1. Like everyone else, the Purity of Revenge quest where the Silver Hand have attacked Jorrvaskr and Kodlak is dead but no one gives you the next quest because I already cleared out Driftshade Refuge. If there is one solace though, the quest is just to get a Skyreach (or whatever it's called...pretty powerful blade) sword, but you can just kill one of the Companions inside and get it with no real repurcussions. You can also then talk to Varkas and get Rescue Mission quests, etc. Still would be awesome to finish the questline though.

2. Can't remember the name or quest, but you are rescuing someone for the Companions stuck in a tower, you come across a Hagraven in a cage who wants you to free her to take back her tower from Petra, another Hagraven. If you don't free her however, and go kill Petra alone (pretty easy) and then go back and free the first witch, with Petra already dead....she walks in to Petra's room and just stands there. Quest won't complete.

The College of Winterhold quest Staff of Magnus in the dungeon before Labyrinthian (I forget what its called) the mage in the locked room requests an item he must have before he'll unlock a door so you can proceed. The item he needs is on a dead falmer mage you had to fight prior to talking with the mage.

The physics or animation initially glitched and the dead falmer mages body was frozen standing up and I could not interact with it to retrieve the quest item. Thankfully I was able to save and reload and it resolved the issue.

The Forsworn Conspiracy is a huge glitched quest, i would advise not even doing it! I have finished the quest, and yet if i go to the temple of talos, those three guards are still there, and now if i ever go back to Markarth, I have to literally kill every guard in order to walk around. I have a bounty in The Reach of like 58,000 gold because of this garbage

For the Mind of Madness quest, the staff the give you wont fire off anything anymore when it did before. I can't finish the quest.

Tending the Flames, the ruby claw door is broken in two different ways.

just want to update list of quests with one glitch or another this one is the windhelm quest ice blood or some crap you need to do it to be able to buy the house in windhelm now it seems many people have said it is one of the most glitched quests in the game and most cannot even start it inc me now i dont know if its because i stole the butchers journal before finding the body ( that has never shown spent a good hour going from windhelm and out doing all the quests trying to find anything that will help jumpostart the quest but nothing worked please bethesda fix this problem so we can buy the house and have the thane title for windhelm

Quest: Under New Management (Thieves' Guild).

I have done every quest in the guild. I have done every side quest and special mission. I head to the cistern where Brynjolf tells me I am to be promoted. I am wearing my full Thieves Gear, including my upgraded boots.

When I stand in the middle as instructed...nothing happens. My objective changes to, "Become the Thieves Guild master," but the scene doesn't progress. I speak to everyone in the room and they tell me they can't talk until after the ceremony. But the ceremony doesn't advance. I stand where the marker tells me to, and nothing happens. I'm now stuck at the end of this questline, right about to get this achievement, but can't move forward.

*spoiler* I am on the glory of the dead quest for the companions and everyone is just standing at the funeral the fire is lit and the companions have gone but the civilians are still ther and i believe that eorlund was supposed to talk to me but he wont and now kodlaks body is stuck on the skyforge forever along with the people. Need this to be solved to complete the companions, second glitched quest i have now.

Quest: Revealing the Unseen
Glitch: The next quest does not activate

During the final phase of Revealing the Unseen (where you need to drop Ancano's ward), after the Eye of Magnus gives off the blinding light and I am told to find the arch-mage, the quest ends, and no new quest is added. I head outside and find the arch-mage's corpse in the courtyard. I cannot search him, and still no new quests are added. I cannot advance the questline through dialogue with NPCs or by doing anything else. Be aware that I don't know as to whether the arch-mage is supposed to be dead or not, as I haven't been able to proceed past this point. Regardless, the important part is that I can't start any new College of Winterhold quests regarding its main storyline. Miscallaneous quests with other NPCs can be started, but the quests involving the Staff of Magnus cannot be activated; the entire questline ends abruptly and prematurely.

Seeing as how Bethesda already addressed some quest-ending bugs, I hope that they'll fix this one, too. Thankfully, I had a manual save from before I initiated the final phase of the quest ("Report to the arch-mage."), so I'll just put it on hold while I wait for a patch. If I stay out of the Hall of Elements until then, I should be fine, hopefully.

Update: Also, after the glitch has happened, if I go back into the Hall of the Elements, Ancano will be standing outside of the ward-sphere, doing nothing, and I can talk to him as though nothing happened.

Forsworn Conspiracy- See my thread on it in detail. http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1272438-bugbroken-quest-forsworn-conspiracy-spoilers/

Edit: Included link instead of copying and pasting because my thread has a massive amount of text. It's cleaner and more organized this way.

The Cornered Rat: I see some others have experienced issues starting this quest as well. Once you turn in the previous quest you never get the new one. Going to continue playing from a previous save (before Diplomatic Immunity) and wait for a patch. FIX IT BETH!

Unable to obtain the quest "Dampened Spirits" after the completion of "Loud and Clear". (Thieves guild quests)

The Glitches I ran into are as follows - Molag Bal quest in House of horrors, it will not let me leave the building upon taking the quest from molag bal to free the priest of boethiah. Investigating Butcher murders in Windhelm, will not give me the dialogue option to get help from Jolreif(Jarl's steward) so I cannot finish quest, also will not give me dialogue options to upgrade my house with him. Mephala's ebony blade or jarl Bruuhelf's children, was told that you can still do this quest even if you side with stormcloaks and they take over whiterun you just have to talk to the current jarl. There is no dialogue option with the jarl or anyone to further the quest to get the ebony blade.

