Main quest won't advance. Help!

Post » Wed Dec 14, 2011 4:58 am

I just finished Diplomatic Immunity and was told to find somebody named Esbern and ask Brynjolf about him in Riften, after spending about another twenty hours doing other quests I decided to continue with the main story, but noticed I have no active main story quest in my journal. So I grabbed my Skyrim guide book and it told me to talk to Brynjolf in Riften, I travelled to Riften and the only options I had when talking to Brynjolf were to do his pickpocket task or leave him alone. I gave the game the benefit of the doubt thinking after completing his pickpocket task I could ask about Esber, well no, he asked me to join The Thieves Guild, so I did, but STILL can't ask him about Esbern, I even scoured all of Windhelm looking for Esbern and he's not there. What's happening? Is my game broken?? Please help.

A) spoilers section and b ) its riften, go into rataway and follow to the ragged flaggon, then go into back and into vaults. Probably just follow the quest marker.

Please post in the spoiler section.

This is a well known bug, and destroyed the main quest for me until i managed to fix it.

Try doing this, to see if it fixes it for you as well.

I don't have a quest marker, because I don't have a quest, that's the point of this thread, the quest won't advance after Diplomatic Immunity and I know it's a bug because I have the guide book.

Similar to the bug I'm having, but I never joined The Thieves Guild or talked to Esbern. I've put over sixty hours into my character on Skyrim and refuse to start a new game, this is ridiculous.
