I am having a probelm with becoming a vampire lord. I just bought dawnguard. Updated to patch 1.9. Installed Dawnguard.

I started the dawnguard questline and everything was going fine until harkon went to change me into a vampire. I'm talking to him and tell him that I want to become a vapmpire lord. After that he says hold still and then nothing happens. He just stairs at me.

I am still able to move but I can't use any of my combat commands. I can access the start menu, the normal menu, walk around, and jump. I have reloaded from a save game like 5 times. Everytime its the same thing.

I have been researching how to fix this for the past hour. The only thing I have come across that might help is curing myself of vampierism, then going on to become a vampire lord. I'm going to try that right now. If it works I will post a reply.

If anyone has experienced this problem or knows how to fix it, please let me know.

You can delete and re-install Dawnguard, but i'm afraid your save have been glitched because of this, if you have done a save after this particullary problem.

Have you a previous save before you accept Harkons gift to try again?

btw. can u reduce your font size to 14 or leave it default. (it takes a whole page to read it) - Thanks.

Yes, about 10 times. I rebooted and still the same thing. Right now I am in the process of curing my vamperism.

Yes that should be a possible workaround. And then try to become a vampire again.

1. Ask any bartender about any rumors going around, and they direct the infected person to Falion in Morthal who studies vampires.
2. Once there, he informs the vampire that a ritual can be performed to reverse the curse. A Filled black soul gem is required first. Falion offers to sell the vampire a Black Soul Gem, if you cannot acquire one through other means.
3. Fill the Black Soul Gem by casting Soul Trap on a humanoid target.
4. Meet Falion at the stone circle to cure the infection.
5. Falion endlessly agrees to cure vampirism, so the quest can be completed multiple times if infected multiple times.

I tried to to become a vampire lord again as a human and it didn't work. It did the same thing as before. Engage Harkon in a speech, then when I tell him that I want to be a vampire lord, he tells me to stand still and nothing happens.

Is there anything else you can think of that might work? What could cause this to happen in the first place?

I just reloaded the save again. This time I chose the option not to become a vampire lord and it let me continue on. I don't want to the the dawnguard side of the quest line though. I'm gonna keep trying to different things til I get it.

I also checked my effects and powers. It took away all my vampire stuff except my vampire sight. I think its listed as night eye now.

I wonder what would happen if I uninstalled and reinstalled my game data. Thats what I had to do for patch 1.7 or 1.8 when it had the water glitch.

Backup your saves, amd feel free to try.

I don't think you will do something wrong with this one !!!!

And who knows maybe somethink good happens...

Well as you have tried reloading saves and still got the bug it is quite possible that it's triggering from within game data so uninstalling and reinstalling may just do the trick, good luck with it and I hope it works.
