AwfulArchdemon Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I have every recommendation but 1 to enter the Arcane University. The last Mage's Guild quest takes me to Bravil. I need to wear the Dreamworld Amulet, and go to sleep, to wake up Henantier. Every time I go to sleep, the game freezes, even the mouse. It requires me to go to the task manager to quit. I tried over 10 times in a row. Anyone else have this problem? If so, how did you fix it? I tried the Unofficial Patch, but it changed nothing. Don't know if this matters, but I'm wearing Cursed Armor. Edit: Google has no help to offer. Google is looking pretty bad these days.
Captain Cobra Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 The Bravil recommendation requires you get back a staff from some guy. The quest you're trying to do is a sidequest, although getting both quests from the same person can get confusing. I'd try leaving everything that you possibly can at safe location and trying again. Maybe a quest essential item you have could be causing it (even though Oblivion usually just lets you keep it)?
AwfulArchdemon Posted November 21, 2013 Author Posted November 21, 2013 Maybe it's due to the Cursed Armor then. I was afraid of that. It's permanent. I really just want to get into the damn University already, but dude won't give me that quest. Hopefully, I won't have to do this quest 1st to get it, but it seems to be that way. The 'Recommendation' option doesn't even appear in the dialogue. Am I doomed? New game without Cursed Armor? I would just fire Skyrim back up if I had to start a new game at this point.
chivaleroncross Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Hmm.. never used Cursed Armor, have you ever tried new game without it, just to experiment.
Captain Cobra Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Look up the formid of the armor bits in the Construction Set. Make sure you get the mods load order number (i.e. 2f). Load up your save, open the console and type player.unequipitem 2f000fff; replacing 2f000fff with whatever combination of mod number and form id is relevant. Repeat this for all the other armor bits, and then try again. Alternatively, you might have to be rid of the armor for the entirety of the quest. If that's so, type player.removeitem 2f000fff; again, replace with the relevant id and do the same for the other armor bits. When finished with the quest, you can re add them with player.additem (relevent formid), and, if necessary, re-equip them with player.equipitem (relevent formid).
AwfulArchdemon Posted November 21, 2013 Author Posted November 21, 2013 I'll try it out, but the armor is attached via quest, so it may not come off until the quests are completed, no matter what I type. I hope that's not the case. Haven't tried without it, because I'm afraid of the consequences of disabling the mod while this quest is active.
Symon Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Cursed armour does several 'old-fashioned' forced equips to enforce transformations. (Blockhead is a much smoother way to manage this now, but like LoversPK, would need a total rewrite to fix it). It's probably a fight between the side-quest removing all your equipment and Cursed Armour forcing equipment on you. I know for a fact it doesn't check for that quest. Don't try that sidequest with Cursed Armour active I'm afraid.
Poontank Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I've never tried 'Cursed Armor' because it affects the general gameplay on such a fundamental level. So I have no experience with this. Will the armor's script also interfere with other quests? I'm thinking of the Sanguine quest for example, and the Lake Arrius Caverns infiltration part of the main quest ('Dagon Shrine' quest). Two instances in the game I remember that also fiddle with the inventory, the latter forcing the player to willingly give up all equipment. Might cause problems as well. Or do the Cursed Armor parts have quest item status? In that case the Dagon Shrine's warden will not take the armor from the player. What about going to jail when wearing the armor? Yet another instance the game forcibly removes the contents from the inventory, also minus quest items (which don't show up but are still present, they can be used if they had been set to hotkeys before going to jail).
Symon Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 IIRC, there is special handling for 'go to jail', but most of the equipment is forced on by script. I really wouldn't try it except as a 'standalone' set of quests, but it has fun aspects. Personally I always used Wrye Morph to become a temporary character and then reverted after finishing. You can do the same thing with an archived save.

AwfulArchdemon Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 I just want to know how to complete the Cursed Armor quests at this point. My version is in Klingon, so I have NO CLUE what the hell to do. I've had sex and masturbated millions of times, so that's apparently not all I have to do.
Captain Cobra Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Look up the Quest in the CS, and see which stage has the Complete Quest box checkmarked. Then type setstage (questname) (stagenumber) without the parenthesis. It'll skip the rest of the quests, but it should be useful in seeing if it really is the armor that is causing the crashes.
AwfulArchdemon Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 Will do, but it will have to be later. I just installed a fresh MO into Skyrim, and turned that on with new, and updated mods, so I could give better support in the Skyrim threads, and my MO thread, so it may be a day or 2, but I'll check it out. If I could start a new game, and go right to that quest, I would, but the beginning is long in Obl, and this was the last 'Recommendation' quest I was given, so it would take forever and ever. Also, I'm running out of room on my comp, so dl'ing CS is a maybe. Thanks!
Symon Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 You aren't using the translated version then?
AwfulArchdemon Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 Couldn't find it. The version I downloaded SAID it was the English version, but I found out too late that this was not the case.
Symon Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 From this website? You know you need two downloads for the English version with an optional third download?
AwfulArchdemon Posted November 23, 2013 Author Posted November 23, 2013 From this website? You know you need two downloads for the English version with an optional third download? Google. It said 4shared Cursed Armor download-English version, or something. It lied. Now...what's this you say about downloading 3 things to get English??
