Bug in quest that has ruined the game

Post » Wed Dec 14, 2011 6:03 am

First off all, I apologise if I have posted this in the wrong section but I couldn't see anywhere else suitable (if it needs moved to a better location in the forums that's fine)

My problem lays within the the quest "Throat of the world". I am being told to learn a shout that I need for the main storyline but when I walk up to it nothing happens, I have no previous saves as they are all auto saves and I don't really want to start the whole game over again as I am level 24.... (if this is a problem that has been mentioned before and is currently in the works of a patch then thank you Bethesda)

I can still do side quests no problem and I can still free roam but as soon as I try to do that quest I get stuck. I have tried numerous ways to get around this I.e Clearing my system cache in case it was a just a console glitch and I have also installed the game to my consoles hard drive. For anyone wondering yes, I am on XBOX 360

If anyone knows from experience what the problem is please let me know.

Thanks

Isn't this the one where you have to...

Spoiler
Read the elder scroll in the time rift? If so, then you need to walk into the rift, go into your inventory, books, then read the elder scroll.

No... I have to

Spoiler
Speak to the graybeards and learn the new shout "Clear the skies". The problem is that the words are written on the floor and you have to physically read them. When I try this nothing happens.

The only advise i can give is that i learned the shout by looking down at his feet. He gives you all three words at the same time so i think you have to read them all, maybe even in order?

Hopefully that will work... I think my problem is that I saved it before we went into the courtyard and when I reloaded it they were outside and the words were already on the ground :unsure:

Are you on PC?

you can try using the console to give yourself "Clear Sky" and the Shouts.

Not sure if you have to set the quest flags for the NPC to show up at the top however.

Any other suggestions?

Sorry to keep bringing this up but it's getting pretty frustrating now

Other than realoding one of your past save-games, which you should have at least 5 of. (not included auto-saves)?

No ideas.
