I'm not sure if Bethesda takes a look at these forums but I had problem where I was given a quest by an innkeeper/bartender in Riverwood to go kill the leader of Valtheim Keep. Several hours later when starting the Companions and got the same quest...but since the leader is already dead, the quest marker just hovers over his dead body, and I can't move forward in the arc. Anyone else have this? I'm guessing this is related to the Radiant system (which is a great concept) bug not referencing previous random quests correctly.

I'm certainly not livid or complaining a whole lot here, I am really enjoying the game so far and going back 2-3 hours to do a few things over again isn't going to kill me, but it is a little annoying. Just putting this out there in hopes it is noted and potentially fixed via a patch at some point.

went far enough back and did not do the first Valtheim Keep quest and got a different quest as my first "real" companions quest, all is well. Minor hindrance, as doing the first dragon battle again was a blast.

Glad it turned out OK!

I'm getting a companion radiant quest at valtheim where I am supposed to rescue someone that is kidnapped. Everyone is dead, yet, there is no person to rescue anywhere. The quest marker on the map is in the right place, but the quest marker in the in game compass points back to Whiterun. However, inspecting whiterun, the quest marker is messed up. This is frustrating..
