Sorry if this has been asked before, I have read that it is a common glitch.

Both characters that are required for the quest to begin are alive and in Skaal village, however I have not witnessed the conversation between them that will start the quest.

Originally, Deor Woodcutter had died at the Wind Stone, so I used a console command to respawn him.

I have tried using the console command "Setstage DLC2SV02", as suggested by every guide I have come across, however this has not prompted the quest to start. I have tried activating it from all over Solstheim. I have also travelled back to Skyrim.

Does anybody have any other suggestions as to how to get this quest to start?

Take a look:

actually it's Setstage DLC2SV02 1 not Setstage DLC2SV02

Don't respawn named characters - it creates clones that have issues, such as broken dialogues.

If you know where the corpse is highlight it and use the command recycleactor.

If you don't know where the corpse is get the ref id of the character and use the commands (where xxxxxxxx is the ref id)

Wrong forum, nevermind.

So type at your console: (pressing this button ~)
