So, the thing is, at the time I wasnt interested in hunting daedric artifacts, and I accepted the quest, found Barbas and had to follow him. Since we were in the forests close of Falkreath, a Troll atacked, and since then lost track of him. Didnt care much at the time since I could justFast travel to Haemar's shame, which the map points at as his whereabouts.
Now that I'm daedrichunting the artifacts (just 4 to go, including Clavicus Vile's daedric quest), every time I go to Haemar's shame, there is no Barbas to find near the entrance, etc.
I have dumped my companions, had come walking from falkreath to Haemar's shame, even stopped at Helgen, killed the bandits and opened all the locked doors. But still no signs of Bast-, I mean Barbas. So has anybody elso gone through the same? Is it safe to continue the quest and kill off all the vampires in Haemar's Shame? Will Barbas reappear? And will Barbas become Barbaras I wonder, if the guys from Dawnguard ever get a hold of him and castrate him? Maybe (s)he is shy and thats why I cant find him?
Anyway thanks in advance to everyone.
