Quest Bugs : Elder Scrolls Skyrim
Here we fix the problems Bethesda released Skyrim with. Including crashes from the Skyrim Launcher.
A Cornered Rat Quest Bug
This is an especially heinous bug as the quest, Cornered Rat, is a main story line quest. Some people have reported the bug while others go through it just fine. I personally encountered the bug and it prevented me from being unable to advance the quest.
The A Cornered Rat Quest Bug : Door will not open. Fast text.
This bug happens because the character "Esbern" has a sound file in the main "VoiceExtra.bsa" that is not being read correctly. As a result when you interact with him text text for what he should say scrolls very quickly, and silently. Unfortunately this also prevents a door from opening which you need to enter to progress the quest.
The Fix.
Luckily the fix for; Skyrim Cornered Rat Quest, is simple. Replace the audio file. To do this, download the follow sound file. And place it in your;
"/The Elders Scrolls V Skyrim/Data/" folder, your installation directory.
The folder you download should be a folder named, "sound".
DOWNLOAD (sound.rar) – http://www.multiupload.com/P4HR8FKUFS
Place it in the folder, load a save from before you spoke with Esbern, and you're golden.
Alternative Fix.
While standing outside of Esbern's door during the Skyrim quest, "A Cornered Rat" open the console (~) and input the following console command.
This will bypass this part of the quest but does not fix the problem, so during your next play through you'll need to do the same.

Waking Nightmare Quest Bug
At this part of the quest you are following a priest into a temple, if you entered the temple at the same time or did not allow enough time to pass it seems like Erandur is now missing. He's not.
He has passed through a secret passage he is supposed to open for you but the bug puts him further in his escort path without opening the way for you. Easiest thing would be to have a prior save that you give him some more time once he's entered the temple.
The Fix.
Go outside the temple or right at the entrance inside the temple. Open the console (~) and type;
prid 0024280
moveto player
This should move Erandur to you and will allow you to follow him.
Alternative Fix.
Open up the console (~) and type;
tlc
This allows you to walk through walls and things. There is a statue in the temple, walk through it. Enter "tlc" again to turn it off. You will need to do this one more time further through with a magic barrier.
Erandur is a little punk.

Skyrim Freezes in First Dungeon/Tutorial
Within the first dungeon in Skyrim there are tunnels galore. For some hardware settings, standing next to any of these tunnels will cause Skyrim to freeze and stall. In the tutorial dungeon (first one) there really isn't too much you can do to get around this.
The Fix.
Keep your distance from the tunnels, luckily you do not need to be near them and have to go out of your way to reach them anyways.
Alternative Fix.
Play Fallout 3 if you want to go through tunnels. I heard if you spend enough time in the tunnels there is an actual game attached to those tunnels.
