Why does Lord Harkon do nothing when I accept his offer of becoming a vampire? - Crop businessman giving contract to woman to sign

I come in to Castle Volkihar and I accept Lord Harkon's offer of becoming a vampire and nothing happens.



Best Answer

This is a (sadly) common bug. Usually the only fix is to reload a previous save. But what works (PC only as far as i know seeing you need access to console commands) is to go to the entrance door, activate console commands (press ` next to the 1 on your keyboard) click on the door in the console command menu and then type unlock go outside and then back in and the quest semi resets.

Can you become a Vampire Lord after refusing?

Yes, it is possible to become a Vampire Lord after having completed the quest "Chasing Echoes". Serana offers it to you once during that quest, and again after the quest "Kindred Judgement".

Will the Dawnguard turn on me if I become a vampire?

No, they will no not attack you. I sided with the Dawnguard and became a vampire lord after finishing their main quest. Every NPC at the fort tells me to get cured, but none attacks me. Get cured if you need to buy crossbow bolts, get more radiant quests or use other services that the npc's provide.
