Hippy
I've run into what could be a pretty serious glitch regarding the Gardener of Men quest.
I didn't finishing reading the 1st and 2nd black books (Winds of Change and Waking Dreams) I had collected until I ended up with Neloth at Nchardak, where I acquired the 3rd book and started the Garderner of Men quest. I tried reading it then, but couldn't get anywhere--all I could do was go back and forth on the turning bridge/tunnel to one of the two landing pads with the scryes, despite activating both of them. No book there to read the next chapter and move on. So I figured I must need to read the other books first, OK?
Well I did that--both Winds of Change and Waking Dreams--and then tried to read Epistolary Acumen again but this time, the tunnel doesn't rotate at all and I can't leave the the landing area where you start after reading the book.
Also, neither time did I see Hermanus Mora above the tunnel nor did he speak to me, which I saw in a You Tube vid for a walkthrough for this quest. Don't know what that's about.
As I understand, The Garderner of Men is the second to last quest before the final quest in the main quest line. if i hadn't done the necessary prerequisites for this quest, then it shouldn't have started for me, but yet it has. And it appears I can't finish it, and thus finish the main quest line. This is a big problem.
I'm going to look for info on other forums today and see if I can't figure this out. If I do I'll post my fix. If not, I guess I'll have to abandon this character, that I've spent so much time building.
