I ran into the tower the minute the dragon appeared but had no conversation with the Stormcloaks at that point (probably because I missed an on-screen hint and therefore was trying to use space to talk, rather than E), so I'm guessing that that is where things were broken. After a severe but likely unrelated bug(the game would not save at all), I started a new game, but this time he did not advance through the level as before.- 74.77.139.0 19:55, 12 November 2011 (UTC) Not sure whether or not this is similar to the previous comment, since there is insufficient detail, but I've played through this section without needing to fight anything other than the spiders and bear, and with no contact with Hadvar between entering the keep and leaving the cave, at which point he magically appeared. Hadvar only lead me to the exit properly on my first play. Alduin broke through the wall and I stood right in front of him, and then he kept doing an animation like he was trying to do the "Yol Shul" dragon shout but no fire came out, I backed up and he still kept repeating the animation, I was completely unable to continue and I had to revert to the earlier autosave. Right after Alduin attacks, I rushed into the tower after Ralof but then proceeded to run up the stairs right after I entered. Ijiero 19:57, 11 November 2011 (UTC) Also found a bug.

Only then was I able to continue the level. I had to 'backtrack' the whole way, facing all enemies on my own, to meet with the npc (forgot his name) that helps you through the level. I jumped on a cart of cabbages, the first you run into, and fell through the floor into a part further in the level.

This would have significant implications for the storyline in Skyrim, so I would like to have further confirmation if possible. The dragon is dark black and has matching horns and snout.

I saw a leaked video of the beginning of Skyrim (i.e this quest) and am fairly sure the dragon which appears is, in fact, Alduin. 22 Horses go bananas when starting main quest via console.21 Moved from article page (invincible Lokir).17 Explanation of bug - Wagon you start in doesn't stop.12 Minor bug: gain a small amount of free sneak experience.4 Cutting the Main Quest for free-roaming (the basics of an alternate-start mod).
