Dawnguard, Doing All Radiant Quests Once

Post » Sun Nov 18, 2012 4:51 pm

I like to do every quest possible, but I don't like repeating the same radiant quest unless there are a specific amount, such as the three the Lost Relic quests. Well, I did two of the Lost Relic quests, but now I keep being sent to Gunmar who is trying to give me a quest that I've already done. I've done all of his radiant quests, I believe. Why did they design it so that you can't just pick which quests you do? Why do they keep throwing you around like a hot potato? This seems like a poor design choice to me.

So, has anybody managed to do all of the quests without getting repeats, or am I going to be forced to do a repeat quest for the first time in my character's 80+ hour history?

I spent two hours doing these side-quests, and five repeats later, still nothing. I'm reloading an earlier save and I'm just going to do what I can without getting a damn repeat. I want to be able to look through my journal properly and not have fifteen instances of the same quest.

I'm thinking of putting Skyrim back in, so I wanted to bump this. I still need to do the third Lost Relic quest, and A Jarl's Justice, but each time I head to the fort they want me to do another generic radiant mission. Is there anyway to force them, on the 360, to give me something different?

It is very frustrating, I know. Poor design, really. Best bet: save just before turning in your last quest. Then turn in that quest, ask for the next and if you don't get what you want, reload and repeat until you get what you want. Still no guarantee. But I figure I have to do at least one Gunmar quest inbetween getting the lost relic quests.

That's what I did to get the first two Lost Relic quests, but I couldn't get it to work for the third. Each time I sent me to the guy, he gave me a Rescue quest. I had already done a Rescue quest and didn't want to do it a second time. I know it's not a big deal, but I like to look at my quest log and it would just bother me to see five instances of "Animal Extermination" in the companions, you know? The Thieves Guild has it worse - if they want to complete it, they'll have at a minimum of 25 garbage quests cluttering up their quest logs.
