XIIGenocide

The Scaled Arcanist
Hey guys, been a while since I've posted and I feel bad for finally logging on and asking for help, but here we go.

Belethors shop remains closed, all the time. This is a great hinderance because Whiterun is just my main place? The main place I sell things, smith, get quests, my homes there, all that stuff. I need his store to be open, but 24/7, it's just locked. He's not dead because when I break in hes angry and asks me to leave. I've downloaded a mod to fix it, to no avail, any suggestios?

He's not being lazy. He's most likely dead. I've lost him many times in vampire attacks. I've had a similar glitch where he dies, disappears and then stands behind the counter and never moves. Seems like if I travel directly to Dragonsreach there will sometimes be a random attack that I'm not aware of. That's usually when it happens to me.

Have you tried the fixes mentioned in Belethor's UESP article? http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Belethor - "Bugs" section


I understand that he said he's not dead. I'm saying that I've had the same thing happen when I fast travel to Dragonsreach and a vampire attack occurs at the front gate. I find dead vampires and Belethor laying on the ground. I leave and come back and Belethor is gone and his store stays locked and he's inside and I can't interact with him any time of day. It's happened more than once and it seems to be tied to vampire attacks for me. I'm not even saying that the OP is experiencing the same thing necessarily. Just seems very similar.

So would you suggest console commands to bring him back?

I don't even know. I just live without him when it happens to me. I just mention in case you had a save recently where there may have been an attack. I myself don't save often enough so I'm usually forced to accept it.

hello every one:) & XIIGenocide :cool:


Vampires:mad:.......this one is telling you allo_O......next it will be the Vampiwolves:eek:......but no one is listening:sadface:.......ahhh well to the mater at hand


Did you revive a letter of inheritance after Belathors Death?.....this confirms death....and whats a name takes over the shop.:p

Advice about vampire attackso_O.....IMPORTANT.....before fast travel to a location that is night time and most likely for a Vamp attack.....set Difficulty right down to Easy!

This give the Guards & Towns people a fighting chance against Vampires, if you have a Difficulty on Expert, Master or Legendary the vampires will wipe out just about every one if you don't get involved!:sadface:

vampires start there attack from outside the city walls....go to the stables and wait there if you can seance an attack.....by default attacks in the game are set to every 3 days (same for dragon attacks)

there is a MOD if you are on PC called Timing is Everything;) (nexus) lets you set the defaults for Quest activation..you can set it up that your very first Vampire encounter to start at level 99(max):eek: also you can make Dragonborn start after the main quest not half way through just after Way of the Voice.....but after killing Alduin:eek:


but like this one said Vampires easy:p......wait till you face a Vampiwolve!!!!!!!!!!o_O

you probably won't receive a letter of inheritance about Belethor because he doesn't come up with any quests that allow you to befriend him. Maybe if you use the investment perk on him, he will become your "friend", but it seems unlikely you'll be notified about his death otherwise.
