Mission:
Return to your Roots

Objective:
Bring 30 Crimson Nirnroot to Avrusa Sarethi

i got all 30 & doesnt give me the option to give them to her.

I believe that where it says: -"Alduin's Wall" Esbern may disappear making the quest impossible

You should change it to: -"Alduin's Wall" Esbern/Delphine or both may disappear making the quest impossible

Beacuase I had Delphine dissappear while Esbern is there staring at Alduin's Wall, with the dialogue: "Isn't it amazing" making the quest uncompletable. While searching for help over the internet I also discovered that you might get both characters to dissappear too.

Bethesda is going to check my saves so I am hopeful they will fix the ash pile bug I am still having, they are also going to check the ingredient and enemy respawn bugs I have been having thought I would let you all know. I am hoping they get fixed.

1. In Whiterun while doing a job for Devlin to steal Arcadia’s Emerald ring, the fence in the main circle was laying on the ground, and the Cow was jumping up and down.

2. I bought a house in Windhlem but the quest room did not appear as stated in the decorating book.

3. Last few days, I had an issue with Auto save would not load. I resolved it by losing a full level.

4. At the Guardian stone fish were swimming in transparent water, in fact the whole river was transparent.
While doing another job in Windhlem the Jarl was sitting on his throne backwards with his feet on the throne seat. His backside was in midair with no support, and it did not correct itself.

Meridia Shrine will not give quest out to me at all. i believe its a bug involving the dragon that keeps showing up everytime i go to the shrine. =/

female Wood Elf level 34

Major frame rate drops and freezing inside Ansilvund while fighting mages.

Work around -- Running away from enemies and fighting one at a time prevented xbox from freezing, but still had major frame rate issues.

I had the same problem. The count is not accurate. You actually have less than 30. Go back to Blackreach and find a few more and then you'll be able to finish the quest. The Crimson Nirnroot respawns so dont worry about not being able to find more.

Also, if you've invested in Alchemy keep a few of them for yourself so you can combine it with Jarrin Root and craft the most powerful poison in the game that "causes 6480 points of poison damage. Decrease the target's Magicka regeneration by 100% for 162 seconds. Drain the target's Stamana by 292 points. Drain the target's Magicka by 97 points."

Unable to become Thane of Riften, even after 1.4 patch (the patch claimed to fix some related issue)... I know many have run into this glitch, but I haven't seen it described in this thread. In my game, I completed the civil war storyline on the side of the Imperials and was able to purchase Honeyside from Hemming Black-Briar right afterward. I purchased the house and all upgrades, visited it to see what it looked like, then returned to Mistveil Keep and spoke to Jarl Maven Black-Briar. From this point on I lost all dialogue options with the Jarl. She wouldn't talk to me about becoming Thane. For what it's worth, I've only played Skyrim 1.4 on the XBox (I purchased the game after the patch was out and updated the game before I created any save files).

Otherwise, I've been lucky in my game, and haven't had any truly disrupting glitches. However, here are some other things that clearly still have issues:
-"Investigate the Boethiah cultist" miscellaneous quest remains in inventory even after Boethia's Calling is completed
-Can't "Report Leifnar's death to his family" (I found the body before I talked to his family)
-Esbern asked me to "Kill the dragon located at Dragontooth Crater" after completing the Blades quests, but I discovered the location and a dragon (which I killed) beforehand and now can't seem to finish his request
-Can't "Bring a Dragon Scale and a Dragon Bone to Esbern" after completing the Blades quests
-Louis Letrush is funky and typically lurks with half of his body below the surface. In my friend's game (on another console), Letrush was self-replicating and appeared in a number of places at once!
-Has anyone else run into the glitch where you walk into a shop and there's a fountain of blood squirting out into the air in the middle of the room? This happened to me at one point during the Dark Brotherhood missions (in any indoor location I went into), but it went away after I reloaded my game.
-I once ran into an invisible dragon. He was on my radar but couldn't be seen. I aimed in its general direction and eventually struck a fatal blow, upon which point I absorbed a soul from the faintest outline of a dragon. It took me a long time to down that thing since all I had to go by was where it was on the x-axis.

New Walking Nightmare Quest Bug: I just found this new quest bug while playing the Walking Nightmare quest in Dawnstar. The problem is after I enter the temple Erandar opens the doorway, we go through, we see the skull of corruption, we head down the stairs dispatch a couple of Orks, we speak a bit Erandar tells me to follow him to the library, we walk up the stairs, and here is the problem Erandar stops dead twitches a bit, and doesn’t move from his spot on the stairs. We do not go to the library, Erandar doesn’t move from his spot on the stairs.

