Exceptional guide that is succinct and concise - sadly I found it after I had arrived in Estgard and out of confusion ran to Valhold and spoke to Grannus - and after a lot more confusion I found this guide and started from step 10. Now it seems step 15 is broken for me - that is Essen won't head upstairs and I can't say “request” to him and seem stuck there?

Any suggestions or can a mod reset my progress so I can retry step 14?

Late Edit: when I was speaking to Grannus no dialogue tags were appearing but when I typed 'amulet' tags appeared and I was able to give him the quest amulet as expected.
