this questline...

:(

I take it you're on a console yea? what version are you running? and do you have any quests that are random bounty quests or anything that may also involve that particular fort?

For me: PC, 1.3, and no. Though I have been to these forts before and cleared them of bandits. I hope that isn't causing it or I'll be really screwed, as the places I have not cleared are few and far between...
