I have completed this quest (Still in the Dark) and waited and Hardin never took over as Elder I wanted him to, I wait yet there is no change.

There is a quest variable for this event which is bugged going by my searches on the subject.

Use the command "sqv 0015d79d" to see the variables

One is ElderSettledState which is 0 if no change has taken place.

Type;



The Elder is replaced, I will continue to bug check this fix, but so far Hardin acts as elder, and gave me my new quest.
