Hey. So I was playing on Skyrim and I got to the alduins wall quest. I had esbern and delphine join me on my way to the wall, (I've done this before and nothing happened) so I fast traveled to Swindlers Den to kill Kemute (side quest) but they weren't there. Only Aela was (She was already a follower). I checked Delphine's secret room and Esberns room in the ratway and they weren't there..Help?

It'll help even more if you stop spamming the same thread :p

Hmmmm.... I'm not too good on memories, when/where was the last time you spoke to them (like what was the last thing you had to do in the questline)? They probably are walking to the wall or some crazy stuff, and you might need to wait a few days for them to get there, or they really are glitched.

If it's the 2nd one, then you can always to the moveto commands, to just teleport them both to you. Type in the following in the exact order:
----------------------------
prid 00013485
moveto player

prid 00019DFD
moveto player
----------------------------

First one selects Delphine's REF ID, and then obviously "moves to the player". 2nd one is Esbern's REF ID ^_^

If you're on console and unable to use the commands above, check to see if they are already at Karthspire waiting for you.

I've had this problem. After you reach about... Rorikstead give or take a few areas and locations around there, they 'disappear' and appear at Karthspire, fighting the people living there. (as well as a special flying guest)

No idea why this happens, but if you cross the mountain range from Rorikstead you'll eventually see a bunch of pretty colors of Esbern shooting off spells, and Delphine kicking some butt. As well as a few roars and tremors. Quite the scene. They'll be there, that's why I usually choose, "It's better if we travel separately" option since they disappear after Rorikstead and appear in/at Karthspire.

^ Agreed 100%.

I believe the two leave you if you venture too far from whatever their preferred route is (most likely the main road that goes between Fort Sungard and Sunderstone Gorge). For example Rorikstead is probably way off.
It's been months since I last progressed even that far in the MQ, and even then I told them to meet me at Karthspire, so my memory of the quest is not exactly the clearest. :p

Yeah the AI pathfinder is, in my opinion, screwed up. Well, not exactly anyway... They just don't like going off-road :p

Come to think of it, I believe D&E left me somewhere between North Brittleshin Pass and the Whiterun-Rorikstead-Markarth crossroads. That stretch of road is really bad when it comes to followers... it seems almost every time I travel there with a quest-related follower they end up stopping and temporarily refusing to continue following. My horse likes to do the same, as does Barbas. :rolleyes:
