Well, the subject says it all really.

I have tried all 5 of my back-up saves, reloaded millions of times, but whenever I activate the sigil stone, the weird animation shows, I get teleported back to the real world and the dialogue from the quest pops up saying I closed the gate.

I go in my inventory and there is no sigil stone anywhere to be found.

Help would be appreciated.

Have you checked in the soul gem part of your misc inventory? if not I really have no idea

Yea, I have.

I even checked some movie on Youtube to know where they usually go in your inventory :p

I'm on the pc version, so I can always console them, but this whole game is about oblivion gates and the stones don't appear, consoling doesnt get me much satisfaction though.

If nobody knows what I can do I have no choice, but maybe someone knows something.

Have you tried closing other Oblivion Gates? Does this happen to all Gates, or just the Kvatch Gate?

The whole game is not actually about closing Gates. You only have to close 3. You can close a total of 60 Gates, but it does get repetative after a while. The Main Quest Line is only about 1/8th of the game. Although I can understand that it is frustrating that the game is not working right, you can still proceed, and not miss out on doing any of the other quests.

I remember hearing about something like this, but it was quite a while ago. I do not remember what causes this, or if there was a fix. I've searched, but have not been able to find it on the Wiki, and a Forum search has come up short so far. I'll keep looking, but I can't guarntee I'll find it.

*** Note: The Allies for Bruma Quest is optional, so you don't have to do it. If you do chose to do this, then you would have to close a total of 10 Gates.

Did a search on wiki and forums myself, therefor my new post, but there are probably more sources to check.

What I really meant was the game itself is called Oblivion, the icons on the map show the very same image as the drawing on the dvd box, yet that part they seem to have really messed up, seeing from some of the posts during my searches. I still adore oblivion and I got loads more to do then closing gates, most likely I won't be doing any other gates then the ones in the story anyway

This is my first oblivion gate ever, and I've had this game for a few years already, I'm all about leveling then playing, so haven't tried other gates yet.

Well if you've been playing the game that long, I would at least try a reinstall. Do you have the latest patches as well?

I take it that at least one of the backups is pre entering the Ob gate?

Also, depending on how bothered you are, I would try creating a quick throw-away char, head straight to Weynon and then Kvatch, and see if you get the same prob on a new char. It sounds like you've prob been playing your current char for quite a while?

Well yea, I'm currently level euhm 32? custom class 'The Rogue' with almost nothing in my questlog, all stats at 100, so I figured I'ld do a little of the main quest.

Yea I have my ''DoNotDelete' save right before I exit the sewers, lemme try some of that real quick :p

I recently bought the GotY edition, so I installed that, with the offical patch yea, havent installed cd2 with SI and KotN yet, could that be it maybe (although I did install the latest patch)?

[EDIT]: Well, my save before leaving the sewers works fine, but I'm not really in the mood to do everything over, I'll try a save before entering the gate, if I find one.

[EDIT2]: Luckily my Post-Training save works aswell, weird, since I only walked to the priory and then to kvatch since that save, sure I check out any icon on my map for fast travel function, but I wouldn't think it would cause that much. Thanks for the help all, I'll take another hike again then .

Yayy!! Glad it worked! Good luck for not finding anymore glitches!

I don't remember hearing of anyone having probs from leaving SI and KotN uninstalled while continuing on with vanilla Ob.

Exactly 2 hours later I can honestly say it works, and now I even got 3 sigil stones
After 3 tries I finally found a good one :p

Thanks for the help weka.

[EDIT]: Seems it kept corrupting my savegame, couldn't enter Kvatch after the gate, deleted all my savegames, this time I'm just gonna console myself to lvl 43(was my lvl after training), I did it twice already, 3 times is too much, wish me luck :p
