*MAJOR FORSWORN CONSPIRACY QUEST SPOILERS*
In Markarth you learn of a conspiracy involving the Forsworn. Eventually the quest line leads to you being ambushed by guards in the temple of Talos. If you agree to come along quietly, you get sentenced to life in the mines. The quest progresses, and you are given the choice of helping the leader of the Forsworn or killing him.
I chose to listen to him initially, and then was never given the option of killing him again. So I simply killed him without the option to challenge him. The quest updated as normal and told me to search his body. I did. I took his key, and escaped through the ruins. Then the NPC (forget the name) met me and gave me all my items back, thanking me for eliminating the leader of the Forsworn.
Quest completed. So far so good. Anyway, many hours and quests later, I find myself back in Markarth. I have a disease, so I head to the temple of Talos, and...
...the guard ambush is back. Same dialogue. It prompts me to give up and go back to the mines, as if the whole quest has been reset. So I decided to fight them instead, and now I have a huge bounty in Markarth.
Needless to say, I'm reloading and avoiding the temple as a temporary fix. But this is first fairly big bug I've run into lol.
