Blood on the Ice.

My Quest won't update it says to talk to Jorleif but all he says is to talk to Viola. And I can't seem to find Viola Giordana anywhere. I literally look everywhere and I can't find her. I even broke into her house and she's not there.

When I show up to my wedding (to Slygja) Lydia appears dead and naked on the floor. (She died a LONG time ago) Everyone freaks out and leaves, and I fail the "Attend You Wedding" quest....

So far I've run into two regarding the same type of go fetch quest where I'd pickup the named quest item during the course of earlier dungeon delving, which ends up preventing the go getch named item quest from completing even though the darn item is in my inventory already! Specifically, Hanging Gardens and Finn's Lute.

What brainiac decided to make those items non-droppable?
With the prevalence of the go fetch named item quests; what brainiac decided not to bug test the ability to pick up the items before the specific quest starts?

Nice art though! I guess we can all see where Bethesda spent their development dollars. You don't play graphics and when gameplay is buggy and broken you just have a turd in pretty box. Bethesda, Skyrim is a turd.

This is why people are reluctant to buy games at full price and you're losing money to the used game market.

Return Armen's Family Sword to Armen

I've had trouble finding any mention of this at all anywhere on the entire Internet. This is part of a miscellaneous quest in Whiterun, wherein a fellow named Armen has me retrieve a family sword. Some time after I finished the quest I leveled up, and when I went to cash in my newly-gained perk I noticed that my one-hand skill was listed as "20" in red, meaning it was hurt by something. I checked my stats and had not contracted a new disease since I had last cured myself of the second one, and when I went into the menu that lists all effects on me I found none effecting my one-handed skill or any negative effects at all. Fortunately I cycle through a handful of game saves and reverted to previous saves until I found the point prior to the problem. The save file from immediately before handing in this quest was fine, and the save from immediately after handing in the quest had the halved one-handed skill. I loaded the save prior to completion of the quest and completed it again, this time without my one-handed skill being reduced. The reward for completing this quest is he increases block skill by one point and also one-handed by one point, so it was supposed to raise one-handed from 40 to 41, but instead somehow reduced it to 20. I found no way of fixing the skill penalty aside from loaded before the problem.

TLDR = Completing the quest mistakenly penalized my one-handed skill, reducing it by 20 points, rather than increasing it like it was supposed to.

I'm glad I noticed before it was too late to fix it.

double post sorry

and in the bards quest i am stuck with a lute, flute and drum and they have weight and cannot get rid of them
those quests [all three] are broken as well

and never do a save inside your house did that and had nothing in my house. it is all gone!!



and i load a game not continue it cuz otherwise my stuff disappears
blood on the ice will not start

This seems to be a common problem..

The quest Alduin's Wall.

There is a glitch when you reach Karthspire and fight the frost dragon there. For the love of god people do not let that dragon crash opposite from Esbern and Delphine on the other side of the river. If you follow it and fight it there the first time you use any healing spell it will glitch and the dragon will automatically go into his killing blow fmv. You know the one where he grabs you in his mouth shakes you a bit and tosses you against the rocks? I just spent 2 and a half fvcking hours watching myself die the same way over and over and over again.

Boethia's Calling. After I sacrifice somebody and Boethia inhabits their body, she repeats the same line over and over again: AHHHGGG, Being in flesh is so nasty (something along those lines).

Fallen: the dragon regains health after hes in the trap

Yes I'm stuck on that one too the voice tells me to get the priest so then when I go to exit the house it tells me the for needs a key and I can't exit

In response to the walking nightmare i had the same problem but i managed to fix it after i looked it up on here, what i did was load a game where i saved right near the entrance to the temple, and i made sure to beat the guy to the door and go inside before him, and a few seconds later he appeared and it worked out fine from there, hope that helps

Thieves Guild quest, Darkness Returns.

