I had the problem with the PS3 version of the game where my save file got too large and I was unable to continue any of the quests. After the patch (I believe it was 1.04) came out I was able to continue on with other quests but when I got to the part where Esbern was supposed to read Alduin's wall and tell me to go talk to the guys at High Hrothgar, he and the woman (her name escapes me right now) had disappeared. Now I can approach the wall but the marker just stays above it without Esbern telling me to continue on. I have moved on to doing side quests and miscellaneous quests for now, but would like to finish the main quest at some point in the game. I have been back to the secret hideout area in the little tavern and neither Esbern or the woman are there. I don't know what to do from this point. Any suggestions?
