In order to "beat" an oblivion gate, you take the sigil stone at the end, agreed?

Well, the last two oblivion gates I've gone into the sigil stone hasn't has the option to activate it, and as such I have to just run back through to the entrance (and given the nature of some, that involves swimming through lava because I have to drop down some holes or whatever).

Anybody ever encounter this before or know how to fix it?

XBOX 360.

Thanks

Also, if it makes a difference I've closed 10 gates before (according to my record), and this bug happened in the last two gates I've been in.

Which gates are they? Are they quest related or are they just for fun? If for fun all i can say is that you should try the ones related to quests to see if its going to screw over you ability to beat the game...

Will do

They're just for fun (except the one at Kvatch I closed)

Some oblivion gates have 3 towers. Two of them look like regular towers, except that they don't have a Sigil Stone. Just climb one and pull the switch near the top. Then go all the way down and enter the second one. Climb to the top. Pull the switch of that one too and go a few levels down. You'll find an entrance to the third real tower. There are two such entrances (both marked as "Wastes of Oblivion"). The one near the top is confusing. When you enter it it will retract the bridge. Don't worry. Go a down some more. The other one will connect to the real tower after pulling those switches.

Thanks, but the problem isn't that I can't find the tower with the sigil stone, it's that when I go to take it from the top of the tower I have no option to activate it (thereby taking it)

Oh! Sorry. I misread. Sounds like your game has been corrupted.

Hmmm, I tried another Oblivion gate and could grab the sigil stone in that one, and then I got my hopes up so I did the Wayward Knight quest, and I could close that gate too. So I went to another one, and it turned out to be one of the ones I couldn't close before. And I still can't close it now...odd (it's the one by Roland Jenseric's Cabin).

is it for Xbox 360? if so have u updated the game at all? coz hat screwed my game up and when i updated everything was fixed if your music at the start is all jumpy then it needs to be updated, using wireless Xbox 360 adapter or RJ 45 cable
