Cant get the first word in Bleak Falls Barrow

[maverick]

So i was playing skyrim on my computer and I got to the final part of bleak falls barrow and the word wall is chanting and I'm getting the sound it makes when you're learning a word but the word wasn't lit up and i never got the word. I've been trying to find a fix for this but i cant find one. can anyone help me out.

The best idea I can offer is use the teachword command to give yourself the shout, and then the setstage command to advance the quest. The commands and their explanations/instructions can be found here,

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Console_Commands_(Skyrim)/Shouts

As you're at the first wall, the word you want is "Fus." Look at the list for the ID number, then in your console, type

help fus

and double check that it's the same ID number in your system. If so, type

player.teachword 13e22

and move on to the setstage.


and the various quests with their ID and stage designators can be found here

Here are some more useful commands, just in case http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Console


Always save first, so you can revert if necessary.

There's another fix, but it seems (according to the talk page) to only work for consoles. That is to face the word wall, save, fast travel way, then reload that save.

Awesome. I've had some good luck with fire runes, at getting them up and out of their coffins.
