Can't belive my eyes, no one has brought this up?! Guess I have to then.
Quest: Reunification of Skyrim
Type: Main Quest, Imperial Legion (Civil War)
Description: After events taking place in Whiterun you're handed a new quest from General Tallius (think that's correct) where you're ordered
to go to the Imperial Pale Camp and talk to Legate Rikke. When you arrive Rikke does NOT have the correct dialogue option available. There
are supposed to be three things to choose when talking to her, one of them being something along the lines of "What are my orders?". This
choice is not there when you talk to Rikke and I've tried everything to make it pop up.
How To Replicate: As far as I know all you have to do is start this questline until you get "Reunification of Skyrim", then try talking to Legate
Rikke which as I mentioned is impossible.
Stats: I've been playing the game roughly 70 hours, Skyrim had been running for about 1? hour when I reached the problem. I'm level 43 at
the time being (when trying to do the quest) and I have not noticed any prolonged loading times or other issues.
Other: My guess is the patch (1.2) being the culprit behind all this but I cannot be sure. I've tried everything from sleeping, resting, having the
guards at the camp fight a giant by luring him in, cleared my console's cache, reinstalled the game, tried to re-load the save, went thought the
entire Whiterun mission again, talked to Legate Rikke from different sides, tried picking the other dialogue options and I've also pretty much
bashed her to death with my mace to see if that would make it work.
Note that not a single thing of the stuff I mentioned worked to fix this issue. Any help with this bug will be greatly apprechiated!
