So I went into my home, and my wife said help... (random :S)

and then a quest appeared, Kill the master vampire!!!

so I went to the vampires hideout which was marked on the map...but there was bandits here..strange.

So I went into the hideout, killed them all, and the white arrow was just sittin on a wooden plank on the floor, no vampires in sigh!

(by the way I have cleared this bandit lair tons of times)

quest destroying bug...anyone else had this!?

hi

You might want the Hearthfire Bug Report forum.

This is actually a Dawnguard bug. Basically, you are supposed to get the quest to save your spouse/friend from vampires that kidnapped him/her from Florentius but due to a glitch you "save" them before they get kidnapped, screwing up the quest. Essentually doing the quest before you're supposed to. Loading a save before speaking to your wife and heading to Fort Dawnguard instead to get the quest would fix this problem. Is that still an option to load a save before this happened?

I have already done the quest to save my wife a long time ago lol..so i guess its happening again? oh well...Im just glad it wont affect anything else!

Those quests are all radiant, aside from artifact and crossbow schematics. They can easily pop up again.