So this leaves me down two daedric quests. Come on Bethesda please fix this.

I dont know if anyone has posted this glitch, but the search in topic did not bring anything up.
SPOILER ALERT

the quest in Markarth called "no one escapes cidhna mine" has a glitch if you side with the Forlorn.
I escaped the mine with the Forlorn leader and fought the guards. when i exited the city, the guards outside attacked me, even though the fighting was done. i killed a guard, thinking that the fighting was still happening, and recieved 1000 bounty.
i went to a previous save and didnt kill a guard after leaving the town. Instead, i fast traveled to a different location.
I then returned to the town of Markarth, only to be attack by every guard including the Jarl.

I have an idea to test, i will update with my findings.

[edited] i went back through the quest and found that as long as you dont participate in the fighting once you exit the dungeon, then everything will be fine.

Same problem its ruining my game, as i dont want to start over :/ hopefuly they bring in an update to resolve the problem !!

Not sure if this is listed already, no time to check previous posts and OP doesnt have a list anyhoo....

J'ZARGO'S EXPERIMENT Quest: After testing the flame cloak spell scrolls on 3 undead, prompt's me to speak to J'zargo, he repeats the same phrase over and over again wether you talk to him or stand close, therefore cannot complete quest.

I have tried using up the remaining scrolls too still cannot end the quest.

have you gotten the arch mage title yet? i ask because if you are in the middle of one of the later quests in that quest line, none of the mages do anything but say the same thing over and over. i was able to complete the quest you mentioned after completing the mage college quests. hope this helps

Miscellaneous Objectives can be completed infinitely and getting the Man of the People Achievement is glitched. When you have to find items for someone (Gold Ore for Madesi etc), you complete the objective when it is in your inventory. However, when you drop it or store it again, the objective re-activates WITHOUT unchecking the completed counter. You can essentially grind out 50 Misc Objectives by just dropping and picking up the Gold Ore 50 times, which while being quite a benefit to easily earn the Achievement, is something which I found quite disappointing.

Quest Glitch for when you had to kill the Hagraven Petra. She's dead but I didn't release the other Hagraven first and only Mjoll the Lioness and my summoned Flame Atronach fought her. Objective isn't completing.

Another Quest Glitch with the Markarth Hall of the Dead Misc Quest. I talked to Verulus(?) and got the key. I then came back weeks (in game) later and actually entered the HotD. I found the weird cannibal woman and immediately said something like "Die monster!" and engaged her in battle. Whilst this is going on, Verulus comes in and keeps saying "I think you should leave", so I hid until he walked out of the other door, and then I finished her off. When I exited, I couldn't find Verulus anywhere, but I thought he'd show up eventually, and I was right. He turned up at the Khajiit trading caravan outside Markarth and kept slowly walking up to me and force-engaged me in conversation to congratulate me. Now the problem is, he keeps slowly walking up to me and force-starting conversations. He follows me everywhere and at this rate either some random creature is going to kill him or I will. Quite annoying imo, and I can find no way of clearing the HotD from earlier saves that doesn't break him, so it needs a fix.

I've seen it posted a few times so far, but I figure I'll repost it.

Quest: The House of Horrors
Issue: Locked inside after talking to Molag Bal's alter, the door to Skyrim remains locked and "needs a key".

Normally, after you talk to Molag Bal's alter, he tells you to go save a monk only to kill him later. After agreeing, you are then supposed to be able to leave the haunted house and go perform said task. Nope, on the contrary. You are stuck inside the house because the door to Skyrim requires a key to open. Previous saves, cache clears and other attempts to fix the glitch hasn't helped. My highest level and most worked on character is now stuck and unable to leave a house. Cool.

i didnt have an issue with this quest because i didnt kill her, it activate a second quest that i dont think im going to attempt, maybe in the future. but i was able to talk to verulus just outside the tombs, and that was that. hope this helps

She deserved to be slain, fitting that she died in the Hall of the Dead. I will not condone cannibalism, and so I will not "negotiate" with her. The glitch is just an inconvenience, but still needs to be fixed.

misc quest by the jarl of rifton which is supposed to give you a rank in the city (maybe has to do with buying a house?). i looted the cave before, when i entered again i got an immediate quest update, now the quest is still in the journal but theres no marker anymore and i cant talk to the jarl about it.

Darkness Returns: the path behind gallus is closed shut

The same happened to me but with the book 'The waters of Oblivion'. Quest marker points to an empty chest in a dungeon i already cleared (Bleak Falls Barrow).

The only suggestion i can give is reloading to a save before you took the book. I know i wont be doing that though, it was quite a while ago now..

Season Unending

Just like everyone else... Can't talk to Ulfric because I have the "join the stormclaoaks" still active, and can't complete that because his guy won't talk talk to you. Also I tried to just join the Imperial Legion to try to fail the stormcloak quest but I can't do that either because I already talked to the general in season unending about meeting for the peace agreement thing.

On the sticky of the 1.1 patch this is not adressed but it seems like a very common glitch people are having. Anyone with past experience with Bethesda know what we can expect as to when this will be patched or even if?

I mean I can't do the main quest or join either side in the civil war, that is a pretty big bug.