1. I have re-loaded the quest point where we walk up the stairs hoping it will get Erandar to walk to the library. This did nothing to help.

2. I have deleted this quest and start it again. The same issue a raised. I even tried to enter the temple first, and no luck.

3. I have tried to kill Erandar nothing happens because you need to get to the library because Erandar has the key, and I needed him to open the library.

edit: nevermind, reloaded today and apparently all is well

Not sure it will help you, but I had the same problem and found a possible work around. I pushed him part way up the stairs and tried to open the library door on my own. Then I activated him again, and the quest continued as normal.


Bug

Shrine of Talos in Whiterun gives 0% shout duration bonus

Wood Elf female level 34, Nord female level 4.

Punch Erandar untill he becomes hostile and then lead him to the locked door and then put away your fists and he will stop attacking you and the door will be unlocked. He will then start following the script. Works every time.

Druadach Redoubt - Kill the Leader....

The moment I entered the cave, everyone kept saying "the reach will be ours again.". They were not even hostile to me, because I think of a conflicting quest. I killed several members before they turned hostile, and the leader was just up there hammering away on the blacksmith forge. Easy kill.

Female nord level 5

Frost dragon fell out of the sky in front of Redoran's Retreat. No fight, no dragon scales or bone and no soul, but it was dead.

Shield Charge (the last, most amazing perk under Block) used with Ebony Mail, awarded by Boethiah, will be glitched permanently, due to the damage health/shrouding-smoke effect.

I tried many saves prior to that one, and while Charge will work for awhile, it always fails very shortly after use. Clearing cache seemed to help, but only to reset the issue to come back within 1-2 saves/few minutes/hour. Unbelievably infuriating, due to the massive effort involved with pursuing this perk in the first place, and the utter awesomeness of the Ebony Mail to begin with. Completely a friggin bummer on so many levels.

I thought I found a way to fix this. Do not use Ebony Mail, period. I am wrong. This glitch will show up no matter what, no matter the armor, etc. It took longer for it to happen, and it does seem tied to the file size or some such bs.

I would have rather waited for Skyrim to be released on 12-12-12, given all of the complete consternation that millions of players have undoubtedly experienced- daily.

I am done with Skyrim and Bethesda. I was going to pick up RAGE, a game I've seen and liked, but now- screw it and this company.

Todd Howard needs to apologize to all of us.

Alright so I have a Companions radiant quest (Striking the heart) and it gave me Valtheim, but I already had a radiant there before (to kill bandit leader)

Now when I go to Valtheim there is the quest market but no enemies so therefore I can't advance in the Companions storyline, and I had hopes 1.4 would fix this, so please Bethesda could you fix this quest breaking bug please

Sleeping doesn't refresh the area and going to another companion all they do is just tell me that Aela has me on a job (and Aela tells me to complete it)

I was working on "Walking Nightmare" for the 2nd time on a new character due to it bugging out last time and not having back up saves to fix it. And once again, it bugs out even with back up saves. That's twice I've had Erandur disappear once I load into the Temple. I also have an issue where if I go to the basemant of the abandoned house I cannot exit the house as it's locked. I'm unable to complete these quests it seems no matter how many tries. Talk about bad luck. I do not wish to start a 3rd character for just these 2 reasons and I'd like to get the achievement as it's the only one I'm missing. Very disappointing. But tons of game breaking bugs. Sick of hearing "should have got it on PC lol"

Three more bugs:

1) One of my followers is most likely having the replicating hunting bow bug (google it for more info). She can't carry anything anymore and if I take something from her, it's too heavy to give back. I have to instruct her to pick up items, but she's useless as a pack mule at this point. I Wabbajacked her (a few times, actually) but her carry weight is still the same.

2) Random dead dragons falling from the sky (as previous posters have said). Sometimes they have a full inventory (dragon bones, scales). Sometimes they don't. This has happened about five times so far. About three of the occurrences are likely the same dead dragon (he's only got leather boots in his inventory, which I didn't loot). None of the dragons burn up.

3) Activating unmelting snow does nothing and doesn't add to my inventory (this is an addition to "Repairing the Phial" not triggering).

Markarth: "Kill the leader of Deepwood Redoubt"

*I'd already cleared Deepwood Redoubt all the way through to Hag's End for another quest line. When I went back there, the Forsworn had respawned, but killing everything did not trigger the quest completion for "Kill the leader of Deepwood Redoubt."

Given that I did wait, and the leader that should have triggered completion didn't, I don't think waiting is a solution in this case. I'm not sure what to do other than wait for a patch.

