Skyrim Battle for Solitude Bug?

Post » Fri Aug 23, 2013 9:22 am

After Ulfric gives his speech in front of Solitude, all the Stormcloaks go in and only Ulfric and Galmar are on the other side. None of the Stormcloaks are there. Neither are any of the Imperials. When I go to Castle Dour, guards are there and Ulfric gets beat up by them. I try to help and bounty gets added to Solitude and the guards overpower me. I am an archer so I can't melee them or anything like that. Also the main gate to Solitude is locked. I have a mod from the Steam Workshop called Open Cities Skyrim and I don't have loading screens for cities. I think it is interfering with the quest. Any help? Has this happened to anyone before?

EDIT: After another attempt to see if I could get the quest working, I noticed all of the soldiers don't open the door. They walk up to it and disappear. They could be being sent to the real Solitude with all the rubble and my mod sends me to the Solitue with nobody there.

When you enter Solitude the city may be in its normal state with citizens and guards wandering around instead of Imperials. This will cause guards to attack Ulfric, Galmar, and you if you attack guards in Castle Dour along with the essential legate.

The quest can still be completed by simply attacking Tullius.

However, there will be no speech or cutscenes, and it is recommended that you leave the city soon after. Your bounty will not be reset until you fast travel somewhere else and then back to Solitude.

--------------------------------------------------------

When you're about to enter Solitude, you may get locked out of the city and say it requires a key to open the door, leaving you unable to finish the quest

  • Open the console, click on the door, and type unlock. The door will be unlocked and you can continue with the quest.
