Bugs

 * Bugs/Glitches: There have been instances in which the player fast travels and Esbern disappears. If this is the case, return to The Ratway Warrens. Once near Esbern's room, he should reappear engaging in combat with various Thalmor enemies. However, completing the quest in this manner is frustrating as Esbern will not "follow" the player despite being described as following the player. Esbern will walk at a slow pace from the Warrens in Riften to the objective in Riverwood. Waiting or fast travelling again will cause him to permanently disappear, forcing the player to follow him for around 2 hours real-time. Also, Esbern's pathing will often become confused, making him go in reverse. This is correctable by aiming an unrelenting force shout at Esbern in the correct direction to the objective, knocking him down the path and heading in the correct direction.
 * Delphine will randomly try and kill the player.
 * Esbern may be mute from the moment you meet him. Subtitles will flash through his lines if you talk to him.(only tested on PC, with subtitles)
 * Once you reach the wall, esbern may ask you a question and then not move. Delphine may also randomly lay down on the ground.
