Hi there im currently level 29 , just been doing random lvling stuff before actually doing the main quest line( perhaps this is the problem? doubt it as everything scales with you )

So today i kinda started doing the main quest, got to the Ustengrav part where i have to retrieve the horn. Now here's the bug, when i get to the bottom near the small water fall under the bridge that leads to the 3 rocks where you have to activate them and sprint through 3 gates, where the word wall is, THE problem is there is no new word on there like there should be? nothing shiny nothing is happening.

ALso the 3 stones above dont activate at all, perhaps because i've got to get the word from the wall below first?

Any tips/ help is deeply appriciated!.

I'm not sure why the word won't unlock, but you don't use the word for that puzzle so that shouldn't have anything to do with it. In fact, you should already have done a very similar puzzle with a gate that closed too fast that you had to use a particular shout to clear. It was part of the main quest.

Hey thanks for the reply. I haven't done any puzzles in Ustengrav so far, where about is the gate that closed to fast? Also i can't activate any gates using the activate button(s) near them on the wall, nothing happens. Some draugr's in some rooms don't even come to life, and the part where a trap puts you on fire doesn't occur either.

One more thing i noticed is that my carriage ride doesn't work, i press on the destination, and then nothing happens, it just gets stuck unless i press circle, got in the carriage from behind and nothing happens neither does he take any money from me. Tried this on a other SAVE and the carriages seemed to work fine.
any more helps would be helpful.
