iggypop1 Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Hi i seem to have all the vanilla bugs in my Skyrim......Im missing "Captain of the Guard" Caius after the quest "Dampned Spirits" ive read that its a common bug but i would like him back in my game. He is not dead just disapeared. So googled this (long time ago) and managed to get him back in and it worked. My problem is that i dont remember what i did!!!!? Prid,Recycleactor,Placeatme,Moveto Player etc,etc codes but in what sequence???? tried to re-google my problem but could not find the ansver again Can someone help me with this little problem please?
Dorabella Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Try with console command Open console , write the string SetStage ( ID Quest) (ID Stage ) Skyrim:Dampened Spirits
mircislav Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 If you can't see or click the NPC you want to get the RefID but you know its name, then on the console type "save funclist 1". It will open a txt file with every refID in your save game, just search for its name.
iggypop1 Posted April 5, 2021 Author Posted April 5, 2021 @Lestat1627 @mircislav I have the IDs both base and ref what i need is in what sequence i need to write the commands in the console? Ex: Prid+refID or BaseID? Recycleactor? ID+Placeatme or Moveto player? Something like that. I succeeded with this before but i just dont remember the exact commands and their exact sequence This is a vanilla bug that sometimes makes Caius disappear from the game after the Meadery quest (ie his not dead).... what i want is to re-introduce him into the game
RW311 Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 placeatme creates a copy which is fine if you needed them for dialogue only to finish a quest. but if quest needs that npc based on their ref id for some other scene.. I don't know the scene you are stuck on so not sure, , but you would use prid REFID to get them targeted and then moveto player will have the npc as they should be in the game and stick them near you.

No, im shure its a vanilla bug....even if i got the USLEEP i get the bugged Nightingale Cavern gate, and i got the Markath Guard bug (cidna mine) Edit: Im not shure of his role in The Civil War outcomes.......but this from the wiki "After he escorts Sabjorn out, they will permanently disappear" so it seems like he is scripted out of the game☹️ well i like to have him around

No im shure its a vanilla thing after the thieves guild quest he is written out of the Skyrim gameworld......https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Commander_Caius So if im right its not a bug just a Bethesda decision

mircislav Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Yes, but my game is not exactly modded "by the book" - I like to mess thing up (trials and errors learning) so, maybe I did something I should not (most likely)...
