Problem with classic save import.
Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2019 7:20 pm
Hey guys,
Got a bit of an issue after migrating from DOSBox to Unity. I haven't noticed that right away because I was busy advancing in Dark Brotherhood, but my Main Quest chain seems to be broken. Some of it might have been broken before, but that's an optional part that I could live without. Sadly, what definitely broke after loading a classic save in Unity is not optional.
So here's my main quest tree so far:
I have marked the quests I have already finished with a green check mark. Up to that point I was playing in DOSBox.
Even before moving to Unity I have noticed that something might be broken with Queen Aubk-i, but I wanted to give it time. I have reported my findings about Nulfaga, the queen rewarded me, but the quest remained in my log as if I was still to deliver the report. In-game months have passed and I have not received a letter that should have triggered "Mynisera's Letters".
I could not start "Blackmailing Prince Helseth" because I have unknowingly tombstone it myself by completing Elysana's Robe first. Not a biggie.
So that was problem No1, the unimportant one since it's all optional (even though I would like to play through it).
Problem No2 begins with Cyndassa. After checking my last DOS (and first Unity) save game, in vanilla she will give me "The Werebeast" quest no problem, but in Unity she just initiates regular NPC dialog and I cannot make her give me the quest, so this is where the chain is definitely broken. That doesn't mean it's not broken even more, because after importing my save game my quest log is completely empty. After using console command to purge quests I see that one quest was purged, despite the log being empty, so "something" is lurking behind the surface, I just don't know what since I don't know how to check that.
I wanted to try "setmqstage" console command but from what I understand it lowers your level and each stage is contained (as it the followup stage dosn't trigger)? Is there any way I could non-destructively "repair" my save game, or do I have to either start over/trigger each mq stage manually just to play through it/use setmqstage 1, somehow restore my level and replay everything up to that point without losing all my monetary/material/stat progress?
Thanks for any advice.
