I hope someone can help here, as I'm getting really frustrated. Nothing like a broken quest to destroy the momentum of a playthrough.

I'm art the point where Jack kneels next to Edward. But there is no Edward! His NPC is missing, so Jack just kneels there in contemplation forever. I had the same issue with Emogene earlier, but someone had posted the setstage commands to get around it. I've not been so lucky this time.

I've tried shooting Jack so he would reset, I've tried disabling and enabling him, but of course neither of these put edward where he is supposed to be. I've tried reloading to a point before we entered the Asylum, and nada.

Have you tried the command?

setstage MS09 750 into the console should spawn Edward, and Jack should respond, allowing to progress the quest.

Whew, seems to have worked. You deserve a medal.

Edit: Yep, finished the rest of the questline and got my super juice. Appreciated.

Good work!
