Why can't you talk to Odahviing after freeing him?

You can't talk to Odahviing after freeing him in Skyrim due to a common bug where the Jarl of Windhelm (Vignar Gray-Mane) isn't in Dragonsreach, often because you haven't started the Companions questline yet; he's stuck in Jorrvaskr, preventing Odahviing from properly recognizing you, but starting the first Companions quest, or waiting/reloading, usually fixes it so he appears and you can speak to him.

What to do after setting Odahviing free?

Comments Section Just pull the lever yourself. Reload a save or use the resurrect console command if you're on PC. Just had the bug as well. I just fast travel back to Dragonreach and it worked. The fast travel probably resets Odahviing and allows you to carry on with the main mission.

Yes, you can 100% Skyrim (achievements, quests, discoveries) in a single playthrough, but it's a massive undertaking requiring hundreds of hours and careful choices, especially regarding faction conflicts and DLCs, with some even suggesting multiple focused sessions for the most thorough completion. While many players achieve 100% achievements on one character, it's a long journey (200-300+ hours) focusing on maxing skills, completing all quests/DLCs, and discovering everything, often involving some unique methods like transforming into a werewolf/vampire to get those specific perks.

Killing Paarthurnax isn't definitively canon; it's a major player choice in Skyrim, and future lore might favor either outcome, but many fans argue killing him is more "lore-accurate" due to the Blades' insistence and dragon nature, while sparing him makes sense for his redemption, with Bethesda leaving it open for the player to decide what makes the most sense for their Dragonborn.