I get to the end of the Twilight Selpucher, insert the skeleton key into the hole, Nocturnal appears, gives me her spiel, then disappears back into the purpilsh-black water. Sadly my quest log doesn't update, so I can't advance the quest as in choosing which one of the three powers I want. I have seen Karliah in the room, tried to talk to her, nothing comes out of it. She just walks up to one of the alchoves that has the same water Nocturnal disappears into, goes through the animation of opening a door and disappears.

Not really a quest but, can't sell the right and left eye of Falmer to Delvin, only larceny items he wouldn't purchase from me.

The Pale lady quest

NPC that gives out quest wont engage in the conversation to give you quest.

Main Quest : A cornered rat

Spoke to bryjolf, was told to meet him in the ragged tavern but after that no objective added and when i speak to him he just replys with "hnm".

I did try to wipe out the thievs guild before the quest.

Alduin's Wall - Early in the game I got to the big face door at Sky Haven after doing all the bridges and puzzles etc. realised I couldn't progress so I went off and did other quests and whatnot, then when I got up to the Alduin's Wall quest proper, Esbern and Delphine run off back to the 3 pillar puzzle and stay there...tried a few things but nothings working and my save files pre-completing the Sky Haven puzzles are ridiculously way back into my game.

Breaching Securty - Gaius never went into Winterhold or Solitude, waited at both on both days, then a week just to be sure. Then I tracked and followed him and watched him walk right on past Winterhold without going in. Walking. The. Whole. Time. At. One. Mile. An........Hour. It was painful.

I did the same thing on PS3 50 hours in and I can't continue the main quest line because I did the puzzle 20 hours ago!

Me too after speaking to Brynjolf after completing loud and clear there was no option to speak to mavin, even though he told me speak to her. This is a big glitch as I can not now complete the thieves guild questline.

On "Blood on the Ice", after completing the quest and buying all of the upgrades for the house, the "murder scene" is still all over the house and in the secret room. Also I cant use any of my weapon displays in the armory. Any one else have this issue?

I found a way around the glitch! If you don't fast travel to sky haven temple and start the quest at karthspire camp and fight the dragon and then walk all the way to the temple with esbern, they won't get stuck at the first puzzle!

I have been playing for 93 hours since the game came out on 11/11. I have had no issues no bugs no problems until now. I completed "No One Escapes Cidhna Mine" and now I cannot return to Markarth without being attacked by all the guards. If I yield and say I'll pay off my bounty (thieves guild) they say not this time your going to rot in Cidhna Mine and you'll never see sunlight again and I say fine take me to jail, and nothing happens, it goes back to me saying "what's this about?" and the conversation repeats itself. Whether I pay the bounty or say I'll serve the time, they never actually take me away. They just attack me and I have to run away cause more guards just keep coming. This is a serious kink in the main story line cause now i have 3 other main story line quests that want me to go into Markarth but I can't cause everyone attacks me.

Anyone else come across this serious issue? BTW I'm on Xbox 360.

Repairing the White Phial: i already had the unmelting snow and the briar heart before starting this quest and now i cant finish the quest i can just ask about the items but not give them to complete it.

I have a pretty serious main quest bug that stops me from going any further in it. It's Throat of the World and the objective is to Speak with Arngeir. I think it's the part where I learn a new shout and then fight a dragon? I've tried all the dialog options with Arngeir but the quest never updates and the objectives never change. The quest marker always points to him, too.
Please fix this Bethesda, I cannot continue the main quest. And I can't use an older save because it was soooo long ago, probably at least a hundred hours ago.

This is the 5x my weapons and magic can't be ready or sheathed ! The "X" button is frozen! I had Game Stop look into the matter and they found nothing wrong with my disc, controller, and even tried to play another XBOX game. What gives??!! I shouldn't have to turn my console off and on in order to have things normal. Sincerely, a very disappointed Elder Scrolls fan.

(Quest) Conjuration Ritual Spell

I had a follower with me that killed the Dremora and now I can't resummon it. I tried loading an old save file and that doesn't even fix it. WTF lol
