[SOLVED] Cannot get Awakening quest to start no matter what I do, driving me insane

[Guest GuyWhoAbruptlyDisappeared]

Hi,

 

I've been having this problem for over two weeks now and I've finally given up to the point of making a forum post. I have Dawnguard and am trying to start the Awakening quest, but no matter what I do, the quest will not start at all. 

 

Dawnguard quest (DLC1VQ01MiscObjective) starts fine. I can go to the fort, the farmboy makes his nervous speech, Isran talks to Tolan, and everything is fine. The Dawnguard quest completes, but Awakening does not start at all. And here is the horrific list of things I have tried:

 

1> Unchecking any mod that depends on Dawnguard

2> Loading an earlier save and trying again

3> Starting a new game from scratch

4> Cleaning the save and removing all orphan scripts with skyrim save tool

5> Validating steam cache files and sacrificing my settings

6> Dismissing any followers

7> Making sure to talk to Durak to start the quest

8> Skipping the quest entirely by force completing it and starting Bloodline (the only fix online, causes gamebreaking bugs)

9> 1, 2

10> 1, 3

11> 1, 4, 2

12> 1, 3, 4

13> 1, 5, 4, 2

14> 1, 5, 4, 3

15>  9-14 + 7

16>  9-14 + 7 then 8

17> Reinstalling Dawnguard completely

18> Unpacking the Dawnguard.bsa scripts into the folder in case it's some strange conflict

19> 9-16 + 17 + 18

 

This is absolutely maddening. I'm haven't reinstalled Skyrim completely because I don't have time to do all the backup and mod-restoring bullshit. I barely have enough time to try to workaround the bug. 

 

The papyrus log shows something is obviously wrong, but I don't know what I can do about it.

I would post my load order, but I can't get Wyre Smash to work and I don't know a better way to get it.  However, the only mods I have that are dawngaurd-related are the unofficial patch and SkyRe.

 

Does anyone have any idea what I might try next?

 

Edit: Fixed. I unpacked the Dawnguard.bsa scripts into skyrim/ instead of skyrim/data/ by accident. I repeated #18 in the right folder and it fixed the problem entirely.

 

After two weeks.

 

Five seconds after making a forum post on it.

Have you tried the Steam option, Verify Integrity of Game Cache? Maybe something got deleted?

 

This is where I love MO since I can make sure if it is mod related or skyrim related...
