Can't start 'The Fate of the Skaal' quest
Trying to start The Fate of the Skaal but Frea and her dad won't let me. I finished The Temple of Miraak a while ago (about 20 levels ago) so I can't reload the save. I am playing on the PS3.
I've tried rereading the black books and revisiting the temple to no avail.

It appears after extensive research, that there are two possible solutions, but if they don't work, the only way to fix is loading an older save. The two solutions are
- Checking to see if the wind stone is unlocked, if not go visit it then return to the village.
- Reopen the exit passage from the temple and then return to the village.
Note, you should check to make sure you have completed all parts of Temple of Miraak.

Upon exiting the Temple of Miraak, the quest begins by following Frea to the Skaal Village. Along the way she will point out the Wind Stone that is enslaving her people and the barrier that has been cast to keep the population of the village safe.How do I trigger Miraak quest?
The prerequisite quest for The Temple of Miraak is Dragonborn, which as you correctly suggest is triggered by reading the orders of the two random(ish) encounter Cultists who attack you in Skyrim.How do I start the Solstheim quest?
To begin Dragonborn, you must travel to Solstheim. This can be done at any points after installing the game add-on content by travelling to the Windhelm docks and locating Gjalund Salt-Sage, a sea captain that may be willing to take you to the island for a small fee.How do you complete The Fate of the Skaal?

If you don't mind just redoing Solstheim and restarting the dragonborn quest line, there is a solution to this. What you need to do is make a save of your current game somewhere other than in solstheim probably. Then uninstall the dragonborn dlc from your system. Then load that save you just created in skyrim. It will give you a warning that the save contains data from an add-on that has been removed, but all it should do is remove the quests and any items that are exclusive to the dragonborn dlc, which is fine cuz youll do it again anyways. Then after youve loaded into that game and made sure that everything from the dlc is gone, create another save file at that same point so that the game will load that file as one without the dlc at all. Then reinstall the dragonborn dlc and load that save file and just redo the whole dragonborn quest line starting with the cultists approaching you randomly. Make sure you make a separate save after the dlc is uninstalled cuz if you dont and just reinstall it and use the same file, i dont think anything will be different cuz that file will still contain the data for the dragonborn dlc. You still have to redo solstheim and the dragonborn quest line but its better than comoletely starting over or reloading a save from way back.
I had the same problem where I think I fast traveled instead of just following Frea. And, at the time I didn't realize that something went wrong so I just kept on playing the game. So I did a bunch of other things and got to level 40 before realizing I was missing a bunch of the dragonborn quest line. So I wouldve had to revert back to a save a long time ago when I was only level 30 to fix the quest line. Wouldve been a pain to do aalll that crap again. Its much easier to just redo solstheim than like half of skyrim lol.
