I am encountering what appears to be a bug affecting the quest to convince the Jarl of Eastmarch, Ulfric in this case, to grant permission for the East Empire outpost in that hold.
Some information about the problem:
After obtaining the Winterhold Jarl's consent for an outpost, I returned to Korrin and he talked about getting the blessings of every Jarl. After that point, I had all of the quests to convince each Jarl running at stage 1, or completed in the case of Winterhold, with one exception. The exception was the quest to convince the Jarl of Eastmarch, which was at stage 0 and seemingly did not start up. The Ravenrock quest was also at stage 1 and possible to complete. I have continued to play with this character for quite a bit following that part of the EEE questline. Now I have completed the quests to get the permission of each Jarl, except for Eastmarch's, and have completed the civil war quest line and am unable to get any dialogue about the East Empire company from Ulfric and the spirit for the favor does not appear at Agna's Mill.
As of my latest save file, the variables for the quest kgcEEC_ConvinceRuler_Eastmarch_Windhelm are:
"Enabled? No
State: Stopped
Current Stage 0."
Priority: 30
All Refs for the quest display "none" as their status.
When I speak to Ulfric, there is no dialogue about the East Empire Company. The spirit of the drowned mage doesn't appear at the waterfalls near Anga's Mill. The drowned mage's corpse does appear in Ygnol Barrow, but nothing happens when I attempt to interact with it. I never received the "Convincing Ulfric" documents either, though I recently added this item to my inventory with console commands. Ulfric is part of the RulingGov faction.
I tried a variety of console commands, such as SetStage, StartQuest, and none of those commands started up the quest or advanced it in any way. The quest remains at stage zero no matter what I do.
More background information:
I first installed the East Empire Expansion creation very early after creating this character, just after entering Whiterun. I recently tried disabling the majority of the mods that I am running and then using the "SetStage" console command, but that did not work and the quest remains at stage 0.
Using SetStage kgcEEC_OutpostManager 10 does successfully add the Windhelm EEC outpost at the docks, but I would prefer to complete the quest through the intended means if possible.
I am running version 1.6.1170.0.8 (SKSE64 2.26). I launch the game through Vortex.
