******* DAWNGUARD SPOILER ALERTS, FOR QUESTS

So I completed the quest in the soul cairn then got a new video card so decided to restart Skyrim. I've been playing for about 2 weeks now and I get to the quest (as a human) where you have to help Serena find her mom. Well I don't feel like doing this all over again so I just whip through some doors using tlc to get to the end. Well Serana doesn't come with me so I go outside on the balcony so she'll appear but now I can't get back in. So I'm trying to figure out how to transport back in but I end up transporting to the soul cairn thinking that will just forward everything. Well that completes the previous mission but doesn't open up the gate for soul cairn. Sarena doesn't follow me to Soul Cairn and her mom cant be iniated to start the quest. The worst part is that I go to do a previous load and somehow someway I have no damn previous loads except for when I'm level one on the cart. (I have about 4 quicksave loads but they're all after the quest f up)

I've tried setstage etc but I've never used these with the ID's before and I seem to just be getting myself in a deeper hole. If there's a way to clear all these quests, find Valencia, find the scrolls etc. Honestly even if it's just forward because I really didn't feel like doing through the Soul Cairn anyway.. I kinda hated the quest and I think Arvak is kinda dumb as well. (Sorry Arvak) so... please... give me the words I must speak to my console and save the day!

First off.. 40+ thousand posts..? You deserve a shrine :p and thank you I actually found a load from before I went completely off the trail and just had to go through the dungeon all over again.

If on computer, and an issue comes up where you get stuck/locked behind something. There is a command (cant remember it at the moment) in which you can fly, and walk through walls/objects.

I had a quest that kept locking me into a dungeon, and the doors wouldnt open like normal. Nothing triggered it, so I was forever stuck. Until I used that command.

It sounds like it's this quest (I don't have Dawnguard, so I could be mistaken). If so, it sounds like you would need to type:

setstage DLC1VQ05 40

This should get you to the dialogue with Valerica. Sounds like you've replayed it already so it's a moot point.
