Could this be a bug?

[Tigersong]

I'm trying to play through Morrowind's main quest and have reached a dead end. I have the journal entry saying that Caius has been recalled, as well as the items he's meant to give me, but the quest won't proceed from there. (Tried using the console to set the quest stage, and got a message saying "compiled script not saved.")

Do you have a promotion topic available in your conversion with Caius?

If so then click on it and you should have a journal update. If not then read your journal of both started quests and linked words in the dictionary by click on the Options in the left bottom in your journal.

Did Caius tell you this?

Continue pursuing the Nerevarine prophecies, as the Emperor commands. First, go to the Hall of Wisdom and Justice, and get Mehra Milo to help you find the lost prophecies. She's being watched; if something has gone wrong, find her private quarters; she'll leave you a message there under the code word 'amaya.' Then take the lost prophecies to Nibani Maesa. From that point, you'll have to follow her directions, and follow the prophecies. Good luck.

If so, this is what's in the results box and should be entered into the console:

Journal "A2_4_MiloGone" 1

PCRaiseRank

"bk_notetoamaya"->enable

"Mehra Milo"->modDisposition 20

"Mehra Milo"->PositionCell, -680, -363, 88, 270, "Ministry of Truth, Holding Cells"

If you're already an operative, don't enter the PCRaiseRank command. Not that it would break anything if you did. Here's the code for "promoted to Operative":

Player->AddItem "Gold_001" 750

Player->AddItem Caius_pants 1

Player->AddItem caius_shirt 1

Player->AddItem caius_ring 1

Journal A2_4_MiloCaiusGone 5

Problem solved. I'd simply neglected to ask Caius about my orders.

It's usually something simple.