Possible larger picture fix: Allow a player to delete a quest (or reset it) so that everything respawns properly (and markers are removed). However, don't do this if it introduces more problems than it solves.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting that house in Markarth eventually! Sooner rather than later, I hope!

My character is at level 63 and every time I try to enter Understone keep (Markath) loading screen freeze and sometimes during the game it freeze as well But with other character(new one level 32) it does n't .

Thanks for your hard work guys

Hi All,

I'm currently experiencing a bug and cannot find much help online with it. It involves one of the Civil War Quest "The Battle for Fort Greenwall". I got the mission from Legete Rikke but once I meet up with my Imperial brothers and start marching towards Fort Greenwall there are absolutely no Stormcloak enemies at Fort Greenwall. Once I arrive the quest starts with a notification "Enemies at 100%" but there are absolutely no Stormcloaks there to battle.

I've read online (Skyrim wikia) with a few tips such as reloading a save (I've tried), reloading a save and make sure that your quest way point arrow is not highlighted (I've tried), Waiting numerous times (I'm not sure what they mean by numerous but I've tried this). Apparently there is a temporary fix (by sneak attacking the Jarl @ Riften which completes the Fort Greenwall quest) but it also mentions by doing this it may ruin the Civil War Quest after the Fort Greenwall quest.

I dont mind not getting the achievement because I can always start a new character just to try and get the achievement (as long as this questline is not totally fubar'd) but don't want to go through the hassle if I don't have to as my main (only) character has over 200 hrs clocked in. Has anyone run into this issue? Is there any work around or a permanent fix? Any advise would be great.

I did try and search for an answer on the forums and couldn't find anything. If there was a post/thread about a fix I apologize.

UPDATE: Okay. I got it to work finally. What I did this time was clear my cache, reload a previous save before reporting in to Legate Rikke to finally start the quest "The Battle for Fort Greenwall' without any quest markers in my journal highlighted as suggested and then travel to where the Imperial soldiers were waiting to attack Fort Greenwall. I'm not sure if this made a difference but there was a dragon flying above where the Legion soldiers were waiting. Instead of killing it I ran towards Fort Greenwall and the dragon followed me and sure enough Imperial soldiers were finally fighting against Stormcloak soldiers. The dragon actually helped fight off some Stormcloaks as well as killing some of my Legion brothers. Hope this helps anyone else that may have been having an issue with this.

XXR911XX here,


Last night I finally attained a level 60 character and was feeling pretty good about it right up until I went to the companions guild for some training more specifically their headquarters Volks something or other you guys know what I mean lol.

Upon entering the building Vilkas thanked me again for the millionth time for being a good friend as I already completed this questline. the problem "glitch" I encountered you might already know about is that he pulls his sword out and speaks and no matter what I do he will not leave me alone.

This would not be so bad if it was just that but after trying to leave the building my game crashes over and over again I have tried everything from killing him and going the " I am the Jarls thane " route to going to previous saves aka my level 59 and the glitch will not allow me to enter and leave the building without crapping its pants.

Long story short I don't take S#!7 from video games Im a lifer and have my 59 save thank god I had a hard save but completely lost a full level and now I have to avoid the companions headquarters as even my 59 save will still encounter the glitch.

That said playing skyrim tonight love it and I usually do not report bugs but this one if I did not have a hard save could have made me burn your game bethesda.... as 200 hours of gameplay could have been lost due to being stuck by the autosave feature.

Any idea how to get around this ? or do I have to hard save everytime I try to enter this building in fear of the big freeze! HELP !!!

"Infiltration" quest:

If you kill everyone before meeting Stalleo, quest can't be completed. I went behind the tower and climbed some rocks to enter Treva's Watch and killed everyone and opened the front gate. Then later on, I found Stalleo in his camp telling me to use the backdoor. Quest wont complete because everyone has been killed.

Thane of Solitude quest bug, didn't see this in the list but this bug is still happening in Skyrim 1.4 Xbox 360

-If you complete all five favors before being given the quest to do so, The quest will not update correctly, leaving you with a quest entry "Assist the People of Haafingar 5/5".

Black-Briar Lodge

My companion is Derkeethus. I killed all of the Black-Briar mercenaries in the lodge. I then quit the game, and loaded my save game at a later time. I am still in the lodge, and when I try to select Derkeethus inventory, he says "You're not supposed to be in here!". It is currently midday. He still follows me around but I cant access his inventory while inside the lodge. When I stepped outside, he returned to normal. When I go back inside, he is bugged again.
